Bet you would've liked east Lancashire's top club, meaning Accrington Stanley, not the Burnley Dingles.
Accy will play Leeds at home, providing we both win our home match replays. I'm not confident at all, but being a glass half empty type that's to be expected. Hopefully a cold wet Tuesday night in Accrington will help us see them off!
A match with Accy would've been a great draw, far better than what we've got. Local derby, potential upset, big away support and probably lots of interest from Rovers fans. Forest Green aren't going to get Blackburn buzzing.

I can't see what you are moaning about?
You've got a home draw which is always a bonus and a very good chance to get into the fifth round.

I suspect we have differing senses of humour. I'm simply having a laugh at the dullness of the draw we've been given. Our neighbours, PNE, for example have Spurs which is great a tie for them, while we're stuck with Forest Green or Birmingham - hardly an exciting prospect. Most folk locally are having a wry laugh at the prospect. Nowt else.

We were there - took my niece and nephew to their first City game.
Got to say, Chelsea were woeful, offered nothing all match. Couple of great goals from us.
Sun setting on Potter's Chelsea career?

Two sets of goals. Were Chelsea using the wrong ones?

Dammit I've just inadvertently leaked Haalands secret - always have a second goal to aim for!

Nothing but a miracle will save him unless the new owners really do believe in him long-term.
We have a huge injury list at the moment with 9 players from the squad sidelined so we are pretty much hamstrung on that front.
We suffered at the hands of HMG (won't extend the subject as that is NCAP but they knee-jerked re RA yet still allow other corrupt regimes to own EPL clubs) and that caused massive unrest, loss of players due to inability to finalise contracts and buy players in time to bond via pre-season training. A critical phase of the season missed.
The USA Todd Boehly 'rescue' was welcome but the speedy sacking of Tuchel was bizarre - an elite level coach approaching the ability of Klopp/Pep and he was binned despite winning us the CL. Madness.
And replaced by a guy who managed Brighton into 15th, 16th and 9th place over 3 consecutive seasons. No trophies and no experience of managing a top-level club etc.
I really would like him to succeed but I see nothing that furthers his cause. His team selections can be odd, playing players out of position is odd, he has all the dugout passion of a chunk of roadkill.
Plus he is naive in-extremis. Several matches ago he said that WE (the team) need to get used to playing more than one match per week! Erm... we've been playing way more than 38 games or so for two decades, winning 18 pots along the way, and last season played more matches than any other top European league club. What he should have said was that HE needs to get used to playing more than match per week. What a dope.
His post-match pressers are laughable, Pep, Klopp, Mourhinio etc come out fighting, even if they have lost a match. Potter talks about the need to be respectful and humble - he clearly doesn't see the pitch as a battle zone.
So... despite the issues (injuries,HMG antics) my concern is that he is inexperienced (at the level we usually play at) and lacks any real fire. Reminds me of when our manager was Avram Grant (ye gods!)
If he turns it all around he will have my support but he's off to a rocky start imo.
One crap season won't sink us but we do have a tough few seasons ahead of us.
Sorry about long post.

yes that was strange about Tuchel becuase i really rated him as a manager.Maybe he upset some people within the club.
I think Potter getting the job was a knee jerk reaction. He just doesn't look up for the job.If Abramovich was still in charge he would have been long gone.
I was in the car listening to Talksport and they were discussing Potter.One of the listeners phoned up and said potter would be a good fit for West Ham.No thanks we've already had one of your outcasts,the fore mentioned Avram Grant.He was absolutely useless and got us relegated so we don't want another.

Potter been given the dreaded vote of confidence by the board, so that's him doomed I reckon.
And Bale has retired, which I'm surprised about as I reckon he had a couple more seasons in him at Galaxy.

Leeds really should have won on Sunday given Cardiff's line up that day.
