At least we’re not playing them the week before or after like has happened before Just having this conversation with mates. Would be great if they could do this for just the 3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last really decent FA cup draw? West Ham at home? Boro? Prem teams at the time. Can’t remember a good away draw - West Brom maybe. Good day out but none of them exactly glamour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, East Londoner said: Weird how many all prem ties and all championship ties there are yet again Yes - there does seem to be a dearth of “romantic” ties in recent years and the Prem team tends to get drawn at home. another underwhelming tie for City, quelle surprise. To call that a “Derby” is a bit of a stretch. True, we disike one another but neither are each team’s main rival - not sure if put hem in the top three. Sadly after the antics of their brainless fans in the league game we’re going to have to give them a bigger allocation for this one per cup rules. They’d better not play up again.

Bris Red Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Not a great draw but not horrendous either. I’ve quite enjoyed the atmospheres V Swansea over recent seasons - the game feels like it has more edge than the Cardiff games these days for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I am pretty sure we haven't played Spurs or Arsenal since the old first division days, it seems either of them is overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I was hoping for one of the scouse sides away as were up in Liverpool that weekend watching Peter Kay would have rounded the weekend off perfectly. Some pretty feisty off field ties if you know what I mean cardiff v Leeds / spurs v Pompey utd v Everton ( 9,000 ) for cup game weds V geordies even us and Swansea . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree I said that for a while now , over the last few years this has been a fairly feisty fixture ( off the pitch ) both home and away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 There are 63 other clubs in the 3rd round, so if you assume there are say 10 glamour draws , then your chance of getting one is only one in 6.3. So, not really surprising at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying this for ages especially as they now have new grounds, Spurs ground looks amazing. I’ve always had a thing for us playing the north London duo, probably since we did the double on both in our first season in the top flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 The question was asked what will come first, a penalty for City or a decent cup draw. I believe it will be a decent cup draw in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine £25 up to £35 for middle or somewhere around there is the going rate. If they can do tickets for £20 I think that's pretty good.

We have had a very lengthy run of tedious ones, often playing other sides in our own division. I wouldn't say Wolves was a good draw as it was in the fifth round. At that point in the competition you're pretty much guaranteed to get a big club. Our luck of drawing anyone big in rounds 3 and 4 is absolutely pathetic. It's literally been happening since 1994 - nearly 30 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I’m fine with this….either big club (h/a) or anyone at home. Get the pricing right, and it should be a good attendance. Outside chance of tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the obvious ones - Utd, City, Liverpool - I’d think that Oxford v Arsenal and Weds v Newcastle are shoe ins and then possibly Boro v Brighton and Cardiff v Leeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
