FA Cup draw - Norwich (a)

[xgorton]

We've never played Exeter City in a competitive game.

The Grecians at home, please. That is, if they can beat Port Vale!

I think Everton are the only team we have played that starts with the letter E.

EB/Streymur in 2008 (twice!) :)

Good spot.

 

[Ding Dong]

Leeds round 3, rag twats round 4, candlepool (the bounce will have long gone by then) round 5, tarquins round 6, spuds in the semis and the pie eaters in the final and after 5 one nil wins we'll win 10 nil (some scars still haven't healed - has Dave whelan got over his broken leg yet does anyone know?)

Did Dave Whelan break his leg ? Where did this happen then ??

I want someone tiny, home or away, magic of the cup. No prem sides (we get that every week) and no Championship sides (boring as fuck as that's all we ever get in recent years).

Want an absolute minnow.

We never get those kind of ties do we?
Probably end up with a tricky tie like W.Brom or Swansea away where we can't afford to rest anyone.

There are only two in the top four tiers of English football, with Eastleigh in the Conference, so that's quite plausible.

Anyone away. In the cup scheme and working that weekend

LOL, same here.

 

[cleavers]

Not quite! They're the Struffiest Luckiest Struffin' Fuckers from Stretford. We can save them for a later round.

Lets leave them to get themselves knocked out, its normal procedure, no need for us to be bothered with them unless necessary.

If you're a blue, you want the easiest possible ties, probably at home, all the way to the final, or you're a fool.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Salford away ;)

 

[East Level 2]

Someone I've not seen us play at either Maine Road or The Etihad, or a new away ground. So that's:
Accy Stan - Home or away
Barnet - Away, saw us lose in the League Cup at their old ground
Cambridge - Away
Chesterfield - Away, saw us 3 times at Saltergate but they've moved.
Colchester - Away, saw at Layer Road but they've moved.
Dag 'n' Rag - Home or away
Doncaster - Home
Exeter - Home or away
Hartlepool - Away
Orient - Home or away
MKD - Home or away
Newport - Home or away
Oxford - Away, saw a couple of times at the Manor.
Peterborough - Home
Rotherham - Away - Saw us at Millmoor
Stevenage - Home or away
Yeovil - Home or away

Or any non-league team at home. Might as well boost their coffers.

Salford City so that we're guaranteed to be on BBC.

The winner of Northwich (that's Northwich not Norwich) vs Northampton at home

Here's a question
We draw a non league minnow at home and race into a 6-0 lead at the break
Would the players out of sportsman like courtesy just leave it at that and not really go for any more goals in the second half to save the minnow from absolute humiliation?
Is it something you'd prefer to see rather than double figures?

Surely if Salford win, they're a dead cert for Utd?

Good question and something I have mused about in the past. I suspect we would ease off.

Rags away, lets make an early statement

 

[Matty]

For purely selfish reasons I'd like an away tie, as I'm in the FA cup scheme and I'm abroad when the 3rd round will be played so don't much fancy buying a ticket automatically for a game I have no chance of actually attending!

No, leave 'statements' till as late as possible any cup competition.

Yeah but we ought to go for a record if we start to punish a team, I just don't think pellers is the kind of manager to allow it
