16/17 FA Cup

[DBAH0]

Man City at home.

WTF, we've drawn Man Utd, Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City in our last 4 Domestic Cup Draws.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Didn't he get sacked?

No

 

[Jatz]

Everton at Goodison for us.

6th season in a row that we've drawn PL opposition at the first opportunity. I know I shouldn't complain but it's really annoying!

Home draw for Spurs

We have Notts county or Peterborough

Swansea-Hull to be played in an empty stadium, both sets of fans planning massive boycotts and protests.

City tried that on the weekend but the Chelsea fans turned up.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Liverpool vs NewPORT County or PAFC (Plymouth Argyle)

Oooo, conflict of interest... Liverpool or Port Adelaide? Hmmm...

I think you were meant to say 6th club competition in a row, because I do remember Burton being one of our opponents in the FA cup too.

But yeah, I know right. When we were in the Championship, we wanted a PL club, but got stuck with a boring Championship club. Now we're in the PL, we want an interesting Championship or lower club (Like any of the East Midlands clubs or a unique place) and we get PL opposition. Where the hell was this when we wanted it.

We better put in an effort in the FA Cup, it's the only thing we haven't won yet!

Anyone got the full draw?

Just this one last time, telly man. Now that we're in a relevent part of the competition, I don't have to do any more updates. Everyone will be talking about it, doing their own little thing.



The most blessed side will be Liverpool, who are guaranteed Tier 4 opposition, (although the correct answer is actually Brentford, but don't let that get in the way of a good moan in).

Games will be played on the first week of January (7th-8th), so huzzah.

Man City at home.

There are clubs that would kill for that kind of drawing, it means money for the honey.

Of course, as a PL club, that really sucks.

 

[Magma]

another boring draw. 6th premier league club in a row now.

 

[Cruyff14]

Good to see Emirates looking after us.

Crikey, a month apart, yet the same information posted both times on the same page!

Guess it needed even more emphasising after that weird sacking. I still find it funny that you guys played a lot better with your backs against the wall.

Haha forgot I'd already posted about it in here, and now I know the actual numbers for ticket sales.

Plus this thread moves slowly.

 

[RossFC]

Our youth squad if picked should account for a 4th div side.

 

[HolyRioli]

Would think we'd account for Cambridge comfortably. Honestly in years gone by Id be less confident

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hopefully we avoid a similar result to the Bradford disaster a couple of years ago. Should ease past Peterborough.

 

[windyhill]

Loved going back to back in The Cup 2-3 years ago, it's our last chance for anything this season so come on Goons ( why didn't we draw Hull ? )

Home draw for Spurs

#rigged
#AIAFACup

Don't get me started on AIA. campaigners should let us display their logo in blue.

 

[Bostonian]

We'll be playing our B side v M K Dongs.

More important prizes to keep the eye on this season.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Careful you lot. Beware the team that feels like they have a prove a point against arrogant teams that will run weaker teams against them.

I'm conflicted... I want a good FA Cup run, since really, that's the final frontier on the English front, but at the same time, I want to make sure we survive and push towards top 10 for this season. Maybe next year when we don't have CL commitments... unless...

It's not arrogance. The first team needs a rest and the depth/kids need a go.

 

[jod23]

Should do the business against Plymouth. Be interesting to see who plays.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Not much appetite for this it seems. Would love to win this trophy. I was 18 years old the last time we did
