Wanderingred Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I was one of the unfortunate souls who watched the horror show against Lincoln, so I’m hesitant to say Stevenage or Fleetwood… We’d probably find a way to slip up. What might work well would be home to somebody like Southampton or Leicester, struggling top flight sides, low on confidence that would not relish a trip to Ashton Gate. I hope we don’t draw a big team. It’s about time we finally made a quarter final in my lifetime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, without doing much checking, I’d say out of all the teams that have been around in that time, Spurs are the team we’ve played least in the last 50 years. Just the 6 league games v Spurs as they were relegated for one of the seasons we were in the top flight. We did play them in the 2 leg league cup semi final but that was over 50 years ago now. Neighbours Arsenal are just behind on 8 league games, all in the top flight. We of course did the double over both in our first season in division one.
