Chelsea at home in the League Cup, then Liverpool, now Chelsea at home in the FA Cup.
It's a good job Lorraine is working in the ticket office anymore she'd never have coped.

Dealing with all those ticket requests and a stalker at the same time might have been too much

Could be worse could be a fixture pile up in the full members cup or the simod cup … or even worse playing Warsaw miners fc on Thursday night .
Onwards and upwards we’ve had worse problems.

I've always liked the third round of the cup because it was always around my birthday so on years where we could only afford a game or two (not every year, it's not a sob story) it was always the one we'd go to. Looks like it is actually on my birthday this year and a big game at that, good stuff!

One of the best footballing weekends of the season.

Especially as for so many years it was often effectively the end of season

Apart from 1981 of course.

Shouldn't complain at a home game and against premier league opposition, but hardly the magic of the fa cup and just a bit boring for me as a draw. Is the fa cup at least straight to penalties this season?

Apparently that now means we play Chelsea twice in 48 hours?

Lol, we lived in hope.

A tricky game, and our record in cup competitions is pretty poor, apart from the league Cup or what ever it is called these days

Even the draw is proper tradition
I remember when it was Monday afternoon and only on the radio, half decent teachers used to put it on for us

FFS only just watched the draw, no luck in the domestic cups this year.

Haha I was trying to keep it light and optimistic
Getting leathered at Brighton (albeit iirc the 4th round?) indirectly got us relegated? Didn’t Bond quit the day after?

 

[warringtonblue]

Draws fixed so one of rags, dippers or Arsenal win a trophy this season.

so you think Chelsea will beat us?

We can’t really complain tbf we’ve had a decent run albeit after a decade of horror draws, PL team away nearly every time for eight years iirc
