The Emirates FA Cup third-round draw is due to take place on Monday.

The third-round ties are due to be played on and around the weekend of 10 January 2026.

I think Unai will be focused on the league* and Europe, so we may not give the FA Cup our fullest attention this year. Out in the 4th round.

*If we're still top 3 or 4 come mid-January.

Don't care, we are never winning it again.

Used to be my favourite bit of the season. Time for a new jaunty hat,a rosette, a silver foil fa cup. Now? A shrug at the impossible dream.

[rob_bridge]

Of course we are going to win it.

In the way Jo Swinson was going to be PM

[The Man With A Stick]

The way the season is panning out, I don't think we'll put a lot of effort into this.

[eamonn]

Cam we enter the World Cup draw tomorrow instead? I fancy our chances more.

I'm still wounded after last season I think I'd prefer us to go out in the 3rd round. Just saves time and indeed hope.

[dcdavecollett]

I hope we'll go as far as we can every year.

I hated it when we went years without winning a single tie.
