Already excited about this one. Obviously they have players that should be respected, and it’s hardly going to be a walk in the park, but we have absolutely no reason whatsoever to fear them.

Our win at Wembley was one of the most one-sided games of the season, and we’ve improved since then. We’ll need to be on it, and strangely enough that’s more likely to be the case against United than either Chelsea (emotional baggage) or Southampton (complacency).

Just please for the love of Satan don’t lose another FA Cup semi-final.

Brilliant reading all the comments from Spurs fans obviously not from London, mocking Newport.

I've most likely been to your current home more times than the majority of posters on here to watch County, still, when we dump you out of the FA Cup you'll all know where little old Newport is.

You heard it here first, one of the biggest FA Cup upsets is on the cards.

I've been to Rodney Parade hundreds of times, mainly to watch the dragons.

It's a fucking shithole, and so is Newport (most people who live there will readily admit this).

FA cup upset my arse you fat fucking bastard.
 
Just nicked this off the Newport County forum

Mike Flynn, Pochettino, Guardiola, Mourinho and Wenger in the pub.

Guardiola buys a round of sangrias and they all enjoy a drink.

Then Mourinho goes to the bar and buys a round of red wines.

Next Pochettino goes up and buys a round of champagne because he's a classy guy.

When it's Flynn's turn he buys 4 beers, takes one himself and passes the others to Guardiola, Pochettino and Mourinho.

Wenger sayes, "Excusez moi, Monsieur Flynn, but where is my beer?"

Flynn says, "Sorry Arsene but this is the 4th round and you're not in it!"

P.S For those of you that don't know, Flynn is the NCFC manager.
 
I'm apprehensive, Maureen can bore the pants off a vicar and get a result . We are better but he' knows how to get over the line .
If there is justice then the team of the people will destroy those glory hunting sycophants and then that ugly bent corupt turd of club in west London .
It's not going to be easy.

By all means, anyone who supports their local club deserves respect.

Newport is a tough working class city and always has been, plenty of social deprivation but then Tottenham isn't exactly the nicest of areas is it?

That's why I find it hilarious reading some whopper posting that walking down an area of newport you're likely to get stabbed or pick up a prostitute, obviously missing the irony that the areas around WHL are equally, if not more, shite - but then I doubt fans like that have experienced football past playing FIFA or watching Sky sports news from their arm chairs.

I hope you put out a decent side and show respect for the competition and Newport, because we deserve it.

Never write anyone off in the FA Cup, do so at your peril.

Oi, fuck stick.

It was me who mentioned pill and the likliehood of getting knifed, and if you knew Newport, you'd say the same.

I'd say exactly the same about areas by WHL too, but we were discussing playing Newport away so it wasn't particularly relevant.

You have no idea how many games I've been to, or what kind of fan I am, but I tell you what sunshine, mug me off like that again, I'll meet you in the 'port and bottle yer teeth straight out yer gob. Got it? Good.

Feel free to get the fuck off our forum now...not sure why you think it's acceptable to sign onto opposition forums you armchair arsehole.
 
Given that I have 431 points, so just missed out, (and I go to any game I can a ticket to) the fact that some absolute c****s are selling tickets on is more than a disgrace.

Am I right in thinking that the last semi we won was against Woolwich in 1991.......good grief, I was married, two dress sizes smaller and didn't need the Clairol back then!!!
