FA Cup R5 Draw | Plymouth Argyle (H) | Sat 1 March 17:45

Anyone, as long as it's at home.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Plymouth at home and the rest of the prem teams face each other. Could do with Villa and Newcastle going out.

 

[CityBrat64]

It'll all be on their big screens remember !!

Don't know how them and dippers get away with no screens

 

[Saddleworth2]

winners from us, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Villa, United, Forest.

United only because they will be 'eased' through.

 

[Corky]

There is zero requirement for big screens. Nothing to get away with.

I just want a home tie. I am probably missing something glaringly obvious, but why do folk want an AWAY tie??

I'd like Preston, but that will be for the Rags.

We have lost significantly more ties drawn at home than away over the last generation.

If we lose it is normally at Wembley, we haven't lost home or away for 7 years.

They 'get away' with it because there is no requirement to have one.
The FA and Premier League do not insist clubs have screens.

6000 Rags at the Etihad. I’d rather not have that.

Rather there than at the theatre of drea, er, the leaking roof!

Thanks for that, I thought there was

 

[Really_here]

Why? There would be around 8,000 of the fuckers in the ground, no VAR, no sighted officials, and we've already screwed up a great opportunity to avenge the cup final defeat.

I think VAR kicks in for the fifth round, so Slabhead will have to be less obvious whoever they play ;-)

 

[Really_here]

Well, knowing that we can't play against Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal is quite heartening. If we win the FA cup this year, that's arguably Pep's greatest achievement as our manager.

I don't think it would be anywhere close to his greatest achievement?
Four titles in a row? Winning our first CL?

Theatre of Streams.....

On paper it's not his greatest achievement. But digging into this season, I think there's an argument for it. We've lost our Ballon D'or player early on with no replacement. Constant injuries. Half the team involved right until the end of the Euros. The mentality of the players is completely shot.

To get this squad over the line and win any silverware is special and ARGUABLY harder to achieve than the trebles, repeat victories etc.

Would I swap winning the FA cup for any of those other achievements, no chance, but, it's easy to win when you're on top so from a devil's advocate view, a cup win this year would stake a claim... if that makes sense.

I can see your point and it would be impressive but we can agree to disagree ;)

 

[James2401125]

Preston at home please

 

[urban genie]

preston
doncaster
millwall
plymouth

all away

 

[Streetsweeper]

Milwall away anyone?

I’d forgotten what bricks taste like.

 

[IOWBlue]

Rags at the swamp, and they are forced to give us proper allocation, instead of cosying up to GMP and telling them to reduce it for safety reasons.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Plymouth away please, just to get Liverpool to stay humble

 

[johnnytapia]

We've never played Exeter in a competitive match.

@Chappie has seen us there - must have been a friendly
