[Albion] FA Cup fifth round - who do you want?

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Stoke play Millwall on the Saturday so I doubt it

Which could easily move to Friday night

 

[Mr deez]

Disappointing to be away.
And exactly the type of outfit to try and low block us so it could get frustrating.
Also not many opportunities for prem teams to KO each other in the draw.
Not a lot to like all in all, but if we win, who cares.

It’s winnable stoke nothing special

Stoke

Stoke, allmost as much of an anti climax as Middlesbrough

 

[Guinness Boy]

Currently googling “cheap hotels in Stoke”. The Pig and Whistle hasn’t come up yet.

Given we’ve now had Boro, Liverpool and Stoke we need to bet big on the winner of Grimsby v Luton getting through as that’s nailed on for the quarters.

Could be the Nathan Jones derby in the next round

Oh lord!

The Wednesday is the default/designated night for the next round. Could be moved though, for sure.

Oh really.. well that's shit!

 

[Monkey Man]

Don't mind Stoke really. Chance to play a team we haven't met for a while, our away form is brilliant, and I suspect they'll want to come at us rather than sit back all game, which would suit us fine.

Not really sure what the standard is like in the Championship but I suspect it's not much different to when we were there. Some decent players, some physical players, but by and large defenders that are in the second tier for a reason.

Has our route to Wembley been based on that ‘Crap Towns of England’ book?

That looked a tougher draw and that worked out very nicely

Could we get Ostigaard ('[not good enough for Stoke') and Sima ('send him back to Brighton') back in our team for the day - just for the devilment, like?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Replays in the next round or straight to ET and penalties?

Every single one! Who visits Stoke midweek in February

Also absolute knuckle dragger fans. Keep your scarves in your pockets until you get into the ground.

We literally just played one of the best championship teams and fooking battered them

ET then penalties

 

[AnotherArch]

Oh I hope it’s raining and on a Tuesday night when we play them, just for the full experience.

Brilliant

Don't forget the wind. The way it whips in from that open corner next to our terrace. While the Delilah singers are comparatively warm and cosy.

Yeah, and I don't think RDZ will field a weakened team.

Who knew the Charlton debacle would be a good thing in the long run?
