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

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

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!

Tottenham won’t want to play us either.

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

Those figures are based on a PL game with a full house and obscene ticket prices. Our Cup game won't be a full house and will have reduced ticket prices.

And presumably they don’t split the catering and hospitality income?
