    Tonight in BBC2 or BT Sport at 7pm, ball number 46 I believe.

    Who do we want?

    Don't really want a Premier League team for the same reason of not wanting a Championship club when we were in the Championship.

    Definitely, somewhere new away is preferable. Nothing to gain from drawing them up the road.

    At this stage, someone easy and beatable, for example one of the lower-division teams who always knock us out of the League Cup.

    I think we'll get Sunderland away.....so they can end their year long run without a win at home. Their last win was against Watford!! That's how football works.

    I think we’ve ball 41.

    As for opponents I’m not overall fussed. Bournemouth again might be a good day out away.

    I think it will be the scum. It'll totally derail our season.

    Got that wrong, and can’t edit on the mobile web version of the site. Good spot.

    Can't edit full stop.. well not after the 15 minute window.



    For those hoping to go to new grounds i just checked and i believe the only club that has gone through so far, who we've never played at their current ground, is Newport County. There are a few where we have only played friendly's such as MK Dons, Shrewsbury and Afc Wimbledon, plus a few more involved in replays.

    The FA cup always throws up some irony, an ex player, bitter ex manager etc.

    Therefore I expect Everton Or Arsenal

    I'm sure we're always one of the last 4 drawn.

    Sheff Wed. Give all the pre-pubescent boys we have as fans a chance to fawn over FF, assuming he still plays for them?
     
  17. We got Hull at home in the rehearsal.
    (Meaningless fact to while away the minutes)

    Has Peter Beadle been a castaway on a tropical island?

    EDIT: Mind you it's clearly an island with a bountiful supply of pies.

    Why do they have to pad it out with this tedious dross, just pull the ******* balls out.

    Numbers to look out for, Arsenal, Chelsea... Wolves?

    Some cracking all Premier League games for the bbc to pick from for their live broadcast, the stand out one being Man utd v Derby.

    Can't ask for more than a home draw v lower league opposition I suppose. Plus a few premier league teams will go out this round.

    It's our ******* year!

    Bristol City,,.

    Our big promotion rivals of the 97/98 season from Football Division 2. Made us look like a fifth tier side in the Moose "who cares about it anyway" Cup.
    Revenge? Hmmm, perhaps but I hope we put out a strong side and show them what the Premiership is really all about instead of that
    half-ar$ed performance last time.

    We really need to start winning more at home, and I know we have played three of the big four at home, but beating them by a big scoreline would be awesome.

    At a wedding on FA Cup weekend so quite pleased it's a crap draw, but one we have a chance of winning. Lets play the first team. We're not going down, we're not getting into Europe, lets at least give this competition a go.

    Unless we finish 7th and the 2 cups are won by teams who finish above us ?

    Unfortunately none of the top 6 have been drawn together. Liverpool-Everton is the biggest banana skin.

    From the Beeb:

    For the first time since 2005, a Manchester United match in the FA Cup will not be shown live on television.

    Ha! Bore-inho indeed.
