    FA Cup 3rd Round Draw

    Away at Reading. Obviously would have preferred a home tie but a winnable game. Incidentally the FA Cup numbered balls for Burnley, Aston Villa and West Ham were drawn consecutively. Claret and Blue glue?

    I saw us draw 1-1 at Reading in a 4th Round game on Saturday 30th January 1965, I can always remember the date because I saw Winston Churchill's Funeral Train pass through Reading station just after we arrived there. We won the replay at Turf Moor on the Tuesday night 1-0. United knocked us out in the next round at Old Trafford 2-1, I can remember nothing of that game, so maybe I was working that day and couldn't get there.

    I enjoy watching live footie and that includes some of the lower echelon teams being featured on the BBC on their way to the third round and beyond. As a Burnley fan of a certain age we haven't had much joy in the FA Cup or League Cup, the debacle at Hillsborough being the highlight of my life. We could have been contenders ma!

    I think BT it?s a distraction for us - our available fit players in a busy schedule isn?t good enough to add fixtures to at the moment and it?s just game that gets in the way of the ultimate goal.

    With absolutely crucial home games coming up against Sunderland and Leeds (with the long trip to Argyle sandwiched in between) I am sure SP will be resting a large chunk of his regular starters for the trip to the wonderfully named Select Car Leasing Stadium in Reading.

    How about Bash and Foster up front and put Tresor on the bench but don't use him.
