My dad is a lifelong Cardiff and Chelsea fan, so he's absolutely delighted. Will be going with him to that game.
Probably the best draw we could have got.
Chelsea have been hot and cold for a good while now.
If we play as well as we can, we have a squeak .
Great draw
My son supports Cardiff and Chelsea It will be Cardiff for him on the dayQuote:

We've little chance, but a home draw all important. Big crowd, possibly sell out, on tv, so plenty of dosh for the coffers.
Even in defeat a good performance will do wonders for moral.
Pity 2 players already riled out, Kpakio and Kellyman.
Hope you’ve got your Cheltenham stub!Quote:

How can you be a lifelong fan of TWO teams??Quote:

How can people be a 'lifelong' fan?
Did they pop out on day 1 and declare their love for a particular team?
Legend has it Dai Hunt came out with a city hat and scarf on.Quote:

Ideal draw. Chelsea are very erratic at the moment
Five wins from their last six games. I wish we were that erratic. :hehe:Quote:

We'll have games on the exact same dates if we win our cup game at Peterborough on Saturday (and maybe even if we don't).Quote:

Hope we get a decent linesman this time
I understand that sucklings are exiting the womb doing the Ayatollah these days.Quote:

Kpakio was booked against Wrexham (his second booking in the competition), so he will be suspended for the quarter final.
Curcurella was booked against Wolves (his second booking in the competition), so he will be suspended for the quarter final.
But Delap will apparently be able to play in the quarter final despite being sent off against Wolves.
:shrug:
I missed this game, being 2 weeks old at the timeQuote:

A Nicky Platnauer double in the third game. We were in the Fourth Division, Chelsea were in the top flight. That was a great night (although chaotic in and around the ground).
Haha that was my first though too. A load of sad acts with Wellerman haircuts and ali express stone island thinking they're tough.Quote:

2 yellows feels a little harsh considering EFL clubs will play 1 or 2 ganes more than PLQuote:
