That Friday Feeling How far we've come :wink:

Only a couple of seasons ago this would have been a tip-top draw.

As it is, I'm pretty chuffed as I can't make it anyway.


Me too, In Poland, Walsaw might have been a good draw for me. (if they were still in it)
:roll:

I wonder if the Ladies Team will take the cup seriously. They've got a cracking draw

No, let's get knocked out.

It would save me £100.00.

floyd__streete It'll be the usual p*ss-poor draw won't it? Someone in our own league or another Championship team probably :x


:?: :?: So then, er, remind me whats more appealing??


Someone in our own league - Newcastle.

Championship team - Birmingham.


Either of those hugely appeal to you? No, me neither!


errrr, yes actually - but you still didn't answer my question :roll:

How about: Not get knocked out and you don't go to the game. Would still save you £100.

Suits me fine, a game to ease Kits and Convey back into things then Burnley left with the pointless trek to Newcastle or Birmingham. We'll get to retain our magnificent Cup record at home at the Madejski plus our general cr*p record with FA Cup draws.

No, away games in the Cup are a good laugh.
Away games full stop are a good laugh.
Don't get me wrong, if we were at home I probably wouldn't bother, but I prefer away days loads more.

get past burnley and i think either team is beatable - we pushed brum close last year so i'd fancy my chances against them. newcastle is the less favourable of the two. its a long way to go, and i dont think our reserves will quite have enough, but you never know

Walsaw?

Is that an amalgamation/merger of Walsall and Warsaw?

Absolute disaster of a draw if we get Newcastle. I had a fantastic time in December, loved the night out etc but I cannot be bothered with the travelling cost + ticket prices.

Having said that if we get Birmingham then I'm delighted with the draw, not too far on the train.

Need a result though against Burnley. Please avoid the replay at all costs!
