They've just played arsenal away in the third round whilst we played a league 2 side at home, We really can't be moaning about who they get.

Dippers are playing bottom of the championship away. We've got either 18th in the championship or 8th in league 1. Have we also got a bye?

Having seen us lose several ties that could be described as byes it's safe to say we can turn any straightforward tie into a giant killing act.

Love Pep obviously.
Have a lot of time for Paul Warne too (he must be so relieved!)...he's a good guy with a drole, offbeat sense of humour. Having previously lived in Sheffield, I saw him play as a hard working striker (in the same way Paul Dickov was for us) for Rotherham several times from Div 4 to Div 2 level. He reluctantly took over at Rotherham as manager from being a fitness coach and they always punched above their weight with three promotions as the Millers yoyo'd between Div 2 and 3 on a small budget. He genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his players and is a superb man manager. He's not every Derby fan's cup of tea as they are used to higher profile managers but he's done a good job getting the Rams up from a notoriously tough 3rd tier and should be able to keep them up on a tight budget.
 
Do we get 15% allocation in the FA Cup?
Cant see any chance of getting a ticket for Orient but hopeful for Derby.
 
Leyton Orient would certainly be interesting - appear to be 1966 since we were last there 2-2 draw 3 days after winning promotion. Can't quite work out whether it was the day we became Div 2 champions or had to wait until Charlton match.

I've been to Derby before but never to Pride Park - as it's just half an hour up the road it would be nice to get the opportunity.
 
Champions League play-offs are in the following week but won't be drawn until well after the broadcasters have announced the TV games. I don't how (or when) UEFA will decide whether we are Tuesday or Wednesday so there is no chance of playing on Monday and Sunday is also unlikely, though the twunts at the FA have previous when it comes to fucking us over for the benefit of TV.

Great atmosphere when we played them in 07-08, but we were shit that day against record low points Derby.

Derby fans were slagging off Darius Vassell after the game even though he was their best player. - Best player as in he was so fucking awful we'd have hammered them with a proper striker.
 
Whatever his limitations I'll never knock him. He always worked as hard as he could at a very difficult time for us.

Yes I have listened to his pod cast he is former Yugoslov during the war times he is very intelligent and a great motivator by the looks of it glad Schumacher did not get the post again bloddy scouser. But he did well at cercle Bruges took them from relegation to Europe. They had the youngest squad and they ran the most distance in all euro leagues to he then got the sack the following season as lost 2 of his best players and was at loggerheads with the board who then dismissed him all the fans adore him still and there are plenty good luck messages from them. I am very impressed with him and says to play football should be a previlige he is so humble should do a good job and hopefully keep us up. 3 big home games coming up. Glad Grannie shagger had gone
