7,100 of us out of a crowd of 13,600
Never has a team so deserved being serenaded with 'Your support is fucking shit'. To be fair we sing this at everyone but Fulham actually deserved it. Was funny to spot the forelock tugging arselickers in the home crowd giving their owner his accustomed ovation as he ambled across the pitch. Twats. Their team's a shambles as well.
We'll do them in the replay, stupid poor man's Chelsea.

One small step for me
What a shit draw - none of the big 4 are drawn together, and all have been handed very winnable ties, so the chance of any non-big 4 club making it into the final is almost negligible considering the number of Prem teams who have gone out already or will have gone out after the 4th round.

Cardiff at home will be a great tie if we dispatch Tranmere. Everyone will be looking forward to the return of the prodigal son.

lol surprise surprsie, we got one of the big four, we always fucking do. None of the big four playing each other,almost makes me suspicious about the way the draw is done these days. Oh well i guess newcastle can forget about the fa cup this year, might aswell lose 5-1 like we did to birmingham lasts eason. Btw what a tie for H& W if they get through, might play liverpool!

isn't this exactly what you were having a go at dave about on the other thread?
he was having a go at a team from a smallish town with not much of a wider support base outside the town for having 'small' gates.
I'm laughing at a premier league team in London for being outnumbered on their own ground. And sitting in sullen silence when their side could have done with a lift.

Why the hell didn't they (BBC TV) go to Chasetown?
well, they didn't, but I did, and had one of my favourite days ever, they were so fucking friendly, everyone. It was great. We (Cardiff) were outplayed in the first half, sneaked an equaliser just before the break and just about shaded it in the end.
There was a lot of me that wouldn't have minded at all if we had lost - the Chasetown people are what football is all about - 20 of them up trees, a hundred peering over the fences into the ground, the half time in the clubhouse (I was in the posh bit) with 6 daughters of the players all lined up wearing full kits stuffing their faces with the cakes nearly busting the table there were so many, they really really loved it, all of them, and it was a pleasure to be there.
The part of the ground I was in had a lot of former players (Collymore, Regis, Brooking) and the whole R5 crew in there, the Cardiff directors and hard-nosed club staff, honestly everyone knew that this, truly, is why we all love football. It was magic. I've been going 32 years (fuck!) and this reminded me that it is such a brilliant, beautiful game when you strip out all the cynicism and bullshit.
If anyone on here is from or knows anyone from Chasetown, say thanks from me, it was a privelige to be there. Cheeky fuckers and all, they had 4 blow-up sheep and took the piss non-stop.
