FA Cup draw - Norwich (a)

[Matty]

Glad we're away, at least our support will be all be behind the team.

Glad we're away, as I'm in Australia on 3rd round weekend and in the cup scheme so just avoided buying a ticket for a game I know I can't go to!!

If we can't beat Norwich, then we don't deserve to be in the competition.

I would suggest over 90% of the teams who entered the FA Cup would not win at Norwich. Does that mean they do not deserve to be entered into the competition? What a strange thing to say.

Norwich away is a tough fixture for any team in the Prem.

Prioritise the Everton game over this. Full strength for Watford and Everton and then lots of changes for this. Tricky tie but would imagine they will play 2nd string too.

Not an easy fixture but certainly very winnable and I suspect Norwich might have bigger priorities than the FA cup.

So boring. Anyone but a Prem team is all I wanted, away at Prem is even less interesting.

FAR away Prem is just the worst.

Have we ever drawn a non-league team ever?

Every other top team seems to have done at some time or another... but not us

Mind you... probably for the best lol

What league were Halifax in at the time?

When was the last time we drew a team from outside the top 2 divisions in the FA Cup? I really can't remember.

To be honest we have had decent draws. In the last 7 years we have lost to Boro, Forest and Wigan (x2). We can have no complaints. However. United's draws of late have been hilariously straightforward. Chelsea have had, on the whole. a bit of fortune too.
