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

Well we will get a good number of tickets given the capacity.

Of course it will be live on TV as well. I can't remember the last time a Man Utd FA cup tie was not televised.

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.

I have been trying to caciulate these odds - but its been too long.  Am I right including this - in the last 20 years we have drawn them 5 times in the third round?

How many tickets would be get for this?

I have heard 12 K under cup rules, but I may be wrong.

Did Darlington take United's number? If we had played United I wouldn't have wasted so much money going to Wembley.

United are nothing to worry about. Stevie G will have it sussed. This isn't the Fergie team of previous years.

Good to know we will remove Manchester United from the early rounds of the FA Cup as they could pose a problem in the later rounds as they seem to get a bit stronger.  We will be too strong and workmanlike for them.  Shame but someone has to lose.  Might as well be Manchester United.

It should be about ten but you can guarantee we won't get that many.

[BC Villain]

They'll  be more worried than us.

I doubt it

I couldn't remember but it seems not.

Must be a few years since we won twice at Old Trafford in the same season.

[Jon Crofts]

Too many people writing us off already for my liking.

[Meanwood Villa]

Couple of observations. There is no conspiracy, it is the luck (or not) of the draw.

I also understand people being optimistic, of course we can win the game but there's a smaller chance than if we had drawn any of 60 other clubs in the competition. So I am monumentally pissed off with it.

[SoccerHQ]

Are replays still a thing?

Haven't actually played them for a while in the cup but would love to know the draw simulator odds given we must've played them about 4-5 times in 3rd round in last 20 years.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Is Bert Millichip back at the FA?

It's 9k. The usual stuck in the corner bit as for the league and then get the Upper tier behind the goal at that end.
