Beat you lyndhurst by a minute........poor draw for us ........no money in it with their crowds......disappointing really. Watched Chadwick on TV.......lasted 60 minutes........not seen at all in game........typical.
General opinion seems to suggest that it would of been hard to have chosen a worse draw. Game could be moved from Saturday....because Stoke are playing at home the same day.
I just knew it and at least got the starting letter right. It begins with P. Somebody needs to almalgamate the two threads I think.
My fault for being 1 minute slower to post than plym- if i knew how to delete the other thread i would....?
See all you need is a woman and everything is put right in a jiffy. Be honest everyone, this is the sort of tie we all expected Argyle to get wasn't it. Hoped and prayed it would be something else but deep down just knew it was going to be this. There are numerous ties alll premiership or premiership v Championship. Typical when the person overseeing the draw says whoopee to Arsenal V Spurs. IT ISN'T WHAT THE CUP IS ABOUT YOU DIVVIES IT'S ABOUT DREAMS AND GIANT KILLING.
Your right sensible about the cup being where the smaller clubs can dream of giantkilling and the fans visiting grounds that they never would in a league season. Arsenal v Spurs happens twice a year anyrate......the only difference this game will bring is that they will not be playing reserves in their team because of lesser opposition this time. Annoying for the fans of lower league clubs to see their team treated with a lack of respect by playing against reserves, not the stars that they see on the telly each week. Also a lack of respect for the FA Cup competition as well. Port Vale doesn't get the taste buds going I know......but Argyle might play well enough to draw and maybe win a replay.....we just need to keep dreaming that we might get a big-un in the 4th round.
See Vale doing ok and just outside a playoff place but form and close league status usually goes out the window in cup games as we all know....no reason whatsoever why we cannot get a result against them....as Plym said it's up to the players to pull their fingers out and realize the cash value of a plum fourth round away tie....seems pointless wishing for a plum home tie these days with our current capacity. Got a feeling we will do very well there....
Well I've decided to go anyway mainly because a) i haven't been there before b) its Christmas and c) i kind of alluded to my son that we would follow the greens to the end of this year's FA cup dream-not exactly an exciting day out at a top club but who cares, its a day out anyway and at least we can say 'we were there when.....' Thanks for the merge GAT.
