Newcastle play Spurs before hand and Liverpool afterwards, whereas we play West Ham before and United afterwards. Newcastles fixtures are much tougher than ours and I think we should see a very weakened team

One nice little stat for the conspiracy theorists on here..... 8 of last seasons top 10 PL teams were in the draw and only two were drawn against each other (City-Newcastle).
So we have the brown ale barcodes who have not won away against us since shearer scored the winner 14 years ago. Its a daunting task they face but they have to win sometime (please dont sack Pardew). I cant see them bringing many, they fail to sell out their 3k so there is no chance they will bring 6k fans, especially with their poor record against us and their current league form too. Lets hope Pardew throws the game to concentrate on getting out of relegation.
I predict the next round will have
West Brom
Derby
Liverpool
Man City
MK Dons
Chelsea
Southampton
Tottenham
Thats some tough ties to be had, MK DONS please :-)
