FA Cup 5th Round Draw | Luton (A)

Would love Maidstone obviously but they're saved for the rags or dippers, so it's Brighton at home I reckon as dull as you can get
 
IT has been expanded twice recently but the new anfiled rd not fully open yet.

In theory we could get the 9k maximum from both as they are both 60k+

Last two cup games there were not great atmosphere wise, and midweek semi had crowd problems due to traffic delays which they stewards made worse and mocked city fans. Fans fault for not turning up earlier they said.
Did anyone mention that might have been a problem at one of the semi finals in Sheffield in the 80's?
 
Poll added to see who everyone prefers. Teams are in order of league position.

Obviously there's a few replays still to play but they don't take place until February.

West Brom v Wolves is the only game left before tomorrow's draw but other than the loser of that game, if there is one, the rest of the teams listed in the poll will be involved in the draw.

A reminder of the remaining 4th round fixtures:

West Brom v Wolves
Watford v Southampton
Liverpool v Norwich
Newport v Man Utd
Blackburn v Wrexham

And the replays:

Forest v Bristol
Villa v Chelsea
Coventry v Sheff Wed
Plymouth v Leeds


Teams that will definitely play in the 5th round:

Manchester City
Brighton
Newcastle
Bournemouth
Luton
Leicester
Maidstone

I put Maidstone for a laugh. But I wouldn’t mind Coventry, Wrexham or Blackburn away. For a good atmosphere and scrap, Leeds United away.
 
We're the best team in the land and all the world and the majority want Maidstone at home. I don't. I want to see an exciting competitive game not a training like game when we thrash a no hope team like Maidstone. I'd rather play Liverpool away because winning there means we'll have earned it.

I want Maidstone at the Etihad to give them some money from the box office.
I see what you mean but just this one time I’m letting my heart rule my head. ;-) Basically pragmatism for this one.


Let’s face it they will never let it happen! The (alleged) hot ball for Maidstone will be matched with a hot ball for a red shirted team!!
Cynical moi???




I’ve realised that in the past 8 yrs I’ve become more cynical and more aware of the bias facing Manchester City. :-(

Fair enough. Maidstone fans coming north will be their cup final and a cup final they have almost no chance of winning even though many of them would want to draw us at the Etihad.

But i won't get much enjoyment seeing us thrash a non league side tbh. I'd rather go to Liverpool and see Pep get one over on Klopp and then read watch and hear the cauldron of piss boil spilling over; )

Definitely one of Liverpool or the rags will draw Maidstone. Imagine if the rags do draw them, Wigan, Newport, and Maidstone to reach the quarters ffs
