Does that mean we will play a seeded team?

 Fuck me...most pointless headline in history. It's only Prem sides and then Championship sides based on last season's finish that are seeded.  The idrea being to try and give us lesser lights a "big" game.

The idrea being to try and give the "big" clubs a free ride to the more lucrative latter rounds.

Corrected for you.

I wouldn't mind a trip to QPR, never been, potential scalp and fairly easy to get to on the train!

West Ham anyone?

One of the last 'old school' grounds in the Prem.  That would be great.  I missed going there in 1993/94.

I went to Everton when they beat us 3-0 in the FA cup (1995/96?)
That cunt Barmby was lucky he didn't get a slap for inciting our supporters

Would have loved West Ham away any time in the past 5 years, but seeing as I'm just about to move out of London and up north that'd be a right kick in the teeth!!

Everton away please :D

Correct! Although we were the first team to play there so not the greatest claim to fame.

Half right......first league game at home and we beat the oatcake scoffing cunts!

Me too, but the only thing I really remember about the match is Van Der Linden's substitution. I even thought the score was 3-0 until you said.

I did like the City "well Done Swindon" signs on the way up though.

I remember Rockin' Robin taking the piss out of the Stoke mascot in some way. I think he beat him in a race aswell?

That Belgian guy came on for his one and only appearance

Bakali?

And there was a keeper as well...McKinney?  Was that his only game?

I've never been there.  Only time I ever went away to Stoke was a Boxing Day game in the (mid?) 1990s when they were still at the Victoria Ground.  That was a dire game.  Think it finished 0-0.

I still don't think I've thawed out from that game - bloody freezing it was.

Got stuck in a 25 mile tailback on the M25...got as far as Wycombe to watch a 0-0 with Brighton.  Don't remember it being too cold in Wycombe.
