A chance of a glamour tie most probably covered by the beeb given this ties history or a winnable game against fellow championship opponent's for a place in the last 8 .
Chelsea for me , it's what the FA cup is all about although that's just my opinion .
Time to give miserable Frank something to be really miserable about.
The FA cup ties now revert to midweek from the fifth round , don't ask because I don't know why .
Now this really does Frankie boy a problem potentially , PL , Champions League coming up on the horizon .
This is potentially a very different beast from the September stroll in the park his strong team enjoyed against Struber's group .
That said it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Luton come through tomorrow , some very capable players have Luton and if they get the first goal I'd back em to see it out .

The way Struber instructed the lads to play out from the back that night hasn't left me even though I fully respect the job he did here last season .Quote:

Absolutely. We can just hurl it aimlessly long instead XDQuote:

I'll niver forget that night Pass as long as I live , I'll swear blind the stands moved with the noise and atmosphere .Quote:

When Oddjob scored I lost it , totally lost it , I was in the west stand lower that night ....totally lost it .
In relatively recent times possibly only the Walsall play off game matches it .
Ain't this a great ride warts n all for what we are in the grand scheme of things ? .
If Chelsea lose tomorrow could be the end of Frank.
But I am hoping we're the ones to do it. Proper payback for September.
I think Chelski will win tomorrow but surely Luton wont make it easy for them.
For me the Fa cup is still a nuisance in the 3rd & 4th rounds, but it then starts to get exciting from the 5th round onwards.
A wunt change it fot world mate. A love emotion both good and bad, it's what life's all abart and follering this club giz thi both in abundance.Quote:
