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.
Please not Wrexham , I don't want to be an extra on Netflix for them

Quite right, I always had you pictured as more of a leading man.

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

Anyone that results in a Thursday or Friday night or Saturday lunchtime or 3.00pm home tie. Anything outside that I'm going to struggle to get there. I have an inkling it will be Cov away. Obviously exactly as reliable as anyone else's inklings !

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

What I don't want:
- a local derby
- one of Liverpool or the Manchester clubs
- a hiding-to-nothing lower league opposition such as Wrexham

Home game against a bottom half Premier League/Championship side with no media cheerleaders would suit perfectly.  Southampton or Blackburn would be just fine.

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.

Preferably another team that we played on the way to the 1957 final. Luton or WBA at home would be fine.

I think Bristol City featured around this point or a bit later in proceedings, as well.
They’re still a possibility until this afternoon as I can’t see them getting past West Ham, but the Cup’s often about surprises and ‘magic’, so…

Oh dear, I seem to have jinxed the Hammers.

And if we do get a home draw, the club learns from the mistakes of the Everton Carabao Cup tie and don't rip us off, resulting in a poor turnout.
