Be Sunday 8th this,or dare I say Monday 9th !

Monday I bet. Obligatory rags game, Arsenal at Oxford will be Sat and Sunday

 

[LongsightM13]

Wouldn’t be surprised if we both get through our champions league ties we draw them in that as well ..

I seem to remember we once beat Birmingham City in both league games and both cups in the same season, was it around the Sven/Hughes era? Or maybe Mancini?

League 2 play off winners, you'll never sing that

Our year for drawing the big clubs.

Rather dull starting both domestic cups against the same Premier League team.

 

[meeesh]

Probably,but not too sure how many games are on TV,they might have 2 on Saturday,2 Sunday,a Monday,and a Friday night possibly,but as we know,Friday and Saturday are deffo ruled out

Yep and I think all on BBC/ITV. One of them might be brave enough to show Borehamwood v Accrington but I doubt it

Disappointing, an easier draw would have been nice.

Wonder how seriously the scamps will treat it this year, must be a likely way of silverware, obviously via pens, la!

Glad I avoided watching the draw if meth head was doing it, the preen-in with bollock gob is very slightly more preferable. Ish.

They’ll never take the Joan Gamper Trophy

 

[yankblue]

Well, if the Carabao is anything to go by, if we get through Chelsea we'll be rewarded with an easier draw against a midtable side

They'll put Dippers v Wolves on before that mate,unfortunately

Shocking Draw for us

I’m not sure they’ll be too chuffed either though. We are the home team.

All depends whether we really want the extra fixtures when there are two much bigger prizes up for grabs.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Apart from not wanting to play them yet again it's not the worst draw to be honest, both teams can play a largely second string side knowing they'll both be competitive and no disgrace to lose, if we win, one less strong team in it, if we lose, we don't waste energy getting to a semi final to play a second strigng side against a first team and lose.

Keegan wasn’t it?

Given we usually throw the semi final anyway it doesn’t make much difference

I think you’re right

Be nice if pep takes it seriously for once

As we've got no history, we'd best not mention we first won the FA cup before they existed.

Will depend how things fall, it will always take 3 rd place to the league and c/l as it should. If games fall kindly then he’ll take it seriously.
