Tony Stamp!

[AllyouneedisRush]

Take that all day long

[farawayred]

Not a bad draw. and quite a few PL meetings, including Chelsea-Villa and Spurs-Cheats.

[Samie]

[jillcwhomever]

Wigan you mean...

They're not getting past Wigan 

He is in serious trouble, if he doesn't win tonight surely? 

[Samie]

[KevLFC]

They where a bit shite at picking out the balls there! Luckily got a decent draw.

[Redley]

You’d need a heart of stone to not be quite excited at the prospect of Seven Hag losing at Eastleigh

[Kopenhagen]

Spurs beating Abu Dhabi and getting knocked out in the following round, in embarrassing fashion, will suit me just fine.

[Oldmanmick]

Nice 

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Norwich are 13th in the Championship and Bristol Rovers are 10th in the League One.

The replay is at Bristol Rovers.

[DonkeyWan]

He is in serious trouble, if he doesn't win tonight surely? 

Shaun Maloney?

[shank94]

4 all PL ties in the current round, potentially 7 all PL ties in the next one. Great draw

You can see it happening. Pitch will be a bog and ref will let everything go (hopefully).

[Ray K]

Good tie for us.

Great draw for Newport or Eastleigh. Great chance of getting to the 5th round for them.

[farawayred]

Nice 

No, they are not in the draw. It's Norwich or Bristol Rovers.

[farawayred]

Good tie for us.

Great draw for Newport or Eastleigh. Great chance of getting to the 5th round for them.

Dunno. Wigan would be tough to beat.

[Yorkykopite]

Andy from Allerton has had to file away his post ("It's fixed"). In fact it's currently being rented out to Andy from Didsbury.

[killer-heels]

Looking good already for us.

[meady1981]

Ahhhh that takes me back. First ever Liverpool game was against Bristol Rovers in 92. Went to both games. Where did all that time go.

[B0151?]

That's a really great draw to be honest. Off chance that Spurs could do City,  Villa or Chelsea out.

[Boaty McBoatface]

If it's Norwich, it's the Nicky Tanner derby. If it's Rovers...it's the Nicky Tanner derby

[tubby]

Home against lower league opposition, can't really ask for more, and City away to Spurs is the icing on the cake.

Utd going out tonight would be the cherry on top.

[Barneylfc∗]

Last time we played Bristol Rovers (1992) we went on to lift the trophy.

Last time we played Norwich (2022) we went on to lift the trophy.

[Solomon Grundy]

Good draw that.

[alonsoisared]

Funny one for me, had a season ticket at Bristol Rovers when I was a kid. Watch a game or two of theirs a season still when I'm home. A fixture I assumed would never happen...and quite possibly still won't, to be fair

[No666]

Isn't the Norwich manager best mates with Jürgen?

[Hazell]

Utd going out tonight would be the cherry on top.

I know they're huge favourites, regardless of how bad they are, but there's a little part of me which feels that it's just going to happen.

[duvva 💅]

Ahhhh that takes me back. First ever Liverpool game was against Bristol Rovers in 92. Went to both games. Where did all that time go.

McManaman with the winner followed by the windiest 5th round tie at Ipswich a few days later which I was at.

Remind me again,  who won the cup that year?

[farawayred]

Last time we played Bristol Rovers (1992) we went on to lift the trophy.

Last time we played Norwich (2022) we went on to lift the trophy.

Damn... So, what you are saying is that should have been someone else, so we can go on and lift the trophy... 

[jillcwhomever]

Shaun Maloney?

 

[ScubaSteve]

Could clash with Everton’s fixture but otherwise just a satD 3pm kick off for us?

[Mighty_Red]

Good draw, no complaints esp when we get a home draw. We'll be able to give a few of the kids a chance to play and keep the squad fresh, esp with Chelsea a few days later.

[Vegeta]

Hoping Spurs City ends a draw and then spurs do them at the Etihad where they have a decent record.

[So… Howard Philips]

Could clash with Everton’s fixture but otherwise just a satD 3pm kick off for us?

Assuming Everton get past Palace.

[S]

Arsenal gone. Two of City, Spurs, Villa and Chelsea to go. Great draw.

They had a quick lad called Junior Bent, I think, that caused us all sorts of problems. Unless I'm thinking of the hiding Bristol Tits gave us a couple of years later

[AmanShah21]

Can we loan Suarez for the month in case it does end up being Norwich?

Bristol Tits!
