It's Our Year Vol. 69 ....FA Cup R4 Newcastle (H)

[Brazilian Villain]

That痴 an annoying draw.

It's an annoying draw, but I think we'll beat them. They've a lot games to play in the next month.

[AV82EC]

Oof just seen Newcastle痴 fixtures from this weekend for the next 6 weeks or so, I think they have aways at PSG, Liverpool, Citeh (twice), Villa and Spurs. Not forgetting they値l have a CL Knockout tie in all field straight after our game.

[Somniloquism]

Have a bad feeling it'll be away to Newcastle. Playing them at Sid Jameses both in the league and cup either side of the end of the month and getting fuck all as per.

Half right.

Should win, hopefully it's not a repeat of 2 years ago in the league when we let Schaar bully us as they ripped-up another of our fine home records under Unai.

Schar won't be doing any bullying this season.

[Des Little]

One thing is for certain - they値l be more worried about playing us than vice versa. We値l beat them.

Boring draw isn't it.

Their fixture list looks horrific around the tie, forget they've got the two legged League Cup semi as well.

And if they end up in the UCL playoffs they値l have the first leg the following midweek after the cup tie. Brutal scheduling.

It really does. In the six weeks from the end of January to the middle of March they have:

Villa home and away
Liverpool away
PSG away
Spurs away
Chelsea away
Man City away
And home respite again Man Utd, Brentford and Everton

That's not pleasant for a squad as thin as theirs.

Do we know when the tv games are announced ?
I知 assuming we will be any time other than the Saturday 3pm ?

Feels a bit of a role reversal from when they came here and won a couple of seasons back at probably our lowest ebb of the season.

[Dave]

Hopefully. Let's see how the next few weeks pan out for each of us first though!

[aj2k77]

Knock them out, draw Arsenal in the last 16 knock them out, Man City last 8 and knock them out, Chelsea last 4 knock them out. Red scouse final, do a number on them.

Greatest FA Cup win ever.

More likely to lose to somebody dire in the final!

At least we're in Birmingham for about 5 weeks and the West Midlands in general with the Dingles away.

From memory from last year. I think it痴 the Friday after the draw.

[cdbearsfan]

Given that Newcastle could be playing as early as Tuesday the following midweek, and they also play the previous Wednesday, I think our game should be on the Saturday.
