F.A. Cup 5th Round - away to Man City or Notts County

[spangley1812]

I reckon we wont play our next FA cup game until the 12th of March if City get through

[Jimbo]

Shit draw, but what can you do? You're either good enough to win the thing or you ain't.

[Dave]

Any particular reason why the Knuckle Draggers ALWAYS get easy teams at HOME?

It is beyond ridiculous how lucky they're in draws. Why do neanderthals who play hoofball get rewarded?

Because it's a random draw?

BREAKING INJURY NEWS
Man City's England winger Adam Johnson will be out for three months with ankle ligament damage. Johnson didn't play for City against Notts County today - he was injured in training in midweek.

At least he can't play, he was their best player when he came on last week at VP.

Just need Hart, Tevez, Kolarov, Dzeko etc to follow suit.

crap draw for us!! hope we play better than our last visit to wastelands

[TheSandman]

Why so defeatist?

No one is unbeatable. Certainly not Man City, by us or Notts County. We CAN beat them just as Notts County could beat us. Man up, grow a pair, throw whatever shit meaningless cliched phrase you would like at it but when you walk into that stadium you don't know what will happen.

Gutted with the draw in general, as we have been royally shafted by it. Been that kind of season.

[Legion]

We'll beat them. It's our year.

[TimTheVillain]

Shit draw, but we can beat Citeh.......we have no Bent this time though.

It's Blues' season this one.

[Chatters]

Not the draw I was hoping for, but its not as if we're guaranteed to be playing City.

If it is City, we shouldn't be going there with the defeatist attitude some on here seem to be showing. We've beaten them this season already and although they gave us a hiding at their place in December, we're a different team to then (and so are they).

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me. Grow some balls.

Well, you're no romantic but I must admit there's something intriguing about your direct approach. Meet me behind the ice rink for some fingering.

I hope you're a bird. If not, I'll have to pass thanks all the same. And why the ice rink? Oh I get it. You think I'm Canadian or something - right?

It wasn't necessarily a serious offer.

phew...The fact that you'd actually transfer a thought such as that so readily into print had me worried for a minute.

Just like it was random draw when we should of played Middlesboro instead of United 3 years ago because the person drawing the balls couldn't read?

I'm sorry, they've got very very lucky with cup draws. It's sad they get rewarded for being Birmingham City. It can't be random if they get easy draws at home all the time.

Fucking Coventry, why didn't you beat those dickheads!

How crap was ITVs coverage of the draw??!
At the start they picked out "significant" numbers, and used that word.. so what.. does that make the rest of the teams involved insignificant? They showed their "significant" 5 numbers in a graphic which could so easily have had all 16 numbers on it, but opted for a big blank empty area under their 5 "significant" teams.

Then as the draw progressed, they listed 10 numbers on the side with a picture of the FA Cup next to them. They could so easily have listed all 16 teams if they didnt have the cup pictured (which was also on the other side). As the teams were drawn out that were on display, the area went blank when they could have replaced them with other teams that werent on the screen.

I just dont get how pathetic it was, it felt like they had no time to prepare and put together a presentation in 5 minutes.

[Toronto Villa]

Bloody hell. Are people seriously considering the people pulling balls out of a bag have a bias towards Birmingham? Unbelieveable.

Which didn't actually happen.

It can. And it is.
