Ball 32 this Sunday - Liverpool in FA Cup

[Compo's Hat]

One of favourite days of on the football calender, FA Cup 3rd round draw day and there's a good chance that Oxford (home to Barrow), Swindon (away at Wrexham) and Aldershot (away at Tranmere) might be in the hat with 63 other teams we could face.

Would love a local tie but if not i'll be selfish and hope for an away tie at somewhere i haven't been before.




I presume the draw is this Sunday and not the Monday.

[Tilehurst End]

We'll get Norwich away.

[The Prisoner]

I nailed this last year and guessed Cardiff away viewtopic.php?f=1&t=82635

I have a sneaker for Scunthorpe away this year. Don't put any money on it.

[winchester_royal]

Soton away would be nice.

'greed, or Fulham away

ITV.com says straight after the Kettering v Leeds FA Cup game - so around the 15:45 mark.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

It'll by Plymouth away.

[Alan Partridge]

Barnsley v Reading

[Toon Toon Blue army]

A championship side at home, you heard it here first!

Slap bang between the two 'Super Sunday' games on Sky, good darts!

[Shaka]

We'll get another team in the same league as, and lose to them like we usually do.

[watfordroyal]

Chelsea or Arsenal away,

failing that Luton, Barnet or Watford away!

If the club took the competition seriously, i'd be quite excited by this.

They don't.

[floyd__streete]

To be honest, I can't even get excited about the third round draw any more. I expect the usual dull and uninspiring tie.

[Gordons Cumming]

Barnsley v Reading

Exactly my thought too.

Weird.

About time we were away to a lower league side who would regard us as a big fish. Can't remember the last time that happend.

[Stranded]

They don't.

New manager could bring a change in team selection for this. Am slightly more excited about the cup draw than I have been - which is admitedly not a lot as we're bound to be drawn against Plymouth as we play them the week before.

Why is the FA Cup and the Carling Cup drawn out of a hat and The Champions League and World Cup drawn out of a pot?
How does Compo know that we are Ball 32?
Was the cup draw not more fun with a tranny behind the bike sheds at school on a monday lunchtime?
How long is it since we fielded a full strength team in the FA Cup?

[RG30]

This year will be different to previous cup runs. The FA Cup is a competition BR is definetely taking 100% seriously (not saying Coppell didn't but it was convinient to use the fringe players where this year it will be the strongest side available). The FA Cup provided a cataylst for Watford's impressive end of season form last year rather than a distraction, and I think we're more than capable of sustaining a decent run.

Ideally we'll get one of the local sides but anything commutable from Leeds would prove just as decent for me personally.
