...oh, brilliant. A trip to Stamford Bridge. I suppose the dreamed-of home game against Plymouth was never going to happen. In a way it's good for the cup that Plymouth and Watford got each other, but why oh, why could not Arsenal and Chelsea have played it out at this stage? A lot more fun for everyone else. IS the draw fixed?
So, we're up against Blue opposition - remind me, when did Chelsea actually lose a game at Stamford Bridge last time? Based on the evidence of yesterday, of course, I would like to be happily optimistic - and we have after all beaten Chelsea once this season. (Remember, remember the fifth of November!) But somehow it seems that a draw at the Bridge, followed by a narrow win at the Lane is the very best scenario we can realistically expect. And in view of all the other games that have to be played, as well as the fact that beating Chelsea would probably only yield another horrid cup semi-final against Arsenal, it looks somewhat bleak.
Oh, nevermind. Let's bring out the war paint and stay positive - just like yesterday. We CAN beat anybody on our day. Come on you Spurs!
Full draw:
Middlesbrough or West Brom v. Manchester United or Reading
Arsenal or Blackburn v Manchester City
Chelsea v Tottenham
Plymouth v Watford
