[Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

[Man of Harveys]

If it’s on Saturday it’s a goer to drive as it basically takes a day to get there and a day to get back. So Monday night it shall be.

I hope the players don’t feel beat before a ball is kicked like some of you lot.
Last time we beat them and we had no Minteh running at big Dan Burn. Georgie was only finding his feet, Baleba wasn’t quite the beast he is now Welbeck put his back out early doors.
Should be a cracker of a tie looking forward to it.

When do we find out when it's going to be played?

By the end of the working week probably, that was the case for the last round

Virtually 100 percent not to be on the sat as Newcastle play on the previous Wednesday

Justice is a self -styled wind-up merchant. He's just switched to winding up the bedwetters, that's all.

Not so sure, Wednesday-Saturday is the same as Thursday-Sunday which is commonly acceptable, as is Saturday-Tuesday.

When do we find out when it's going to be played?

Might know in 2 or 3 days

I simply can’t deplore all the defeatists.

[Biscuit]

I think we'll beat them. It'll probably go to extra time though.

Then Palace will draw Citeh and knock them out.

It has been foretold.

Just gone back and had a look at the overall draw.. it is crap.

The only two games I'd bother watching would be us at Newcastle and Fulham at United.

The rest look either incredibly one sided or incredibly dull. Good luck BBC/ITV

Hopefully Toon will be gripped with League Cup Final fever. Players won't want to get injured or suspended for what could be their greatest day for half a century.

We can win there, BELIEVE.

Are we taking the full allocation?

PLEASE don't be Friday night, I'm at a wedding!! I reckon it will be the Sunday 2pm

It was crap as a draw. Ie, not obviously exciting games.

It was double crap for us. As hard a tie as we could have had and even if we make it, there's only going to be PL sides waiting for us

Can't be Friday, they are playing the Wednesday before against Liverpool.

Odds on Sunday for me.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

There's a 1983 vibe about this. We beat Newcastle at their place on the way to Wembley, and Norwich (admittedly at The Goldstone and we didn't play Chelsea, but it's all shaping up otherwise. Are Sheffield Wednesday still in it?).

We could get Preston or Burnley. We were favoured the other season when we got Grimsby at home (proof we don't ALWAYS get crap cup draws).

Public transport in this country is a national disgrace. A big part of the issue is that inter city train companies are allowed to use dynamic pricing, this practice should be stopped, there is no justification in it apart from pure profit/greed.

I don't count airlines as public transport.
