Agree with this. Bet BBC are regretting choosing this one now too. Chances of an upset seem very unlikely indeed at the minute
Surely there will be more than that? How often would Newport County fans get to see a Premier League Team at Rodney Parade? Answer only when there's a cup. Just because Newport County are not playing that well in the League doesn't mean that they can't or won't beat Leicester City. Unlikely true but you can never say never. Catch Leicester City on a bad day then who knows, 2 -1, 3 - 1 or 4 - 1, stranger things have happened. And of course those that were at the game will remember the day Newport County beat a Premier League team (that were Champions of the Premier League 2016) . Wouldn't that be a great thing to be able to tell your grandchildren . As the great Max Boyce once said I Know 'Cos I Was There!! what a great day that was. The Great Newport County beat the Mighty Leicester City to get through to the fourth round of the fa cup to play Manchester United or even Liverpool at home.
I'd take a win by 1 goal, or a draw for a replay and more £££s. I think our players will raise their game, they can then say they beat/drew with the Premier League winners. Heads mustn't go down if we are behind, need to keep battling. Crowd will be crucial, need to be the 12th man, very quiet at the last few home games. As Tim says "let's make some noise!!"
