[Sky Blues]

Might as well get this started with some early team news:

Friedel, Bale, Parker, Dempsey, Caulker and Assou-Ekotto will start, according to Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge on Twitter.

Bale. That'll be easy then...

would be great to score early and give the mumbling ,ginger, Mourinho clone, twat a fright

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Be better to score late and go into the hat for the 4th round

 

[Sky Blues]

I see The Mirror put us down for a 3-0 defeat.

I accept a win is a tough ask, but I do fancy us to score at least one...

 

[torchomatic]

I'm hoping for a draw as I always find some hilarity in people suddenly being desperate to go the Ricoh and calling up Bob Brolley "in disgust".

 

[jon92]

Just got to spurs and most cov fans r in a Irish club on a side street

 

[Tomh111]

Got a few quid on Sheffers to score and coventry to win... more in hope than expectation.

I hope so my student loan doesn't go in for a few more days so it could be a nice earner. I don't know why but I have a really good feeling about today, hope I am right.

0-2


That wouldn't be bad scoreline at all I don't think.

Just a half decent effort where we are competitive would be great. I have no good feelings about today at all. I can only see defeat, but that's fine. This is Spurs on their home turf and we are League One.

 

[sw88]

Ladbrokes have McGoldrick first goal at 12/1 :facepalm:

Odds on Leon Clarke getting first goal in a 1-0 win sound tempting though at 225/1........

 

[Otis]

Got to be worth the odd 5 grand on that surely?

 

[crowsnest]

Murphy, Clarke, wood, edge, Adams
Baker, moussa, Jennings, Bailey
Leon Clarke, sheff

 

[crowsnest]

Subs Dunn, Cameron,Christy, Elliot,Thomas, fleck, Barton

 

[shmmeee]

Anything less than 6-1 is an improvement.

 

[sw88]

That's a strong line up Spurs have put out! Bench isnt too bad either!

Still cant bet against City though so ive gone for some silly bets!

 

[shmmeee]

Would like to have seen Fleck ahead of either Sheff or Baker. Neither did particularly well and I think players like him and Barton would do better against a Prem team that gives you more time on the ball. Going to be hard to break down a Prem defence and I'm not sure the running f baker and Sheff will do it.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Strong spurs team. 7 wins away on the trot to aim for though. Pusb

 

[torchomatic]

The FA have just said they are giving us a two goal lead and rush a goalie. We can win this!

 

[torchomatic]

Happy with that. I hope Elliott has a part to play today. He deserves another crack.

Murphy, Clarke, wood, edge, Adams
Baker, moussa, Jennings, Bailey
Leon Clarke, sheff

Totally OT but I wish Wembley Doubles would replace penalty shoot outs.

 

[hopesprings]

You are not wrong there...extremely strong. To be fair if the City put up a reasonable performance against that team we can all look forward to a good second half of the season. With the bench they have as well anything less than a 4 goal hiding will be pretty good. With that squad now I can see them really pushing hard for 3rd place in the premiership, I do hope we do not get hammered.

 

[torchomatic]

Luckily I don't watch any Premiership stuff so I have no idea if their line-up is strong or not. Head in the sand me.

PUSB ringing around White Hart Lane.

 

[spwaverley4916]

strachan has just tipped us to beat spurs - god help us!!!!

 

[Blue Maniac]

Haha Gordon Strachan just picked you as his shock of the day. At least, I think that's what he said.

 

[torchomatic]

I'm at work, can't listen to the radio so I'm relying on you lot as the BBC text is usually at least 8 or 9 minutes behind.

mind you he did mastermind it in 1997 !!

 

[torchomatic]

But not such a mastermind in 2001.

[Sky Blue Pete]

Listening to cwr don't like to normally

 

[torchomatic]

Only 84 minutes to the replay.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]
