    Olympic Way as it should be called.
    Apparently the original road was built by German prisoners of war.. probably how it lasted so long.

    Odd when you drive over the runway.

    You’re assuming that Brexit will happen.

    I know match-going fans and those on a forum because they've been banned for racism and/hooliganism are different, but it's in stark contrast with the Reading fans when their keeper (Federici I believe) ****ed away their chance at a final. Seem to recall the Madejski was awash with Aussie flags at their next home game. Lessons to be learned in class for sure!

    When is the league game against the Baggies' nearest and dearest? Is it before or after the semi?

    Late April, so after the SF.

    Can't believe the drivel I'm reading across here, their forum and twitter. Saying that this is a great draw as it gives a decent chance of appearing in the final and will be an entertaining game. Yeah, great, the victor gets to spend £160 instead of £80 to see their team get ****ed.

    City competing on three fronts in early April after their players have traversed the globe during the international break will be a far easier hurdle than a City with two weeks to prepare for a potential CL final. We both need Brighton to be on top form.

    I'd have given us both a decent chance against City in the semi but in a final? With a week (or more if they've wrapped up the league early) rest? Minimal chance.

    Both clubs should be annoyed.

    I like the post that we will all be drinking in Watford virtually up to Kick Off.

    Good point & I’m now more annoyed than 30 secs ago.

    Any chance of recalling Ben Watson from his loan for this one?

    I'd have preferred Brighton but we avoided City and their strong squad. A weakened City side will give most Premier League sides a bloody nose.

    Wolves are playing Man Utd on the Tuesday before the SF. Might help our cup and league chances

    Never poo poo the chance of getting to the FA Cup final!, we have only been once and that was 35 years ago in what was a game between two fairly even teams, we played the occasion and were happy to be there seeing how far we had come so quickly, now having consolidated our position over the years we want to not only get there but win the dam thing!

    Whatever happens will stand us in good stead for the next go, which hopefully will not be so long!

    However we have to get there first!

    A weakened, distracted, tired, possibly over confident reserve man city might be beatable. I agree we'd have a better chance in a semi than a final.

    Will be 11 reserves ! Chris Sutton and Paul Merson noting that it was understandable and a very sensible strategy for such an excellent team and management.

    Is he Alvin's son?
    Poor bloke looked shell shocked.
    That will take a lot of sports psyche to recover from.
    Awful error.

    Trying to work out the most likely date for the Watford v Wolves tie. I think it's going to be Sunday 7th April.

    Man City play Spurs in the Champions League on 9th April.
    Wolves play Man Utd in the Premier League on 2nd April.
    Brighton and Watford don't have a fixture from 30th March until 13th April.

    The most logical scenario would be for City to play on the Saturday 6th April, giving them time to recover for the Spurs match, and this would give Wolves one extra day of recovery after their match on Tuesday.

    With that logic there's no way it can be any different really.

    Also, Man City v Brighton on the Sat makes more sense as it's easier to get back to both places on a Saturday rather than a Sunday, whereas both Watford fans and Wolves fans have shorter journeys home to deal with ****** Sunday trains (I know Brighton is closer than Wolves, but Wolves relative to Manchester)

    Possibly. But presumably it would have been announced by now if we were?

    When have the logistical problems of travelling fans ever been a consideration for the league, FA, TV companies etc etc?

    I was just coming back to make that point. Look out for Man City vs Brighton on the Sunday with a 10.45 pm kick off

    Supposed to be today - think UEA said they would announce something after the Palace game.

    Just a few miles south of the town of Foster.

    Can we crowdfund for Luke Golden to live there?

    First of all I thought you meant Alvin Stardust, because that's where he was looking up to when he made the error
