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

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Had a bollocking off the wife for shouting
'FUCKING HELL' in earshot of the nipper, when we got Man City.

Poxy bastard Dog shit getting Sheff Wed at home.

Quite apart from the fact that it's one of the worst draws we could have got, it'll mean another midweek evening trip and the associated travel problems. County's website confirms the reply date as 5th Round weekend.

At least this means we'll be in the hat for the 6th round draw!

[The Situation]

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?

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?

Which didn't actually happen.

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.

O RLY?

We woz robbed by a balls up quite literally.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I think a win up there is a tall order.

But if we get a replay, then at our place we could take them.

[Toronto Villa]

speaking of luck of the draw, I bet many Fulham fans playing Spurs at home thought they could have been luckier and got lower league opposition. Right now their tearing Spurs, who have every bit as impressive as Man City this season a brand new one. This could be any score as they've just hit the bar.

Having watched Notts County-Citeh this afternoon, I'd actually be pleased in the first instance to avoid going to Meadow Lane.

If it is a trip to Eastlands, let's give it a crack.  Last weekend showed that with a "We Will Prevail" attitude on the pitch - and a bit of luck, we can compete against them.

It can't be random if they get easy draws at home all the time.

So what you are saying is that for some surreal and unfathomable reason the FA and The Football League have conspired with a host of "celebrities" to award Birmingham City with easy home draws in this year's cup competitions?

Admit it Dave, you're one othe suckers that believe the draw is live. It's all done with cgi controlled by the Triads.

Fulham 2-0 Spurs. Two pens for Murphy, and Dawson sent off

Would have been good for us if we hadn't just been given the worst possible draw.  Still good to Spurs out though.

The ball does 24. It's a shit looking number 4 but it's a 4 nonetheless.

Have you given consideration to the fact that Man City might be thinking - "fuck, we just drew Aston Villa?" A team that is improving rapidly, and just beat us? And those jammy bastards Man U just drew Crawley.

I'd have rather had two shape shifting lizards do the draw, than Ruddock, who seems to be morphing into Geoff Capes and that Happy Shopper David Baddiel.

[avfcpg]

What a pants draw...

Hopefully they will still be in the top four shake up and play a secondish string side...Adam Johnson crocked for 3 months as well.

Get a few of the new boys up to scratch and who knows, we'll give them a game that's for sure..

Indeed. The main issue with this piss-poor conspiracy theory is that Middlesbrough's number 25 ball was then brought out later in the draw.

Unless Mr Situation 'rly' thinks that they put two numbers 25s in the bowl just to mean a higher chance of the tedium of yet another Villa vs. Man Utd FA Cup game. And why would they do that?

[Dave]

Fulham or Tottenham v Bolton or Wigan

Man Utd v Crawley

Everton or Chelsea v Reading

Leyton Orient v Arsenal

Birmingham City v Sheff Wed

Stoke City v Brighton

Notts County or Man City v Aston Villa

West Ham v Burnley

West Ham Blues Stoke and the top 5 left in then.

This must be one of the quickest predictions to go spectacularly wrong.
