Their capacity is reduced this season remember due to building work on their new stadium. Away allocation will probably be around 4000.

I'd forgotten about that

Maybe they will move it to Wembley!!

A very disappointing draw. It's going to be tough winning it this year but when has that stopped us...............

I'm fairly optimistic about this.  They'll probably make a few changes from their strongest league squad, and they won't be looking forward to playing us.  They "should" win easily, but will see us as a potential banana skin.  I think they'll shit themselves and we'll win 2-1.  Before losing 2-0 at home ourselves in the next round to Grimsby or somebody, obv.

I'm happy with that. We've got piss all chance of winning the cup. No way in hell we'd make 2 FA Cup finals in 3 years in this day and age. Not a hope. So I'd rather, whatever games we do get in this comp, we get big sides. And I want us to go out there like we're the big dicks. I don't want us going out like we're a plucky underdog. Hell, that's how we went out against Arsenal. We might as well have been a bastard pub side rolling into Wembley to play them. Pathetic.

Lets enjoy the game. Make it a big match. And remind a club like Tottenham that we should be competing at their level.

I don't want to go on a cup run against League 2 sides. We might as well enjoy a big day out and frankly I'd actually fancy our chances against a better side, than if we play an underdog in the cup, because we seem to get our pants pulled down regularly. We've done it once already this season. Granted I don't think (hope) Bruce would drop a rick of that level.

Well it might help Bruce sort the wheat from the chaff.

2-1 Miller and Bale for them, Cropley for us.

A repeat of 1992.  Spurs 0 Villa 1.  We'll score on 5 mins, control the game and win with something to spare.  Guaranteed.

When Leicester played there in the 3rd round last year tickets were £20.

That's pretty good.  Might try and snap one up for that. 

By the way you can all blame me for this draw.  I was watching it with Mum and as the field was starting to narrow I said to her that I was a bit concerned that Spurs were still left in... opps! Well there's always 2018!

Make it a big match? Giant killing? Christ on the cross and I'm sorry but, #Saunders_heroes how far have we really sunk to think a game at poxy Tottenham "not won the title since colour TV was invented" Hotspur is a big game?

Sorry, yes, they get into the big eared cup via a back door and they're out before the Christmas decs go up.

Spurs can fuck off, living off a wanky N17 post code.

Just for Eammon, I think their manager is the best in the league. See I can do it.

A lot will depend on the next few weeks and our results.  Bruce isn't known for putting the cup first, if  things go against us result wise up to the New Year he might have a  change  of heart.

All I want is to see us win our FA Cup in my lifetime  - reality says slim.  I think we missed our best chance when we played Chelsea.
