Isn’t it straight to penalties at 90 mins?

You’d expect 5 or 6 to play

Win this and they're through to the QFs.

Parkinson will have fond memories of this cup from his time at Bradford.

I'd imagine he'll look at fielding a strong lineup based on players which are available - although he's got a mounting injury list.

Looks like Lewis Brunt will be out long-term to add to their defensive issues.

Of course we are. We're top of the table and flying. But imagine without Birmingham and Wrexham taking up a lot of their time and effort looking for something to take up column space.

Wrexham will a) Fancy a cup run b) Not want to lose to a Welsh rival, so I can see them going pretty strong of this

A cup run might be the only half decent story line they have this year. Hard to spin much of a story from spend a fortune and finish lower midtable.

Didn't Stockport County traditionally play their home games on Friday evening back in the day so the locals could go and watch one or the other Manx teams on Saturday?

We used to play our home games under Jimmy Hill on a Saturday at 3:15. Getting ready for Sunderland.

Can someone please explain to me how I can watch this game on my phone in Portugal?

I have a Sky Sports subscription, but presumably I won’t be able to watch it on the app without some technical wizardry?

Appreciate any help - imagine you’re pitching your advice to a 4-year-old.

Yep, reckon they will go all out for it, then moan about having to play Friday (like we did after a Wednesday match).

That was to enable the many factory workers around the city and surrounding areas that had to work on Saturday mornings a little more time to get to the match.

Yes, and he was taken off yesterday cos he'd been booked again and, i think, FL didnt want to risk him getting a second yellow

Think it was more to get KKH some sharpness in that position. Even when he’s come on he’s mostly been deployed higher up

To be fair mate, I went to São Paulo in the summer and went to the favelas. Most of the local kids playing football there were wearing Wrexham Tops with the likes of Hyam and Matty James on the back of their shirts.

Spoke to a few of them and they all said they want to be the next Paul Mullin.

That's not new. I worked in Sao Paulo for a while around 2010. It was all Wrexham then too.

I think we need a song about Spider-Man and how he's way better than Deadpool!!!

Also, i fucking HATE Cardiff, however, i hope they spank them 4-0 tonight and properly knock their confidence and hopefully crock a few players and get Hyam sent off. Not asking for much really!

Ive been waiting for these for a bit of payback after they give it the big one beating us in the FA cup, not sure many of the players are left Bidwell and Allen maybe. Really hope we beat them.,

That's genuinely awful and would probably lead to our supporters getting attacked for singing it, with some justification!

I mean also in power set he’s closer to Wolverine so doesn’t even work according to the lore.

I'm pretty sure that Wrexham will be more worried about how they stop us scoring while trying to score themselves.Apart from we have to lose at some point not expecting anything else than a win.Lets keep this run going as long as possible.But sky will be licking their ass if they manage to beat us.

Should free up a few tickets in the away end as some will go across to the home stand now.

Their players are just so middling. The squad just looks more average the more I look at it. I'm surprised O'Brien has been dropped to the bench for their recent league games, would have thought he'd be the first name on the team sheet.
