I just loathe the British press's utter-wankfest about yanited "biggest club in the World" - my arse - Bayern, Real and Barcelona dwarf them.

Much as I hate them, they're probably the biggest globally. The Premier League and the English language have a lot to answer for.

Quite true. At the very least, they really are not 'dwarfed' by anybody.

All I have are memories of whisky nose bringing on Van horse face then the game changed.  Then who can forget Kiralys fcuk up at their place.  The stupid pyjama wearing tosser.

I can't, I have an irrational hate for the man to this day, and he sullied the good name of this club turning in out in a pair of sub-Sports Direct joggers.

I think we just might.  This new bloke will take time to settle and they might well be in another crisis by then.

The draw has pissed me off.

I look forward to the FA Cup every year and a little bit of hope inside my heart drifts away when we go out.

Please just win.

Imagine if after not winning at home against these for 26 years or however long it is, we win three in the same season.

It would be typical.

I think it just might happen  8)

Didn't he have to wear those joggers because he has an allergy to grass?  Not ideal for a professional footballer.

There's nothing irrational about it.

I remember some self-entitled idiot calling 5Live because him and his daughter found themselves less than welcome after celebrating one of their goals while sitting on the Holte. Can't remember the game but what did he expect?

That happened after the 1-1 in 2015 as well. The guy's son cheered Falcao's header and people around told the stewards to kick them out and he was on the radio whingeing about it  ;D

I seem to recall back in the 90s a Man U (or some other glory team) fan writing into the Villa programme to complain he had sat with his family on the Holte End and got abused.

Doug Ellis printed the letter in the programme and told us it was just not on and we need to behave better etc.

Practically encouraging away fans to sit in the home ends!

Did Randy read that and feel emboldened when canvassing Siralix's opinion ahead of appointing McLeish ?!

In fairness we’ve had some piss easy draws in both cups over the last decade and still managed to fuck most of them up
Made it to the final a couple of times as well

All to play for

its Manure at  TTOD on prime time TV with all sorts of Pro Red Royal Wedding type punditry.
Yeh I am sure the game will be reffed fairly and squarely.

Pity OGS couldn't still have been there - apparently the new bloke is a cross between Pepe Guardiola, Sir Alf Ramsey and Jurgen Klopp if you believe all the crap they've been spouting since they obliterated the Mighty Crystal Palace 1:0.......

Init. We're just the invited sacrifice to the next stage of the Rangnick revolution. It's one thing drawing a tough away tie, another having to put up with all that plastic manc crap.

Anyone ever heard of the guy before?...

One thing is for certain, whether it was us or MK Dons, the game will be televised.

Oh hang on, since they're no longer a top club the BBC broke the ritual of broadcasting every single consecutive cup game involving the Plastics. It was some run though, 12 (TWELVE) years and 58 games.

Reasons to be positive:
We probably have a better chance of winning up there.
They have new manager bounce, but their cough might be softened by then.
We'll surely win one of the ties in the 2 weeks?
Shades of '57
Our manager will approach this game differently than previous managers have, in terms of attitude anyway.

We're basically going into this game a dodgy decision and an inevitable penalty down, so we will need to score 3 to beat them. Hopefully Ollie stays fit as he is our best chance of goals right now.
