Hopefully Watford can put us out of this stupid cup.

Worst FA Cup draw ever.

Reading away?

Hey, what...

 

[ShearMagic9]

We wouldn't have drawn them anyway, our number would've been different

 

[belfast_bomber]

I never get how the numbering works. It's not alphabetical is it, Torquay had a higher number than Wigan.

We've played Sarfampton away a couple of times lately. Think we won 3-1 both times.

Great draw, more local derby awesomeness!

Look forward to putting one over our "friends" down the A45.

Is there much of a rivalry there Ray? Long time they were premier league and your lot weren't, and I think you went up around the same time they went down - I'd say there's a feeling of scores to settle.

It's a strange rivalry because we had a long time where we didn't play each other. It's nowhere near the level of the rivalry with the Vile or Wolves, probably around the level of the rivalry with Albion, but with a bit more edge.

I think a lot of Blues fans think that Cov reckon they're a lot bigger than what they are because they had all those years in the top flight. I know I used to find it galling that they were there and we were not and that they'd go around saying Vile-Cov was now the big West Midlands derby.

Solihull (which of course adjoins Coventry with the green belt between the two) is also full of Blues fans so you also have that geographic proximity that adds to it.

Should be a cracking tie, really hope we send 'em packing.

The draw numbers go on the order the ties in the previous round were drawn. So for the 5th round, Torquay/Derby/Creepy Crawley will be 1, Watford/Brighton will be 2, Bolton/Wigan 3 and so on.

Well Abramovic has cut back on spending.

Southampton v Manchester United

I couldn't be happier with the draw.

It gives our players the chance to take on the #1 team in the country on our own turf in front of 32,000 people with nothing to lose before allowing them to concentrate on the league.

With only 22 of the 46 league games completed and promotion to play for it's going to be a crazy few months ahead.

The only possible negative would be that the build-up to the game could take the focus off our league campaign but I think the excitement will make up for that. Adkins is a very good manager and the signing of Chaplow and the re-signing of Adam Lallana has topped off a pretty decent start to the new year.

Sorry sainter, you're not playing Bolton.

 

[stkfc_cowboys]

I called our season done and dusted with my head in my hands at 2:30am the morning we drew with Aston Villa 3-3, so the cup games are all I have in terms of gaining success. Drawing Everton away has me a little nervous because of the sometimes unpredictibly of our form at the moment and the cup itself, but we should be right.

Go away FA Cup.

 

[Jessica Watson]

I agree, it's a terrible competition - get out of here FA Cup.

At least there's midweek EPL games.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Can't wait to get out of the Cup.

 

[A Bit High]

Just putting it out in an area that will get plenty of reads - New Draft Game on Soccer Games Board - put your name down if interested!
