I didn't know that the matches were being played midweek, another nail in the coffin for the tradition of the FA Cup. Also there seems a long time between matches, matches aren't being  played till 3rd March.

Its due to the Premier League having a winter "break".

Oh those poor overworked PL footballers, it must be hard on them playing all those matches, never mind about the other leagues who play 8 league matches more. Apart from the teams in European matches most of the PL teams play fewer matches than the teams in the other 3  leagues.

Good draw for Wednesday 

 

But concerned about the first leg being at home

 

I'd have preferred to play Man City away as the Owls are giving some proper hidings on away grounds

 

But as its a home tie, I think Man City will win

The Owls have played Man City in the cup not too long ago at Main Rd,  seem to remember the Owls scored first and the result 6-1, maybe the same again

It's the old class system again

[RiffRaff 10]

Man City, huh?

Why does this old advert spring to mind again?!

It's the "pur 'em back" line that still gets me!

Man City were lucky on that occasion

The last time the Owls played Man City in a cup competition was at the Etihad, don't want to remind myself of the score that night.

City will doubtless put the reserves out.  Look at Liverpool's approach to their Cup replay. "We're on our break!" Will they put the youth team, managed by Critchley, out if they get to the Final?
