Been a while since I've looked forward to the draw as much as this. Feel like we deserve a decent draw seeing as our previous two games were against tricky Championship sides away.

paultheroyal BT Sport are fuming the big guns have gone out.


My, how Liverpool, Arsenal and ManU have fallen.


Would they be that bothered about City being out? They are a big team, but there is nothing much there to increase the TV audience.

Exactly it's why Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal are always the ones being picked for the live games and City and Chelsea were left to 3pm on Saturday

Plus Chelsea and Citeh had supposed "gimmes" which would not normally get coverage.

AthleticoSpizz Want: Cambridge
Not sure I'd fancy our chances against them to be honest, I'd much prefer a less coherent team we might be able to unravel.
AthleticoSpizz Will get: Man U

Yep, that fits my criteria.

I'll give you Liverpool but Utd & Arsenal were away to lower league clubs, which will always be on.

Nice easy home draw please, and 'hopefully' safe passage to the 6th round.

I wouldn't mind Man Utd away.

Would be a nice pay day and they're definitely beatable at the moment.

Also, my 2 best friends support Man Utd so it would be so good if we managed to get one over them.

Always think of other fans when these draws are being made, both Reading FC and everyone else...........mostly to imagine the synchronised reactions.

Derby/Blackburn/Boro (A) = "Fck Off" being yelled out regardless of whoever might be around at the time.

Arsenal/Man Utd/West Ham/Palace/Liverpool (A)/Bradford/Sheff Utd/Preston (H) = "Wahey!/on the piss/get in there" etc.

West Brom/Stoke/Villa/Sunderland/Fulham/Leicester = Some "groans/could've been worses" - Some "good one for me" (because of location/at least we're at home etc).

Equally I can't see any team getting excited about a draw against Reading. We're a slightly less good divisional rival to a champ club, a should beat with minor banana skin factor for Prem clubs or 'not a top club' for the league one teams.

I'm guessing we'll get Leicester at home.
