Reading Get Another Home Draw In FA Cup

By Hob Nob Anyone?

Reading have been drawn at home again in the FA Cup and will face either Premier League West Bromwich Albion or League One Peterborough United. The game will take place on the 20th February at the Madejski Stadium.

The Royals were 4-0 winners over League One Walsall in round four yesterday to progress to the next round. Meanwhile West Bromwich were held to a 2-2 home draw with Peterborough and will have to play out a replay to see who will face the Royals.

Although it is not the most glamorous fixture for Reading it does give us another chance to continue an FA Cup run. West Brom are 14th in the Premier League and would obviously provide a tough test, but with home advantage it's the kind of fixture where a shock home win could be a possibility. Peterborough will have home advantage in their replay and could provide a shock of their own to meet Reading in the next round. Peterborough are 8th in League One chasing a play off place.

Draw being made at about 6.15pm tomorrow Think many of us would want Shrewsbury at home but I expect it'll be a crap visit to Blackburn or Leeds A home draw would give us 5 consecutive Saturdays of home games A game with ManU means we'll be on the telly as they are always on irrespective of who or where they play. Finally the win today now means a nice Tuesday night visit to Middlesbrough is on the cards (still at least that means a weekend might not be ruined)

Could do with with Shrewsbury or a championship side at home. But I think we might get one of the big boys, home or away

As with every year I fear Arsenal - particularly at home. At least away you get a day out. Anyone but them please.
