Fair do's. My initial feeling was just straight back to them pipping us in THAT year. Going to see them pump us a depressing thought.

However, local and there's a story there. I can see it

Not really though, are they?

To be fair, once the first 6 had gone, this was about as good as it could get.

Will be a big away following. We will easily sell out the standard allocation of 2,000 that Brentford give away fans.

It is disappointing. Saying we've drawn a Premier league side is sort of dressing it up. It's neither one thing or the other. As the Kube says, be under 10,000 there. Like I've said before we hardly ever get a 'plum' draw. Compare us to what other lower teams got? In fact, it's an awful draw!

Excited by this.

New ground to visit, sell out away allocation and a London derby. Perfect.

Perfect draw for the board. They can rub shoulders with their soulless heroes. The game is after the window closes, so the money will be going into Coley’s pocket.

You’d have preferred Stoke away? Strange

No, that's 'one' that I wouldn't. But I would have preferred:

Aston v (Wycombe)
Man u (Barnsley)
Leicester (at home) (Walsall)
Newcastle (Wimbledon)
Chelsea (Barrow)
..or a home tie against opposition we could realistically advance into the next round.

It's a derby in the warmer months at one of the better new grounds where we'll take a decent number and a have a good choice of local boozers. If we weren't getting one of the top clubs, this is a pretty good draw. Only problem is Kew Bridge is a real faff to get to if you're coming from east London.
