Is on Monday at 7pm. We are ball number three which still pisses me off.As long as it isn’t Man Utd or Liverpool, I’m not fussy. I am a bit fed up of having to face those pair. And then their glory hunting dickhead fans down in Devon giving it large to me.
So who do we want this season? And will the manure game be home or away this year?
I’d like Yeovil away in a nice easy start to Mr Emery breaking history with us.
Walsall at VP.
I'd like Wigan away.

That'd be OK by me as well.

He picked a team that scored twice and created enough chances to win the game. And even if he picked a full strength side individual errors and fuck ups happen. Man U changed things up to. We could and should have won.
Here's a question, when was the last time we played Birmingham in the FA Cup?

Whenever it was it’s still not far enough back in history.
Unbelievably it was I think back in the 1930s!
As far as I am aware we have only played them once in the FA Cup, as Small Heath in 1901.Partly correct, 1901 was the last time we played them and they were known then as Small Heath, but we also played them in 1887, when they were known as Small Heath Alliance. We have never played Birmingham or Birmingham City in the FA Cup.

At the outset of the game, he picked a weakened team. Whatever then transpired, it wasn't going all out to win it. It was a shit line up, as just about everybody including you alluded to in the pre-match thread.
You do know it will be Blues now that this has been mentioned.
I'd like Wigan away.
That'd be OK by me as well.
Better pies at Wigan then Forest Green.
3: H sha W4-0
4: H Cov W4-0
5: H WBA W5-0
QF: H Wolves W3-0
SF: Arsenal W3-1
F: Man Utd W4-1
And that is how our FA Cup curse is ended.
I would like somewhere away I haven't been. Or Norwich.
Accrington Stanley away would be good.
I'd like Wigan away.

Was at Forest Green groundhopping on Saturday. Had high hopes for the food; the pie was bloody awful.
We then did Bristol Rovers yesterday, and their pasty options were excellent.

I'll have to not watch the draw more often.
Manure at home shocker
A decent draw, but footballing wise and anything else wise is there anything remotely interesting about Stevenage ?
Fun fact. I'm older than Stevenage FC.
Their forum looks like it was made in 1998.

An old boss of mine was a Stevenage fan, we had a long standing arrangement to meet up if we ever got drawn together but sadly he passed away a couple of years back.
So will it finally be 66 years and no longer counting, I can but dream.in Belfast on the semi final week against Manchester United or Liverpool,, nice to beat them in front of the glory hunting f**kers

Low life wankers. Hope we wipe the floor with them.
I thought that was dropped seasons ago?
Stevenage Manager is Steve Evans. Aren’t we supposed to not like him for some reason lost in the mists of time?
Their tweet's been removed.

I think an apology would just be drawing attention to it. It's best just forgotten.I agree. Everyone says or writes something a bit out of place at some point. They've realised that, and taken it down. Nothing to see here.
The Stevenage game was on TV at the weekend - they are not a bad side, should be a game we should win - hopefully
The idea that Villa might get into round 4 is making me light headed.
I'm used to watching 4th round draws with the frustration that not only are we not taking part anymore, but the fact we'd have probably beaten the side we should have played next!The idea that Villa might get into round 4 is making me light headed.
Me too, fella. I'm sure we'll find some way to balls it up !
I must admit I was getting slightly nervous last night. All the small clubs seemed to be drawn against each other, with the Villa and Man U balls were still not picked.
Yep. Seven straight defeats, six straight Third Round exits, since that glory, glory night when we saw off Wycombe, after a replay.
Saw something earlier that we’ve been knocked out in the 3rd round of the FA cup the last 6 seasons running. That includes a 3-0 home defeat to Swansea and a 3-1 home defeat to Peterborough!Two games I remember well. Being totally outplayed by Peterborough and thinking quite why I was sitting through the Lee Tomlin show in the freezing cold.
Hopefully this is our season to win the CUP.

I bet we get moved to the Sunday 2pm but still not on telly slot.

I was fixing a new catch on the loft hatch whilst watching, I was really nervous and they went on for ages before starting the draw. Fair play, big Mark Wright is now in my good books for having the decency to pick us out first.

No the big ginger freckly one from the eighties
Sheffield United away. Coops, Mike J and Joe will know why.
He picked a team that scored twice and created enough chances to win the game. And even if he picked a full strength side individual errors and fuck ups happen. Man U changed things up to. We could and should have won.

