Crabbycanary3 994 Posted December 4, 2017 Why do I have an overwhelming feeling that Hoddle is going to draw a Prem team at their home, for our game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 547 Posted December 4, 2017 A nice money earner and we have avoided humiliation at the hands on Manchester City. Hopefully the Pensioners won''t score more than 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 4, 2017 I suppose the good thing about the FA Cup is that there is a weekend set aside for it. So no excuse for resting players etc. Hopefully they''ll give it a good go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted December 4, 2017 All depends what they charge for me. If its about £25 I will probably go much more and I will give it a miss. Its a shame but much of the magic of the cup has gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,684 Posted December 4, 2017 Home to Chelsea. Oh dear at least we won''t need to worry about scoring. It won''t be expected either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted December 4, 2017 I''ve seen Chelsea a few times under Conte and although I normally have some blind optimism in these games I rate our chances as approximately close to zero, even against their reserves. Shame really, but at least it will be good to see Prem opposition back at CR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew norwichcity 8 Posted December 4, 2017 I find it laughable that on the main page an article is calling the game as ''hitting the jackpot'' and a ''dream home draw''.Literally not one part of me will want to see us lose to them to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ground will be all Chelsea-supporting kids who''ve dragged Mum and Dad down to Carrow Rd. They''ll probably cough up the dosh but it''s gonna need some mega price reductions to get many others through the turnstiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew norwichcity 8 Posted December 4, 2017 I pay £600 for my season ticket so anything over that just to see us lose is pointless. After that Luton loss in the cup I said I''d never bother again as like you said, its a free Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraz 2 Posted December 4, 2017 that''s got to be the worst draw, little chance of winning, they might play the second string, no day out, expensive tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Demeanor 67 Posted December 4, 2017 With the Binners also drawn at home I dare say our game will be moved to the Sunday with a good chance of it being live on BT or BBC. Would that affect the attendance I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted December 4, 2017 Last time it was a great game at Carrow Road but it finished goalless. Only Cudicini kept them in it with some great saves. I remember going to Stamford Bridge for the replay full of hope. I met Claudio Ranieri and told him we''d win. He was a real gent but said we''d had the our chance in the first game and blown it. He was right, we lost 4-0 and Zola scored that wonder goal from a corner.No way am I missing this one[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,572 Posted December 5, 2017 Got me passport at the ready, love the FA Cup and gonna get a ticket for this tie as soon as they''re up for sale.....Wonder if those who are normally apathetic to any cup games are going to sigh and say "oh well got a free Saturday, may as well trundle down to Carra and watch us get a hammerin''"......."Not because it''s Chelsea though"......I Hazard a guess that the tickets won''t come cheap......Check your visa''s an'' passports are in date......As PJ an'' Duncan sang....#"Let''s get ready to Rouble!"#......
