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. 

I looked last night as I couldn’t remember all of the recent ones but that one struck me as the least worst, as Wolves were near the start of their Portuguese based run of success then.

West Ham the year before was decent too but typically we only had about half a stadium available at the time.

When was the last decent away one? Liverpool and that was a replay?

I wish my wife was a gambler. After Cardiff had been drawn out she said "So City will get Swansea then".

She also predicted Man U would get a home tie v Everton.

[cidered abroad]

I suppose Kick Off will be at 09.30!

Bloody Swansea.

Away from home you're probably looking at Leicester at the new Walkers stadium in 2003. As we'd been in L1 a few years I recall it was quite an exciting draw at a big, new ground. But pretty sure Leicester were in the Championship at the time. 

The fact that game stands out to me shows how dire our draws have been. 

Meanwhile Oxford rock up this evening and draw Arsenal

Boro were in the prem I think when we went there but that was a replay too. 

That Leicester game is probably it then.

West Brom were PL when we drew up there weren't they ?

[Northern Red]

We had Everton at home in 1999.

The Garita game? With boiler man?

[New Dazzler]

I remember going to Hillsborough for a 3rd round match in early December (1999), can't remember the reason the 3rd round was being played early.  Lost 1-0 to Wednesday, rubbish game and result under the management of Pulis, nearing the end of his days with us.  No atmoshphere in a Hillisborough crowd of under 12,000.  What a fun day that was!

Danny Wilson would have been managing Sheff Wed I think?

Think we lost 3-0 too? I remember going to both Walkers Stadium and Filbert Street when I was a kid as we had family up there. 

 

Ah 3-0 at Filbert Street apparently. https://www.11v11.com/matches/leicester-city-v-bristol-city-17-february-2001-5057/

I only remember Everton at home in the league cup that went 2-2 and we lost the shootout.

Yep, he definitely was. I remember thinking his programme notes were quite patronising about how the game was a potential banana skin for Sheff Wed because City might raise their game against the big boys. 

[Wanderingred]

This smells of narrow 1-1 draw at home, then 0-1 or 0-2 loss in a replay…. Wait, do we still have replays ?

Wasn't that 95 when they won it? Sure I remember Joe Royle saying it was one of their toughest games.

Both. 1995 lost to a Matt Jackson goal, remember Everton fans celebrating on the pitch. Then in 1999 lost to two late Bakayoko goals. Can still remember a Louis Carey slip at fault for one of them!

Two friends of mine, one an Everton supporter got tickets in the away end for that game. One of them told me after that the Everton fans were shitting themselves they were going to get rolled over. Junior Bent was flying that day, and he said you could hear them saying "he's skinning us" every time he got the ball. He reckoned they were on the pitch out of relief in the end.

Anybody know when there will be an announcement about when our game against Swansea will be played please.

Think all we know at the moment is Its sometime over the weekend of Friday, January 6th to Monday, January 9th 2023.

SATURDAY 7 JANUARY 2023
• Sheffield Wednesday v Newcastle United at 6pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
SUNDAY 8 JANUARY 2023
• Manchester City v Chelsea at 4.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer

[Northern Red]

There's a chance our game ends up on BBC Wales or S4C, though they're probably more likely to go for Coventry v Wrexham.

[Never to the dark side]

Dispatched an e-mail to S4C two days ago asking if they MIGHT consider showing the game,and they said they are looking at the possibilty

Wrexham have those new USA owners which might persuade S4C to show that game

Nothing stopping S4C covering both games
