FA Cup Round 3 - Peterborough (Home)

[The Laughing Policeman]

Third round draw on Monday .
Who do you want us to get, or are any of you like me in thinking that a run in the cup will be a distraction from more important matters?
Personally I'd be happy with Man City away, get knocked out and then we can concentrate on the more important job of getting back into the Prem.
And with our injury problems do we really need those extra games?

Someone really shit at home. I want us to win the FA Cup.

Man City at home. Get it over and done with for this year. We can try and win it when we’re stabilzed back in the prem

[cdbearsfan]

I've been told I have to go out that evening so a boring home game would be fine. If we get an exciting away game I hope it gets moved to the Sunday.

Hopefully Sheffield United and Fulham get knocked out so as not to ruin future away trips by having them moved to the midweek.

Wolves at home as I am holiday the weekend  we are due to play them at home in the league.

With some of our fans there will always be a reason to go out of the cups, sadly.

The need for promotion. The need to avoid relegation. The need to finish top 6 and get in Europe (only to throw European games to avoid relegation/challenge for the title).

All from the book of 'Things losers say'.

What's wrong with trying to win every game you play? Now there's an idea.

[Deano's Mullet]

Someone shit at home so I can get to a match, looks dicey getting to Sheff Utd now because Sky have moved it so I probably won't manage a game in December.

[clash city rocker]

At home to those pie eaters from Smethwick.

[Des Little]

Coventry away (if they’re still in it)

[IFWaters]

Man Utd away

No lose scenario

JT and Chester mount a noble defence and Jed Steer gets unlucky and spills a Zlatan shot in the 92st minute.

We beat them and ram it down their throats ala MON in 2008/9 or wherever it was.

While I respect your opinion  I completely disagree with you.
I think the likes of Archie Hunter, John Devey, Harry Hampton, Eric Houghton, Johnny Dixon, and Peter McParland would agree with me. What former or present Villains can you name who you think would agree with you ?

[wittonwarrior]

As far back as I remember the FA Cup propelled clubs onto the upward spiral

Chelsea 1970 (winners of the Cup winners club the season after and became  quite a smallish fashionable club)
Sunderland 1973 (promotion within the next 12 months)
West Ham 1980 (through gritted teeth - good  finish to the season and promotion)
Everton 1984 (league champions for the first time since 1970 12 months later)
Manchester United 1990 (the rebirth of trophies for Man Ure and saved Ferguson from the Chop)

The cup is something to be embraced not shunned

[Dave P]

Anyone shit at home or MK Dons or Coventry away with the unlimited tickets this would provide.

[Nev]

I'd rather win the cup than go up. Both would be nice I suppose but my Mom always told me not to be greedy.

[cdbearsfan]

If poxy West Brom can get promoted and win the cup in the same season, I see no reason why we can't.
