    Yes if you win your replay.

    Only because it will be a classic FA Cup tie with whichever TV station broadcasts it wetting their knickers over 1973.

    Bring it on.

    We'll be playing Fulham mate.

    And that will be the end of our glorious Cup run.

    Not that Fulham are better than us it's just the Leeds way that's all.

    I was sad Liverpool got knocked out - I would've liked them in the final and us to avenge 1965

    Now we cannot avenge 1973, at least not this year. I was at Wembley that year and the 1-0 defeat was the worst experience at a sporting event.

    I thought you didn't want a cup run in case it affects our Premier league survival ?

    Yes sure we are getting good draws for once in a cup competition , all 3 draws have been away from home but at mediocre sides , bring it on let's slaughter Sunderland revenge for that 1973 embarrassment but we did try our best hit the post twice and the crossbar ,even if fulham win I fancy our chances to progress into quarter finals of FA CUP

    Would love it if it was you guys, just to see Roger tie himself in knots on the match thread.

    I'm not being funny mate, but that's also what you are.

    Its going to be tough against Fulham, tbh. Stewart and Evans our experienced players are out so the age of our team will average 19/20.

    I wasn't born in 73 but apparently your over confidence and disrespect for your opponents was your undoing. Serves you right if that was the case.

    I didn't, but I wasn't expecting to see any new signings last month and thought the rest of this season would be a repeat of last season and a grim relegation battle.

    But it would appear that the SF 49ers have funded a spectacular (by our standards at least) January transfer window and I'm genuinely hopeful that our Prem form will start to dramatically improve.

    On top of that, despite another three away ties, we're in the 5th round with a good chance of going through to the quarter finals (and who knows after then?).

    That said, winning the FA Cup still comes a very poor second choice to Premiership survival.

    Yes, we haven't been to an FA Cup final for 50 years....

    Most Leeds Utd fans weren't even alive then.

    Fair enough, glad that the transfer activity has made you look towards a more positive cup run.

    Sniffers been out in the sun with too many ladyboys, only messing Sniffer. We were the best team around then and so you're probably right and we maybe were a bit arrogant. I hope you do beat the southern softies and set up a match that the media will be interested in. I'll certainly respect whoever we play. I was 9 when I watched that match and my relatives in East Boldon were only to pleased to remind me of that game. Anyway good luck.<ok>
