REDOXO Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 2 hours ago, ralphindevon said: 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. Long overdue a meeting with both, maybe save it for the semis at Wembley…..or the final. Spurs broke my heart in 71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever happens a good run in the cup is great but the league is more important. I would make Brighton favourites against Liverpool. They smashed them 3-0 in the league two weeks ago and are above them in the table. They could even be dark horses to win the cup, given their record against the top sides. I definitely fancy Stevenage to win at Stoke as well. Edited January 29, 2023 by Wanderingred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says Wednesday 1st March, but I guess it's likely to be spread over two nights. I think more likely three nights. Games will be played on the Thursday as well in order to maximise TV coverage and league games played on the Sunday. Having said that, I’d be confident we’d be Tues/Weds due to the logistics of Cardiff policing. As for who I want? Man City. I want Scott to play against them so Pep can see him up close. He’d be brilliant in that side and it’s not fanciful to suggest he could be at that level if not now in the near future. There isn’t a better boss for him to learn from, and it also ensures maximum cash for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
