Apart from our game a really shit draw.

Rex

Tough draw for us. At least it is a home game. This is sandwiched between which games for us?

Timbob

We're not getting anything easy in the cups this year are we?

lorddulaarsenal

Just seen this.

Lol let Zelalem at them

Klaus

Everyone got a walk in the park this round except us.

QuincyAbeyie

Including us.

Timbob

As usual, things are always worse for Spurs though.

Alfonso

Spurs wil prob have Capital One Cup Semi finals games in and around this FA Cup tie which is obviously a good thing for us.

Biggus

Can't wait for this, another chapter in our role as their tormentors.

Volante

Newcastle A, 3 days rest, Cardiff H, 3 days rest, Spurs H in the Cup, 9 days rest, Aston Villa A.

Should rotate a bit for Cardiff. Obviously the league is the priority but we need to capitalize on any opportunity to freshen things up and we aren't going to get an easier fixture than Cardiff at home. Need a strong side out for Spurs in the Cup. Spurs play United A on New Years day, just days before our FA Cup tie. Depending on how that goes and how they manage their squad, we may put on a little show against them at Emirates.

Needed its own thread.

Michael Owens voice is terrible. He's ruining an otherwise decent match here.

Qwiss

There should be 10 minutes added at the end to make up for the time wasting on throws.

ITV has our game, but who is showing the other games today? Sky I presume?

EDIT: BT has the City game, ITV has our game, BBC and Sky have nothing. Disappointing, wanted to watch one of the 15:00 games on the telly.

Volante

Berbatov not in Fulham's squad...
