FA Cup draw

[PGFWhite]

Saw this link on Twitter. The atmosphere at the Vetch that night was great especially when that goal went in. Harry Redknapp looked as though he had just eaten some Wallaby penis

That was a strong West ham side. Some great scenes at the final whistle - and what an atmosphere!

I was there on the Northbank and the team battled and battled. Freestone still my favorite keeper was outstanding all game. Thomo's Goal was a beat as it curled away from the keepers hands......The team that night deserved that win.........PS I'm sure Hartson punch the air when we won.....

Home to Doncaster or Wimbledon will be the favoured draw for most teams.
Worst would be away to Man City for any team hoping to progress.
I'd like another home tie please.......

 

[swanseaandproud]

Very happy with the draw.

Few more PL teams to be knocked out and it could be an unfancied team in the final...........

Good showing from Barnet but I fear they may have missed their opportunity but it's the cup so who knows. A replay is good news for us with a relatively short period of time till the next round.

 

[trundles left foot]

great to have a cup run, but just a few more bucks for those money grabbing ****ers to take.

 

[glamexile]

Newport 2-0 up with 20 mins to go

Looks like we will be playing Brentford who are also 2-0 up

I remember being in Somerton Park on 9th January 1979 when County beat West Ham 2-1. I was in Cardiff Uni and went across with a few lads.

I’ve still got the match programme. It’s dated 6 January - but the match was postponed on the Saturday and played the following Tuesday evening.

The West Ham team that night was:

Starting lineup:
Mervyn Day
John McDowell
Paul Brush
Alvin Martin
Billy Bonds
Frank Lampard (Snr)
Trevor Brooking
Alan Devonshire
David Cross
Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson
Alan Taylor

Not a bad side that!
