Middlesbrough away in January... Lovely

NAH! Wind's a lot colder coming off the North Sea in February.

 

[TCM]

Hope we get a North West club in the lower leagues so their fans have a non expensive day out and a derby of sorts

Yep, get a likkle Northern club, with their likkle fans that can't afford a big day out far from Manchester.

Proper do them a favour by playing them.

C'mon patronising City fans FC!

 

[ancoats]

we will get a big tie, it will be united or liverpool away

Stockport County or Bury reborn?

 

[chaddblue]

Hope we get the lowest ranked team left at home. January will be tough enough after the WC

Stockport County or Bury reborn?

No mate, City all my (long!) life. But sometimes folk need to remember a time before we were successful and what it was like to be looked down upon.

 

[Musselburgh Blue]

Sunderland away please - purely as it's half my journey time...

 

[Zapcity]

Hope we get somebody interesting like a non-league team, and not another premier league team.

At one point I was convinced that we would eventually get knocked out by a non league team. Losing to 4th Division Halifax when we were in the (old) 1st Division was probably the closest we came.
The Rags actually came a bit closer than us though didn't they, when they were held to a goalless draw at The Swamp by Exeter (who were non league at the time).

Derby ,Burnley or Boreham Wood.

I said earlier in the thread and I stand to be corrected but I don’t think we’ve even played a non league team since 1971.

 

[simmo]

Will they be using the Pyrex bowl again to randomly draw a set of fixtures made for TV?

Be all above board as the draw is live from Anfield according to the FA site !

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Yer've jinxed us! It'll be the Arse, CFC, Brentford, West Ham, Haringey - AWAY! Personally, I'd like Accrington Stanley at home.

 

[Fordyboy46]

From a purely selfish point of view Chesterfield away, but I tthink we'll draw Cardiff at home

 

[Fordyboy46]

Have we ever drawn a non league team?

 

[Fordyboy46]

we will get a big tie, it will be united or liverpool away

Fucking hope not

 

[Blue Feather]

Stevenage away,......

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Have we ever drawn a non league team?

Wigan when they were non league and scraped through one nil back in the late 60s iirc

 

[Blue Feather]

Wigan when they were non league and scraped through one nil back in the late 60s iirc

Remember that, think the King scored, around 1971?

 

[dadnlad]

Wigan when they were non league and scraped through one nil back in the late 60s iirc

did they have that lad playing with his leg in plaster

 

[hertsblue]

Be good of them if they did not use a see through glass bowl this time when the no doubt ex Dipper or Ex Rag or both they wheel out to make the draw
