This represents the biggest chance of an FA Cup upset in its entire history, against Mourinho who is a masterclass at winning cup competitions.

I'm sticking a tenner on Marine just to cover myself

Newcastle at home, a tough one for them.

Agree - a PL team in the 3rd round is never a good thing, home or away.

Even in the 4th round, I think you have more chance statistically of avoiding a PL team most years

Hopefully Bale is fully fit and back to his best by the time we face Marine.

Pitch doesn't look bad from the images just posted on Facebook

How do Marine make money out of this? Obviously the glory is something special for them, but there should be some way they walk away with a windfall, too. Is there prize money at this stage?

My best mate watches Marine every week (in a non Covid world). He says they're allowing 400 in to allow for social distancing etc. Season ticket holders get first dibs so he's going to see if he can get me one

Time for my annual “it’s a disgrace we haven’t won the FA cup since 1991” post.
My first season as a fan we finished 3rd in 1990. The second season we won the FA Cup in 1991 and I remember thinking I have made a great decision here........FUCKING IDIOT!

Do they have 399 season ticket holders then?

You’d like to think our Europa qualifying matches would have been good practice for this tie. Stoke away in the league cup will give us a good indication of where we’re at.

Imagine being in one of those houses around the pitch for that one
Great tie for them, I have to be honest I've never even heard of them
Still our 2nd string team is Premier League quality, could probably finish mid table with it
Just a matter of whether they gel together as it will have been a month since the Europa League games which is the best hope of getting consistency from the squad players. Should win comfortably though , could either be another Tranmere sort of result or a really edgy closer than it should be one.

Guess that means we get 5 tickets or something, possibility of a carpooling

Probably cheaper to rent one of the surrounding houses and watch it from the window
