I reckon we're getting Oxford away....

Wolves at home would be good. Could compare how hideously shit they are to how we were.

I got a sense of that - a big but mobile lump up top possibly leans towards Quarshie.

It does in name and memory only. Probably will give a couple of headline David v Goliath ties but the draw is worth missing to avoid seeing old players gurning like imbeciles as they pull the numbers out. Monday lunchtime, behind closed doors, no fawning of ex-players. Job done. Part of the magic was how radios were smuggled into places to hear the draw.

Quite like the Skates at home so we can give them the Tonda treatment. That or the lowest placed team home or away

He did say "for me" - clearly his opinion. Music is so ridiculously subjective. I want to love the Beatles but I think they're shit. Ditto Queen, Oasis, and others. I adore Joy Division, but my missus would prefer to leave the house when I pop Closer on the turntable than hear it. The only facts when it comes to music is commercial success - everything else is opinion.

Thought the same, although might have been wishful thinking that he might not be available for three games. Reminded me a bit of the lunging tackle by Djenepo (?) v Newcastle shortly before lockdown. Looked 50:50 at the match but definitely ‘studs first’ when seeing it back. Perhaps Aribo is fortunate the ref didn’t get called to a screen to watch it again. But - didn’t seem to be too much outrage from Birm.

Courteeners, agreed, superb band. Falcon is one of the best debut albums from an indie band. St Jude is arguably better. They've also done one of the best Christmas songs that nobody knows. Superb live room. They should be big. As decent as Blossoms are, they have gone too poppy for my taste.

Nic was around earlier, but as it is early tomorrow morning in Thailand you'll have to wait for his next visit.

Difficult to tell but looks like his weight is on his right foot possibly trying to see the ball, I agree it was a really good strike and would probably gone in anyway but id like to see him across a yard, from where Gray is shooting then its unlikely to be going near post, strikes from there generally go far post

The 3rd round draw still holds its magic as does the weekend (week?) of the matches. FA and bigger clubs have tried to balls it up but I still love it.

Indeed... If I had a pound for every time someone conflated opinion with 'fact', especially when it comes to tastes in music...

That's an interesting way of saying they took a different musical direction that didn't align with your tastes. They became more experimental and did some outstanding stuff after OK Computer IMO. Just because it was less mainstream than their earlier stuff doesn't mean they 'lost the plot'.

Sunderland away and we had better go full strength too. Tonda needs to understand what the FA Cup means. Hang on, misprint, that should read ‘what the FA Cup used to mean’.

Didn't pick up that vibe to be honest. He was asked about dropping Stephens for Quarshie against Leicester but explained it was to combat the pace of their front three - not sure WBA are as quick up front.

dont know about should like but dont but ones i am surprised are not more popular at Courteneers and Blossoms. Courteneers i've seen play in Manchester in front of 50,000 people but seem to still be relatively unknown south of Birmingham, amount of times i've spoken to people down south and mentioned them to the reply of "who are they?" Blossoms are similar, brilliant band, done some absolutely belting songs should be much bigger than they are.

A bit early to hit the bottle isn’t it Whelk? Not to early for the forum emoji stalker though I see.

The blokes travelled a couple of yards inside as well. I’m also sure there must be scouting reports stating that when he comes inside he has a pop (we’ve seen Leo do it 3 or 4 times now, you can’t tell me keepers aren’t expecting it). If the blokes gives him the eyes, twists his foot at point of impact and it flies into the other corner (although looking at it an effort like that will hit a defender), then fair play. But that takes a great ability, not many can manage. From that still pic, I’d want my keeper a couple of yards over, and his body weight moving to lift off his left foot. He doesn’t look set to me.

Yeah, we've been through some shit of late so it is great to feel positive again and enjoy watching us play.

Not in the promotional sense, but to some people, the quality of their music is exaggerated.

Anyone but Bournemouth otherwise Brooks will be cup-tied.

coming in at the same time as Eni Aluko

Maroon 5, Celine Dion, Bon Jovi?

It’s hardly “hype”.