I’m not dismissing that he could have put out a better side. But it doesn’t just guarantee a win. Football doesn’t work that way.
It's about as good a draw as we could have got and whatever team we put out should be good enough to win. Only slight note of caution is that they are flying this season. Can be tricky playing teams full of confidence, even from lower divisions.
We might be bad AV82EC, but I reckon even we must have drawn or won the odd game since 1957...
I just hope we don't get too far ahead of ourselves. Can you imagine what it would be like to play in the Fourth Round? Magical stuff. Please don't fuck it up, Villa.
Most upset - Liverpool in 1992Was that Wimbledon one after a replay?
Most annoyed - Bolton in 1994
Most horrendous - United in 2002
Most miserable - Wimbledon in 1991
The only time I wasn't too disappointed was 1988
We gave them a right go
We played well
They were head and shoulders above everyone that season and we were 2nd Tier
They needed 2 quality goals to beat us
The atmosphere was incredible - a sell out even though on the telly, as we used to say. I always see it a ore-cursor to the Bradford game 3 months or so later. The Holte was Bloody Noisy
1959 and 1960 were great disappointments for me. Two semi-finals one after the other. I was deeply traumatised to the point that I don't think I've still not got over it. I was at both.Those were slightly before my time- I hadn't realised how close we had been to appearing in 3 Finals out of 4.
Was that penalty shoot-out defeat to Wimbledon in 1993 our first ever penalty shoot-out generally? I'm guessing not, probably a ZDS or League Cup game previously. Don't think we've ever been knocked-out in Europe on pens, have we? And also, Statto, are there any English clubs in the whole football league (all 92 etc.) that have never taken part in a penalty shoot-out?
Quiz question: the first ever FA Cup penalty shoot-out occurred in which round?

I know as I remember reading about it years ago. Answer in spoilers in case anyone else wants to guess3rd/4th place play-off, sha winning the shootout.

Anyway moving on. Here it is in all its horrendous misery, 66 years of abject misery, oh so nears, robbed blind, muppet fuckery and how in the hell did we manage to lose that....pick your favourite day of doom....

It's incredible to think that was the only capacity crowd we had between the Stripeys in 1991 and Spurs in 1993.

I remember a conversation with you Mr Woodhall some years ago when you told me that was the first post League triumph sell out. Assume you mean Albion 81.
We must have been near sell out post promotion to Liverpool and ManU pre Spurs in 1993.
Free for season ticket holders. Nice touch. Hopefully the other tickets are reasonably priced also
I'm happy with that draw Stevenage at home I just hope like everybody else it's a Saturday 3pm kick off.
The fixture has been selected for extended highlights by the BBC, as well as live distribution overseas.
The absiolute shittest time of the weekend to go and watch football, wankers.

But this is our season to win that trophy

So that - 14-15 - would have been the last season we won a third round tie at the first attempt. Assuming we did win that without a replay...
Which reminds me, whatever happened to that half-arsed manager who thought he was famous?

1991, in a blizzard, standing in the open away end for my second and last visit to the old Plough Lane (the previous had been a mind numbingly dismal 0-0 earlier in the season for the league, but at least the weather was amenable for that one), soaked to the skin and freezing. Wimbledon winning it in the very last minute of ET after having just played long balls out of defence all night.
Then fell over in a puddle on the walk back to Wimbledon station.
Still look back on it with fondness now...
Wettest was when pre bankruptcy fiddle Leicester would not repair the holes in the roof over the away supporters. Water poured through the roof and the coppers and the stewards made sure it all came on our heads.

Away at Maine Road in early 1995 was a soaking as well. No cover whatsoever, and remember getting the train home absolutely sodden.
Didn't they give away macs like grannies wear on their heads at that game? Might just have been for the home fans. I remember having to leave, on police advice, via the pitch/home end as it was kicking off at the away exit.

Wasn't the trouble at Maine Rd usually less about their fans and more the locals turning up? Seem to vaguely remember something about that. Our kid had the quarter-bumpers knicked off his Capri Laser up there in '89.

I don't think it was on this occasion. I only ever went to Maine Road, once. The surrounding area made Aston seem like Beverly Hills, as I recall.
Was at that Wimbledon replay. Wore jeans; at the end could hardly walk with all the rain they soaked up .Felt like a Hell's Angel initiation ceremony.(if you know, you know)

The wettest game for me was Pompey away in 1998. No roof on the away end and a constant downpour.
Strange tie. We somehow got a draw despite being absolute toilet, then got booed off at Villa Park after winning the replay.
