This fella obviously wouldn't swap Parrot for Kane!
'....Fancy us to cause an ‘upset’.
Wont be an upset for me, Conte aside, Spurs are absolutely diabolical.
If I see Kane and Dier on the teamsheet ill bet us to win. Genuinely.
See anyone on the ground giving Kane absolutely loads, you know who it is. Cost England 3 major trophies.
2018 World Cup - Didnt square it to Sterling, missed an open net.
2020 Euros - Bottled a Semi penalty but got a lucky tap in, no showed a final.
2022 World Cup - Skied a penalty at a key point of the game......'

I think Forest gave them red shirts.
So what were they saving them for? Europe, League Cup, oh no not in them. Push for Europe next season? or relegation battle. Makes no sense especially as now have free week. Even so we only played 3 of the same 10 from previous game.

Why do they draw the next round before the 3rd round was even complete?
I get it if it goes to a replay, but why draw the 4th round when only half the games had been played. Specifically, City Chelsea and Oxford Woolwich hadn’t been played yet.
It gives teams an advantage if they know who they will play 2 rounds from now and other teams don’t know. For example, Woolwich may rest their full squad today knowing they’ll have to go to city even if they win. Teams that played Saturday didn’t have this option of knowing who theyd play in a potential 4th rd.
It just doesn’t make sense not to just wait an extra day or two to do the draw.

Yes we also rotated a lot of players. But Villa fielded their best team against us and not against Stevenage. So there is no comparison. Saying....how come Stevenage can beat Villa but we can't or words to that effect is not a true measure.
I agree, but my point perhaps not made well was why did Villa play such a weak team as they do not have any other cup matches and they have suffered for it. When I was growing up the record number of F A Cup matches was held by Villa but they have not won it since.
I did wonder why too. I can only come up with giving fringe players a chance, protecting PL first 11 players from injury and not having much interest in the FA Cup.
What a fucking weirdo
What is a party?
We had one 18 months agoWe are so desperately due a cup final
Pardon the missing FA between “a” and “cup final”
The PNE forum is getting a bit lairy now 
I know they've played a lot of CL football lately but I wouldn't class them as a bigger club than the likes of West Ham, Everton, and Villa personally.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "We've won more league titles than them > we're the bigger club" zinger.
Something we'll have when S** C******* dies

Don't suppose you could remove '3rd round draw' from the title as all FA Cup talk irrespective of year/round is mainly here.
Draw Monday 19:00 on BBC1.
Are at the mercy of TV (again) whether we play on Tuesday or Wednesday, which means that the Chelsea match could be put back to Saturday?
