No, I wanted Maidstone as I want to progressI guess we were the same the same hoping for Man City.

Yes please, would definitely have preferred a battering at the Etihad rather than an almost certain home win against a non-league team for a place in the quarters.I guess we were the same the same hoping for Man City.
Do they have thumbs?
He's a stoned fan from Herne BayWow. I'm a Stones fan in Herne Bay.
I would have been happy with a side below the Championship or a top Prem side. With the 3 that were remaining I expected Luton. That would have been a poor draw.I guess we were the same the same hoping for Man City.
I don’t think the ones you’ve won really count in the big boys world of football.
Wiki has you down as having won the
Fourth division play-off winners, does that get a trophy?
EFL trophy.
Third division winners.
Seeing as many of you don’t think the League Cup is a proper trophy I reckon you’re pushing your luck claiming three.
We have two proper Wembley wins since 2017.
The usual shite trying to wax lyrical about how important and great Leicester is.
If a bloke walked into a pub and shouted how good looking they were and how much money they’ve got, everyone would think what a bellend and assume the opposite. The same applies with you here.
You’ve had an account on a ‘not rivals’ fans forum for over ten years, you’re desperate to stress your own importance and how wonderful your sweatshop ridden city is. I hope all of this has helped to overcome your imposter/little dick syndrome.
What time will you be at the Wheatsheaf on Saturday? I’m sure you’ll be in early to tell us all how significant and wonderful Leicester is.
Most clubs in Kent don't like us. We are seen as a bit BBB. I can fully appreciate why Dartford don't like us. Gillingham and Tonbridge are rivalry things. Don't understand why Herne Bay dislike us so much. Still, even their most ardent supporter shook my hand and said well done on Saturday.No love lost between HB and Maidstone, I'm lead to believe!!
It's a bit sad that us non-leaguers are having to help you out with your noisy neighboursGod, it's bad enough on here with regulars arguing and now we've got Leics/Maidstone at it...
Sad you can't leave the shire in weekdays.
Exactly who genuinely would turn down Blackburn at home in the quarters and winner goes to Wembley?Why on earth would we want Manchester City when Maidstone were still in the draw? Progress as far as we can through the competition and take on the billionaire clubs when we’ve got no other option.
I would have been happy with a side below the Championship or a top Prem side. With the 3 that were remaining I expected Luton. That would have been a poor draw.
Maidstone had the chance of 2 Prem sides or us. We were most probably their worst draw out of the 3 remaining sides.
The reason HB dislike you is some years back we played you in a pre-season friendly at your place. Something happened during the game(don't know what) after the game someone turned the hot water off and our players had to shower or bath in cold water. It all stems from that.Most clubs in Kent don't like us. We are seen as a bit BBB. I can fully appreciate why Dartford don't like us. Gillingham and Tonbridge are rivalry things.

I'm hoping the game is on Tuesday, as I have much less to swap around. Monday or Wednesday is more difficult. Swap it about I shall though.
Coventry or sheff weds its another great game for us. Once we would have been really excited to play at Aldershot. Now there is a little bit of disappointment at going to a 30k plus ground. Quite silly really. We got a real buzz out of going to Ipswich and we made a real occasion of it (even jumping off roofs). We will enjoy it again whichever ground we are off to.
After that....its off to worry about the next round. Those prem sides -scared as they are - can't avoid us forever
They wanted Man City away and were a little disappointed it didn't happen.
It was no more than that.
It wasn't "disrespect", nor was it a dig at us or Sheff Weds (nor indeed Luton either).
I need a bigger net.
Ooh you’re so tough.
Does your mum know you act up when you’re of her sight?
They already beat Ipswich who are above us.Agreed on Man City, but I'm pretty sure they would rather play at the CBS or Hillsborough than Kenilworth Road.

Better to beat/lose to a Prem side than a Championship side.
No we didn’t, never been lower than the third level and just for the one season.You should know your shower of shit won a '4th division' one too
Seems much worse than the last time we were down here, not many decent strikers for a start.It's going to be interesting in a way.
Miss one promotion back up and the trouble starts. High wage bill and the parachute payments get lower. Doesn't take much to become an also ran in the Championship.
Take next season for an example. Southampton, Leeds and us. All good sides in the Championship. If we don't go up this season we will hit the ground running next season. It's possible that all 3 of us will still be in the Championship next season. 3 sides come down that lose their best players. The Championship seems to get more stronger teams each season.
I've never seen the appeal of many wanting specifically an away game at Man City (or Chelsea, Man U, whoever is the dominant team that particular year), as it's 99% guarantee of just getting flattened and embarrassed.
I've heard the usual explanations ('great' away day fun, the money, better to get beat go home focus on the league). Just still don't "get it"
If that's the case why have you been so poor against the teams near the top?Seems much worse than the last time we were down here, not many decent strikers for a start.
Who said struggling?Tbf they're pissing the league by 7 points, i don't think they're struggling, any club can have a blip. Look at the start to our season.... we'll have a bad spell between now and end of season.
There was a cup game at the Gallagher a few years back when a 16 year old keeper got a ludicrous amount of abuse. TBH we got sick of the 3 people doing it and started singing songs at them. It was embarrassing. Even now you will hear Stones fans shout "keepAHHH" at opposing goalies. It is direct reference to that night. Don't know anything about water.The reason HB dislike you is some years back we played you in a pre-season friendly at your place.

Enjoy other big day out. Who ever you play. Hope its Coventry. But both teams have had illustrious past. And I don't think either team will make the same mistake that Ipswich made. They will take the tie very seriously. And I feel you may get a spanking. But it's the FA cup and anything can happen. Good luck in the league. And who knows you may one day make your way up through the leagues.
Please feel free to pop into the Copper Pottle Beltinge, for a light ale
You can't see the appeal of getting flattened at Anfield etc because you are not a non-league fan who will never see their team go thereFor us i'd agree entirely.
For Maidstone, i can see the appeal.
Indeed. Nobody wants to go to Luton. I'd see that as playing an equivalent teamAgreed on Man City, but I'm pretty sure they would rather play at the CBS or Hillsborough than Kenilworth Road.

Who said struggling?
But next season is a different matter. They have a poor record against the top sides in the Championship. Would you say the top sides in the Championship would be on a par with Premier sides?
So you agree but disagree.They've only dropped 18pts all season (now 10pts clear btw)
Their record is not poor by any intepretation. They clearly aren't quite good enough for the premier league, which is why they went down last year. They've got more points already than we got in all of last season.... they're clearly the best team in the divison, so on paper they've as good a chance of any of staying up next year.
Not that it works like that anyway.... look at Luton, they're making the best fist of it out of the promoted sides, and who would've put their money on that.
