If it's us City will no doubt play a lot of kids.

In 2019 City have scored 30 goals and conceded just 1 in only 7 matches

Tottenham weren't doing too badly last season before coming to Rodney Parade.

I wonder what state the pitch will be in by next Tuesday. The Dragons played against Munster on Saturday in terrible conditions.

Was thinking about that also. Plus of course we play tomorrow(rain forecast) and Newport RFC this Sat. As good as the pitch has been, it is starting to show signs of wear.

Great draw if we can beat boro! glad its home also, if it was at the emptyhad the amber army would be the only ones there, the chequebook champions can't fill it for pl or cl games.

I just hope the Scousers are still plenty of points clear at the top when and if we play City. If they are, City may be tempted to rest their big guns. Also, they may be in the middle of a couple of Champion league games then as well. I hope they feel the pressure and bring some kids in. Mind you, those kids would probably be worth millions. Ah well, I can dream.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We still have to beat a team 5th in the Championship first, and I'm sure they want a crack at City as much as us.

Quite correct. I did say 'when and if' we play City. 'Boro first.

Quite right you did say that

I still have memories of that awful night when we replayed against Plymouth, with the winners to play Liverpool, and we lost after extra time. I see Tony Pulis mentioned when they drew at home to Cardiff in the cup and won the replay.

I was at that game. Had my bags already packed for the visit to Anfield. The disappointing thing for me was the penalty we gave away due to a mistake by a centre half approaching his sell by date. He had been one of our better players up until then. Quality player. That's my memory of that game. It was a long drive back that night.

And to think ..... a few seasons ago , drawing the mighty Blackburn at home in the FA Cup was seen as a massive game ??!!

Boy oh boy , we're being spoilt lately , but long may it continue !!!

Lol, you've got a mention on their forum;

They're a bit precious. aren't they? I guess that's what happens when you're pampered and spoiled like they have been over the past few years.

FWIW, they were getting 30,000 in the third division. I quite like Man City, but we can definitely make life difficult for them if we get through the replay. They're only second after all and have drew and lost to Leicester this season, who we beat. The bookies should have us as slight favourites if we can get past 'Boro, especially with us being at home.
