Our odds to win the FA Cup aren’t massively different to our odds to win the Carabao :lol:

We're second-favourites for the Cup and we haven't even had the 5th Round draw yet.

 

I feel light-headed :)

 

Seeing NUFC win the FA Cup is the only dream I can remember having from the age of about 5 which I still have now - unless steam trains make a comeback and they let me drive one.

Same. 1974, as a 10 year old, traumatised me and I don't mean the all day TV coverage led by Jimmy Saville 😂

Indeed 😂

 

Back in the day when we only had 3 channels, and they all shut down in the afternoon, FA Cup Final Saturday was immense 😂😂


Some of my best early football memories were cup final Saturdays, with a normal kick off time.

 

Awaiting the suits which had been chosen, Liverpool 96 causing a stir.

It's a bit frightening to think that I'd absolutely fancy us against any of the remaining sides. 

 

If we get a real slice of luck, City will be knocked out and then we are favourites.

Because Liverpool and Arsenal have been knocked out. They would normally be the biggest obstacles alongside Man City.

 

Tbh, winning the FA Cup almost feels more doable than winning the Carabao Cup final even though that sounds crazy. We just never seem to beat Liverpool.

Maybe the route to ending the hoodoo is a sympathetic semi draw at Wembley giving us a chance to get off the mark there, as much as I'd rather it was at a Villa park/Hillsborough etc, then we may have the beleif in the final.

Would love Man Utd at home. That’s the dream tie for me. 

 

A good one would be anyone else at home.

 

An annoying one would be Man City / Villa / Brighton / Bournemouth away.

 

A shit one would be Palace / Forest / Wolves away. Games where we should be winning but 5% levels down with eye on league cup final following week, it’s an easy defeat.

If Villa beats city...we might just go on to win this.

 

They aren't facing each other though (well there is a slight chance but won't know that until later)

 

I actually think a home draw against someone like Villa/City/Man U would be best
