It's Our Year Vol. 69 ....FA Cup R3. Spurs (A)

[London Villan]

Spurs are another team we seem to play a lot in the cup. At least 4 times i can remember.

[PeterWithesShin]

5th time we've drawn them in the FAC in my time.

[London Villan]

10,000 tickets hopefully.

[Dante Lavelli]

Given that we are never going to win it, may as well get someone like Man City or Liverpool away. That way I get some enjoyment if we win, more so than a routine win against some lower league side. And if we lose, concentrate on the league/Europe.

Et voila!

[Steve67]

Tottenham won’t want to play us either.

[lovejoy]

It’s a good draw. We can play the reserves and lose without disgrace. Focus on the bigger goals.

[Toronto Villa]

They are shit at home and are about to face a side that has beaten them there the past two seasons and are arguably the most in form team in Europe. I’d be well fucked off to be in their shoes.

[Somniloquism]

Three of the last four seasons, but we lost there last season. Under Emery we have lost two and won four though.

It'll be two heavily-rotated teams, IMO.

shit you're right. For some reason I thought the Pau header was a year ago. It was 2023.

[Crown Hill]

I think we’ll play our strongest team.
 There’s no game midweek following.

[SaddVillan]

We'll make more money out of an away tie at Spuds than if we were to play them at home.

Each club gets 45% of gate receipts (10% to the FA).

The most ip to date gate recceiot figs - 2023-24

Spurs made £4.9m per game
Villa £1.3m

Based on those numbers
An away tie gives us £2.45m
A home tie - £0.585m

Madness!!
