FA Cup 4th round draw - Palace (a)

[david whites spike]

Not that bad a draw really as we're arguably better away from home at the moment. Hopefully Bolton can win the replay, but even if they don't I doubt Allardyce will go full strength given Palace's perilous league position.

After the immediate ffs!!! I thought exactly this.......surely big sam will concentrate on safety in the premiership......I think they might just put their reserves out.

Luck of the draw.
How many home games did we have the season we last won it.We`ve been beaten by both Boro and Forest AT HOME over the past few seasons.

Wasn't forest 8 years ago?

He shows admirable restraint by not mentioning it in every single television interview he does.

Repetitive people are so tiresome. Perverts

Interesting fact about the rags draw - wigans ex chairman played in an fa cup final with a broken leg. Not sure if its been mentioned before.

Really?

To Oakie, that only represents 10% of his time on this earth.

Next time the bowl should be filled with water to avoid temperature issues
and the smiling twat should wear these long veterinary gloves to keep dry :)

Yes.... but when and against whom?

Exeter at home back in January 2005 was the last time United weren't screened live in the FA Cup. Exeter were non-league at the time and got a highly credible 0-0 draw. On the same day we got knocked out by Oldham at Boundary Park.

It isnt because some rounds have a higher percentage of p/ l teams than others, besides we havent got a premier league team yet. Draws are done by different ex players every draw, ridiculous to think they are all in on some kind of conspiracy.

I accept your 2 main points. Not sure why you suspect I am a conspiracy theorist but the odds are as I say nevertheless.

What are the chances this will get picked for TV? A total of 5 games to be televised right? Three by BT and two by BBC??

And will the TV companies wait for the replays before picking TV ties for next round or do they choose now?

Looking for this answer too.

Went to that game, winning the Fa cup was just a pipe dream then , way things were going then I thought even getting to wembley/ millennium stadium for a cup final was just a dream never mind winning a trophy.
