Would like a home draw again but the odds will be stacked against us....perhaps Spurs or Brentford both new grounds away...not Ccfc or Wrexham thank you as the media is CCFC and Wrexham centric and bias towards them...
Just want a home tie. I’d like to keep the cup run going so Grimsby or Cardiff would be the easiest. However a more glamorous tie would be nice, just don’t want Spurs. We never beat them.
Swanitalian means the match referred to in Roger Evans’ Swans anthem: Tottenham 1 Swansea City 3 League Cup second round replay - Wednesday, 6 September 1978 The Swans caused a cup upset at White Hart Lane as they dumped First Division Spurs out of the League Cup. Following a 2-2 draw at the Vetch Field a week earlier, a replay was required to see who would progress to the third round. Swansea led 2-0 in the original fixture, courtesy of goals from Robbie James and Jeremy Charles, but favourites Spurs roared back to earn a replay thanks to strikes from Glenn Hoddle and Gerry Armstrong. Spurs were fully expected to win the replay in North London, but it was the visitors who again raced into a two-goal lead. John Toshack headed in a Nigel Stevenson corner to give the Swans the lead, before Jeremy Charles converted a fine cross from Danny Bartley to make it 2-0 at the the break. The returning Ossie Ardiles linked up well to set up Ricky Villa to tap home to halve the deficit midway through the second half to set up a tense finale. But it was Swansea who had the final say as Tommy Smith's free-kick was flicked on by Alan Waddle and Alan Curtis slotted home to send the visitors into round three. SPURS: Daines, Naylor, McAllister, Perryman, Ardiles, Taylor, Hoddle, McNab, Villa, Armstrong, Duncan. SWANS: Crudginton, Evans, Bartley, Smith, Bruton, Stevenson, Charles, James, Waddle, Toshack, Curtis. Attendance: 33,672

I also understand that this is the first time ever that there have been 3 Welsh teams in the 4th Round
We played really well last time we played them in a cup tie even a fanatical Man City fan who I used to work with admitted that we were robbed. Can we do it this time.
