    Man, we're just a few hours before kickoff. Can't believe nobody started before now.

    The world's oldest cup competition has reached the short strokes. it's not as riveting as it used to be -- 30 years ago pretty much every club's record attendance was for an FA Cup match. Winning the FA Cup used to be more prestigeous than winning the league. Sigh. Them was the days.

    Anyhow, we're up against the Tangerine Dream tomorrow. I wish we'd wear our orange while they wore the tangerine. If it was being played at Boise State, I'D have spent the money to get it televised.

    Don't know what side Jol will send out. I hope that he takes the competition seriously enough to feature a strong XI. I'd put out who we had last week with two exceptions -- Karagounis and Brede need to sit.

    Not on television, so I'll be in the chatroom with Gentleman Jim's dulcet tones in my ears. Hope to see many of you there. HEY! We're undefeated in 2013!!!

    Since winning the Premiership is apparently impossible, isn't this our best chance to win our first major honor? Go for it!

    Totally forgot, will try and swing by the chat. I wish Ian Holloway was still the Tangerine manager, they where a hell of a lot of fun to watch. COYW!!!!

    What a way for Karagounis to get his first goal for the club. It was a volley and a strike rather than a chip, so it didn't exactly echo Dempsey's effort against Juve, but it was from the same spot and ended up in the same spot. Thanks for the GIF, Heather, I can watch that over and over again.

    We'd have to play @ Man U, damn that sucks. We play them at home soon too in EPL.

    REplay is tonight, 3pm ET . I like our chances more now that Blackpool is without their manager, but I still expect it to be close. COYW let's move on to the next round and thump an over confident ManU after we've made some crafty acquisitions in the transfer window, which I know will happen :eek:

    With 2 wins in 15 matches it's hard to be optimistic. The draw doesn't look good if we advance, but a win away from home would be good for the psyche of the squad (which appears very fragile at the moment) and for us fans (which I know is fragile atm).

    Sounded like we played much more aggressively. Berbatov NOT in the game-day squad; perhaps there's a connection there.
