With Blues, West Brom, Coventry and Wolves in the draw, I’m sensing a derby day coming on…

i imagine we will be one of the hot balls as the sponsors will want the big clubs keeping apart in the 4th round



Yeah, just like they did with Arsenal and Liverpool in the last round.
since when have Arsenal been a big club  ;D

When Piers Morgan started supporting them 5 years ago ?

1981, when Highbury was packed out to see the title won ?

I'd like anyone who isn't a Prem side, just for something a bit different. Seems unlikely given half the teams left are Prem.

Like the idea of Wigan or Manchester United away sending the forum into a conspiratorial meltdown only for Wigan to win the third round tie.

They've win the league five and the FA Cup eleven times since we've won them so probably some time round about then.

It would be nice to draw Wrexham and absolutely hammer them. Downside would be the media wankfest if we did anything other than hammer them.

We don't want any more games abroad before March.

😁👏

Wrexham and their accompanying circus at home please, so we can smash them into next week.

It's a hiding to nothing, a game like that. Whatever happened the narrative would be about them. Which if we won wouldn't bother me, we're through, let the story be all about Hollywood FC and their brave efforts. But if we lost we'd look like twats and the media feeding frenzy would be unbearable

Is it just a continuation of the order the ties were drawn in the third round?

Yes, I think that is it. I seem to remember a lot of these teams being drawn at that point for the 3rd round. Blues were definitely last out

That would do. We want some dull, relatively straightforward games where we can rotate a bit/give some fringe players a bit more game time, before a home quarter final and a semi against Wigan, final against Man City where we funeral them and give Grealish a massive round of fucks.

Yep, that game before Christmas was easy and dull.  ;)

I agree though, something straightforward would be good, preferably a team that like to try and play football though, so we can punish them royally.
