Why? That gives us a disadvantage as playing the 2nd leg at home is always better. You know what you have to achieve on your own patch.

Anyway, the only reason they do this with Arsenal is fan safety. You can't have an army of Spurs and Arsenal fans travelling to home games. That's no longer an issue. There is absolutely no good reason why we can't both play at home in current circumstances.

Fackinell you got the second sh*ttest side left in the tournament and you're still not happy.

Are they? I have no idea. I think we're all guessing as it's just a Croatian team but there's always a surprise package.

I've not seen anything other than the comment saying it will be switched but then again the reason we played our game on Wednesday was precisely because Arsenal were scheduled to play at The Emirates yesterday, but it got moved to a neutral venue after we switched our day over.

I have no idea why they're doing it but as both Arsenal and Spurs are scheduled to play our first leg away, I'd assume one of us has to switch over.

Why can't they just change days, wed, thurs

If Arsenal and Spurs draw each other then there is also a NLD in between I think. 3 games in 7 days.

On paper yes, but it was the same in the previous round when both Arsenal and Spurs were scheduled to play at home in the 2nd leg. That got changed. This one probably will too. Not seen any confirmation that our games will be switched over. Jose won't stand for that. It hands the initiative over the Zagreb and however much we should beat them anyway, he won't want to give even the worst team the upper hand.

This is an effing joke. Just seen this posted between a curious fan and an experts response...

"As per Uefa rules two clubs from the same city can’t play on the same night, and since Arsenal have the national cup rights the Spurs fixture will be switched around right?"

"Correct. Tottenham say details of when and where they will play the tie will be revealed in due course, but it is expected that the tie will be switched around.

The venue for one of both legs may also change because of Covid-19 restrictions (see our reporter Simon Stone's entry at 12:11). We will likely only find out those details early next week."

It's all down to Arsenal winning the FA Cup last season.

This basically means that if both Arsenal and Spurs go through, this trend will continue until one of us goes out of the comp. We might be Zagreb but I don't really fancy the idea of facing one of the top teams under those circumstances.

JUST LET US PLAY IN THE SAME CITY AT THE SAME TIME. THERE ARE NO FANS TO POLICE. MORONS!!!!!

We should just change dates rather than the home/away leg around. I’m quite happy with the early Wednesday kick off for our home leg.

What happens next round if Arsenal and Spurs are both drawn at home first - would our opposition want to change the tie so that we get home advantage in the 2nd leg? - I doubt it

On the other hand it would mean that we don’t have to travel before the NLD but they do - every cloud
