Note quite Nostradamus, but not a million miles away.

Stevenage at home will do. But I think we will get a tough away draw like Southampton, or more likely the winner of the mancwankfest.

If you count Southampton as a tough away draw, you had a 50% chance of being right!

Imagine it'll be on the box...think the four tv games (assume it'll be at least that many) will be Arse/Leeds v us, Lpool v Man U, QPR/Dons v Chelsea, Brighton v Newcastle.

Righty-ho, if it's Arsenal, let's not throw in the towel like at Citeh last year, let's have a go.   They'll inevitably rest a few players. so let's be positive. 

There's no Citeh, one of Man Utd and Liverpool will be out, let's get rid of Arsenal and all of a sudden it starts to be a more winnable competition.

Well done that man!

It was 5 this round. Can't see there being any less.

Terrible draw assuming Arse get through their 3rd round tie.  If we put in the same showing as we did recently against them then we could win it.

They wont be thinking easy that's for sure.

"The question rattling around the sports desk right now: should Birmingham and Wolves be allowed to replay their game, or should they both be thrown out of the FA Cup for crimes against football?"

From The Guardian. Gotta chuckle.

Assuming that Arsenal progress to the 4th round, then we will be entitled to an allocation of 9,000 tickets at the Emirates.
