Makes no difference, the likelihood I mean.

Superb stuff, amfy.

A Villa/Preston Qtr final would be superb, two of the founders.

I heard on the radio today, that if you took out the two Manchester clubs, the last time anyone else left in the competition won the cup was Ipswich in 1978.

And before that it was Forest in 1959. So 1 win in 65 years for the other teams.

When we made the final in 2015 all our matches were home ties Blackpool, Bournemouth, Leicester, West Brom on way to the semis and final which were both at Wembley

I’m seeing the same again.

As number 2 the balls will be poured in and we one of the first to be entering the hat .

Now after the shuffle there is a good chance we’ll be draw out within the first two ties.

1. Preston North
2. Aston Villa
3. Crystal Palace
4. Manchester United or Fulham
5. Brighton & Hove Albion
6. AFC Bournemouth
7. Manchester City
8. Nottingham Forest/Ipswich Town

Its all 6’s and 7s the way do the draw shuffle so I’ll have to merely guess it’ll be Bournemouth or Manchester City

What time do they need to take the 115 ball out of the freezer?

A very Villa thing will be Fulham to win and we get Man City away.

As I mentioned to you in the last round, predicting we might be drawn out in the first two rounds is a 50/50 chance, which isn't much insight.

I already have forecasted Emery will win this FA cup as I convinced winning a trophy this season.
I don’t think people can keep changing their prediction after this round.
If people are waiting to vote because of the draw that’s their prerogative but any who belong to the theory our names on the cup then vote it’s our year!

But forecasting the draw is an interesting one.
And enjoying seeing people predicting though as I said I think have to take into account ball number and how the balls land in the bowl

I like the high percentage who are with my thinking and utter belief Villa will win the cup this year !

Looking forward to the draw. Though I see it’s not just now it’s after Man Utd vs Fulham!

Brighton can play Bournemouth for south coast bragging rights.
The two scummy clubs can play one another so we don't have to hear anymore talk of yet another all-Manc final.
Palace can go to Forest, where hopefully they'll get knocked out so we don't have to face them again this season.
We are drawn at home to PNE.
