Deja vu - 1966 - we beat Forest at home in the FA Cup - we went to Stamford Bridge in the cup and took them to a replay - then we won the World Cup - you heard it here first
Pity Southport were not in tonight's draw - that would have completed the chain if we'd drawn them in the 5th at home :emoticon-0100-smile
Suppose if we'd drawn Southampton at home tonight it would have reflected a bit more symmetry with '66 ! Followed by Chelsea in the 6th. Great memories. Not sure about England's chances mind :emoticon-0107-sweat

I was going to ask you the same.

I really don’t understand your point when you say they can’t recall them after January.

You first mentioned them being recalled. Why you thought it relevant I don’t know. They have two days remaining to recall them. After that they can’t be recalled.

Yep, that was precisely what I meant and what I said when I stated that ‘they can recall them tomorrow if they want’.

Really not quite sure why we’ve just had these last few posts since then.
 
When City were in the 5th round of the FAC in '65-'66, 9 of the 20 teams in tonight's draw were also in it ! 2 of the 9 need to win replay's ( 'Udders & Spurs).

Slight tack to port here but is Charles Eckberg ( sp) still alive? He was the old bugger who used to report from Blundell Park on Blunderside a good few years back?
