Millwall are undoubtedly thinking the same.

We are probably the weakest side, other than Millwall, left in the tournament.

Weaker than 13th in Championship Swansea. Don’t be silly!!

Yeah remember that - they were flinging around a coppers hat which was on fire!!! Strange evening.

Although one of my guiltiest pleasures was watching the North Stand at the Goldstone throwing a coppers helmet around even his colleagues were laughing. Wish I could remember what game that was.

Chanting to the tune of wheres your helmet gone

Which part of "I forgot about Swansea" did you fail to understand?

Its not nice when you win at the Den, the train station set up is a death trap

That's the worst part of the day - South Bermondsey station. The platforms seem very narrow and so high up.

The conversation should turn to how crap West Ham are and their soulless Olympic stadium. :wink:

We've been lucky. Millwall are no pushovers but they are weaker than all the teams we've beaten before in this competition. We won't get a better chance of an FA cup semi final for many years.

If we can pick up a couple of league wins before that, it should reassure Hughton that he can pick our strongest 11.

Bloody hell, can we actually do this?

Durlston! Thanks for your PM. You are most welcome. The palace (lowercase p!) guy was real ok actually. Glad you have recovered.

F*** me, you’re right! I often read the opposition fans’ forums to get a different perspective, but three pages in on their forum and the number of “gay banter” comments is in to double figures. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were witty and original - but the again, no chance.

It's so pathetic and sad but if they were at home to Cardiff, well everyone knows what they'd do. Sick aeroplane gestures. It's going to have to be a thick skin day unfortunately. :down:

Well, being the last three balls to be drawn and 50-50 chance of playing Man Utd, I'll take that.

Dodgy maths. With three balls left, we had a 1 in 3 chance of playing United - only if Millwall were picked out first, from those three balls.

Man City are playing Champions League in the week so they will get the Sunday schedule.
Man Utd can then have the Sat evening which will bring good viewing figures.
The other 2 can fill the Friday & Monday.
As there is a real chance of upset what better way to start with us on the Friday.
Here’s hoping the 15th (Fri) & 18th (Mon) were only there in case other Champions League teams had got this far.
Saturday lunchtime 12:30 maybe with this allowing police to stop the all day drinking of the Everton tie.

I'm no chicken and one way or the other I will go.
League game I would not be slightly bothered but this type of game is exactly when they all come out.
It would be madness to make it an evening game.

Work with a millwall fan and what your saying is very true. Been out with his sarf London mates in Brighton good crew and would cover your back. Face them in a footy match its different they are nuts

I remember that now! In those times things like that really help. Cheers mate. Feel back to normal this week. Can't believe it's almost a fortnight ago. The time has gone so quickly.

Thanks for your best wishes. :thumbsup:

Millwall have a game on the 13th March so will not play on the Friday.
