W-S-M Seagull Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Would have liked another quality away day but if we get through then it is a winnable tie whoever we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 10 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: All said with the caveat of needing to beat West Ham. But that's winnable, even if it's Forest. It's great to get a home tie and I'm pleased at that. Can't see it being picked for TV though, not when up against some of those other ties. Yep they may have picked us against Forest or West Ham against Forest for the Thursday ITV4 game, but in view of the risk of them ending up with Bristol City vs Blackpool I can’t see it!

Red DNA Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 25 minutes ago, cidercity1987 said: Newport or Eastleigh v Man Utd is a beautiful FA tie It annoys me when the person commentating on the draw sees the Tottenham v Man City tie and says it’s the standout draw (or similar). They play each other twice a year in their own League ! The beauty of the FA cup is the chance to see teams you don’t usually see play against your team and you dare to dream of a win. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know how many games are picked? Chelsea v Villa, Spurs v Man City, Newport/Eastleigh v Man Utd (assuming they beat Wigan), Ipswich v Maidstone and, let's be honest here - any Liverpool game - would all get picked above City v Forest/Blackpool I'd have thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this time they had one game Thursday, one Friday, two Saturday, one Sunday and one Monday with others on Iplayer. So in 16 ties then there would be six live. Gimmes there are the first 4 you mention. The TV companies have got a lot of pelters for their choices this time round with the likes of Palace v Everton so I don’t see them going for middling prem vs prem games (unlike the ones above). Liverpool home to Norwich or the scummers isn’t attractive so I do disagree there. Looking at the draw there are a lot of champ vs champ and unattractive all prem. I think they’ll go for WBA vs Wolves or Brentford as there is at worst a shock chance and at best a Black Country Derby.
