FA Cup 3rd Round - ManUre (A) Monday 10.1.22 7.55pm KO

[aldridgeboy]

5th time in the third round since 2001.
Along with various draws like Spurs, Man City , Liverpool and Arsenal in rounds 3 and 4

I guess the counter argument is we’ve had the likes of Swansea and Peterborough and still lost.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We'll be beating them twice in a week. PL game at Villa Park on Jan 15th.

Are people saying the whole draw was fixed to create such an uninspiring set of fixtures or was just ours fixed?

The tin foil hat wearing version of me is saying thats it.

Byes for most of the Scab 6
1 is risked in glitzy tie - Villa are good for that - Big name, but never going to win

"Big name.". For most people, we're not a big name. Anyone under 50 doesn't remember the glory days of the 1980s, or has knowledge of football history. "Never going to win". We beat them last month. We can do it again. It's the best chance we've had of knocking them out of the cup in donkeys years.

[montague]

5th time in 21 3rd round draws. Was 4 in 7 from 01/02

It's not great at all. I just knew David Seaman was going to pick number 3 when Man Utd came out.

However, there are replays in Round 3 and Round 4 of the FA Cup this season.

So the last time we beat them in the FA Cup was 1957 you say.

Whisper it, but I think it might be our year...

[Big Ming]

Man United away.

Again.

It's like they put a magnet on the fucking balls.

Of course were a big name - beyond the scab 6 - not many with a bigger following and tv revenues. And you get players like G Nev come out and do the tenious link to Ryan Giggs goal in the Semi Final at Villa Park

I think if we beat them, we win the thing.

Look its obviously not a fix.  But I could almost believe it was.

[Richard E]

At one time my ambition was to live to see us win the FA Cup. Now it’s to live to see us win an FA Cup tie.

[Dave P]

How many tickets would be get for this?

[Brend'Watkins]

It will be my first away game of the season I hope. Awful draw though.

[Demitri_C]

Joke screwed again. Who at the fa hates us?

[lovejoy]

I’m guessing Millwall Palace won’t be the same day as West Ham Leeds. Just a hunch.

[Exeter 77]

If you want to extend the conspiracy theory we would have drawn them in 1999/2000 but the FA insisted they play in the World Club Cup so we played Darlington who went back in to the draw as a lucky loser in Round 2.

They'll  be more worried than us.
