Apparently FA Cup home ties with big away support, they give the "Bill Shankly Kop" which holds just under 6k, about a quarter of the capacity.

It's what we had when going there in the Championship.

We really couldn’t have asked for a better draw. A Wembley visit beckons.

Bollocks to the league. Strongest side possible for that please, hopefully the majority of our big hitters are back.

Think the home leg against Bruges on the 12th will be the last game we play before it (although we'll have a few away with international duty).

We've got Brighton on 1st April, so surely won't be scheduled any later than Saturday?

A note of caution: If I remember, we drew Oldham away in the quarter finals around the early 90s? I think we lost 3-0 on a terrible pitch! I really thought it was our year then! It's good that this will be played at the end of March, by which time I'd imagine most of the long term injuries will have cleared up. We should have enough on the day to beat Preston.

Bloody arrogant Vilers thinking they have the trophy won already. Feck 'em, Blues are on the up.

Anyone would think they wanted teams that would pull high viewing figures still in.

Burnley got 5,686 there yesterday, so should be the same for us
