I don't think the Jamaican woodbines would help Robbie's performance at his age.

A few years ago, this draw would have been the top game in the round. How times change. Sky and their pundits didn't even mention it when they were discussing the draw after it had been made.

Should be a great match, so long as Son and Kane don't spoil it by playing. We don't get anything but pain from those two.

A few years ago, 60 to be more accurate.

We've certainly beaten them three times if you break all the games down to 90 minutes, which is what a game is supposed to be.

West Ham definitely the tie of the round with relatively easy games for Chelsea and Liverpool.

When you get to my age, you'll probably think it's only a few as well.

Looks like it’ll be a Wednesday night game as Spurs play on the Sunday before.

I guess we play them the same week as the league fixture, probably on Wednesday night. They will have games in Europe, then against us Sunday in the league the this fixture, so they may rest a few.

I think getting a home tie is probably as good as we could have asked for. It’s a winnable game and hopefully will attract a good turn out.

I think this is an ideal tie to see if there will be any shift in emphasis under the new regime. Alan has said that globally we want to be everybody’s favourite underdog, well here is an ideal chance to knock out a giant on home turf.

I thought Sean fielded a pretty strong side last night leaving only Mee and McNeil out of the mix.

I imagine that Alan must have been as underwhelmed as the rest of us after last season’s desultory defeat against the Cherries so Spurs at home will be an interesting one.

I wouldn’t consider counting a two-legged tie as two. Similarly if we’d drawn a game and had a replay (although that’s not possible now in this competition) I’d count it as one. Both the 1993/94 & 2008/09 meetings were two legs. I’m afraid no matter how you look at it, that home game in 2009 could not be considered to be a win.

They’ve knocked us out three times while we’ve knocked them out twice.

Spurs at home always throws up the memories of the 08/09 season.

With hindsight though, losing was probably the best thing to happen to us, as I am so sure that if we'd have won and got to the final we would not have been promoted that season.
