Could be a weird atmosphere this , Sunday 2pm, playing a team most expect to beat at home but who won’t make it easy, just a few days after the high of Tuesday .Hopefully it’s not flat .

Whichever way it’s done people are going to be pissed off, no fair way of doing it really .

I think a fair way to do it would be season ticket holders than have been to the most games for the cup run. 1 point for each game you have been to. Looks like that’s what Liverpool did last season , if you had a season ticket and had been to at least 3 of the cup games you were guaranteed a cup final ticket .

Think the problem will be is that we will get less tickets than season ticket holders, Liverpool and Chelsea got 33k each last year and it looks like with Liverpool for example 74% of them went to general support with the rest going to hospitality and commercial stuff, that's only 24k going to supporters and we have a lot more season ticket holders than that.

If we get to the final is it likely to be one ticket per season ticket holder or per name? Have two season tickets both in the same name that's all.

I agree purchase history should come into it for this seasons carabao cup, although would imagine most season ticket holders have either been or given a ticket to someone else to use so not sure it would make that much of a difference.

I agree season ticket holder priority is the fair way to do it, although looks like Chelsea and Liverpool got 33k each last year and we probably have more season ticket holders than 33k.

No idea, don't follow other clubs ticket allocation and I was only 16 last time we got to Wembley.

Wonder what the club will do should we get to Wembley , will season ticket holders get priority ?

All I ask for the semi draw is we avoid Man City, nothing to split us and Man United, could come down to the atmosphere in each home game and we know ours will be far better than theirs would be.

Feel strangely confident about this Match, Leicester are a mess this season and we should beat them comfortably really.

The way they are going on about our loss it seems yesterday was their best day of the season so far.

Have to admit that result hardly bothers me at all, we don’t have the squad for a sustained top 4 push and two cup runs . I wouldn’t have even played Botman or Joelinton . Leicester our biggest game in years.

Where does he go in the premier though ? Not good enough for a top 6 club , next best option be someone like Brighton or Villa? He Dosnt fit Brighton’s style of plays and can’t see Emery wanting him either , not got many options. Be a lower end team and he will not want to do that.

If it’s true then get rid of him. Although To be fair you would be pretty pissed for it you are Maxi and you see Jacob Murphy getting picked ahead of you.

Thought we were poor against Wolves as well and it took a Maxi wonder goal to save us, that performance has looked stranger and stranger the longer the season has gone on as well.

Them players were already at the club , Bellamy was young and had a lot of potential. We shouldn’t be buying reserves from the team we are competing with for 4th, especially one who will cost like 40 million and isn’t very good anyway.

This is the least I have cared about a game since the Bruce days , top 4 race and league cup far more important and we don’t have the squad to cope with all three, play the reserves and kids.

If McTominay isn't good enough for Man United then he isn't good enough for us, that's the level we are at now.

We have pretty much been in champions league form for the best part of a year now, I see no reason why that would end all of a sudden, Liverpool and Man United are the ones we need to worry about, if we finish above one of them we will be in the top 4 no doubt about it. Chelsea aren't making up ten points on us, they have two games in hand but they are against Liverpool and Man City, Spurs are shot to bits.

No pressure on us at all tonight in the slightest, its basically a free hit, get this game out the way then we only have City and Chelsea left to play away of the other contenders.

Arsenal is a weird one , looking at them I don’t think they are anywhere near as good as the league table suggests and expect them to fall away at any moment , then again that’s probably what everyone thinks about us.

The stand up if you love the toon is by far the worst chant and pointless , everyone their loves the toon so why do you have to stand up to prove it .

How many season ticket holders do we roughly have does anyone know ?

Man City and Liverpool are the obvious ones that will likely overtake us, after that though I see nothing to fear from Spurs and Chelsea. Not worked Man United out yet but they don’t have a decent centre forward and don’t look like buying one now either which is mental when you consider the amount of money they have spent. They also have a very similar points tally to what they did at this stage last season so haven’t exactly improved. I am starting to think 5th is the absolute lowest we will finish.
