Fa cup third round

Blooming heck, you're right!

We play on the 7th and then the 20th. That’s not a two week break.

2 weeks-ish.

If we draw with Blackpool, when’s the replay?

Unusual description of Greece.

Better do better (or worse) than ‘Pool then. The break
is baked in, if it’s a good idea or not.

Looks like from next year they will be scrapping 3rd rd onwards replays.

I’m sure Jordan Rhodes is looking forward to giving our players their full winter break.

Is this the match thread? I guess it probably is.

I don't mind a Cup run this year, it's probably quite useful for Nuno to get a look at a few players this weekend. Annoyingly there's no way of actually watching the game legally in Canada, so I guess I'll be finding a pirate feed - ESPN has the game.

I beleive this is now official, unless Blackpoo return any tickets. IngoInfo.

Not sure if the AFCON players have gone yet but can't see them being picked anyway, so it's a trade-off between Nuno wanting to see more players and using the game to further establish his style.

Vlachodimos - Montiel, Worrall (Omobamadele, if Worrall is definitely getting the chop), Murillo, Toffolo - Danilo, Yates - Origi, MGW, CHO - Wood.

Put some kids on the bench and give them a run if the game is safe.

I would think Felipe will get some game time given he's probably one of the AFCON covers.

Surely MGW gets a rest, he looked dead on his feet towards the end of the last few games

I'm assuming he's finished at this level. Don't think he's made the bench since the Fulham disaster.

Maybe - he always looks like that at the end of games though and he said it was just a dead leg v United. And we don't play again until the 20th.

They have -
Last tickets go on general sale, adults only at 4pm this afternoon.
