Minsk Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 What I want: home to Hull, Coventry or Millwall/Rochdale (possibly Brum City) What I REALLY want to avoid: away (or home to that matter) to either Manchester team, Chelsea or Spurs (if we have to get one of them I would prefer the latter) What I expect (barring away to one of the above): given our next couple of matches - Brighton or WBA Thinking about it (but not wanting it) a home tie against Leicester could be interesting........ I called it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 It traditionally always used to be on a Monday evening, back in the 'good old days', didn't it? Or are my aging memory cells playing tricks on me? I thought it was done on a Monday lunchtime? Not an easy draw, WBA looked good against Pool and look to have their tails up.

mrfahaji Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Ideally we'd get Liverpool or Burnley, so that Pellegrino could use one of the games to assess what tactics are needed for the second match a week later. But they're both out, so looks like the Pelican will have to make do with WBA who we play 2 weeks before. Well there you go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forester Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Could be a lot worse, must back our chances of getting at least a replay. Am there this Saturday, but will be out of the country for the cup weekend. What is overseas coverage typically like of FA cup matches?

Disco Stu Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Probably similar feelings from both sets of fans. Winnable...but not the best.

Probably... A delay of pretty much a whole tie, in my favour, between 5L digital radio in my kitchen (me) and satellite TV in the lounge (Mrs Sandwich). Whoever said technology will be the death of the nuclear family needs to tune into RT 'now' if they want to see Robbie and Ruud releasing their big balls in (fake) real time.

JRM Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 I did notice the big clubs all missed each other. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Not just avoided each other but also got comfortable draws , tv companies have paid a lot of money to ensure there are at least Man Utd , Spurs, Chelsea and Man City in the last 8. Millwall v Spurs could be a good one, otherwise a very dull draw really. Apparently last time Brighton got to the cup final they also went down? Last 8 will be: Man Utd Man City Spurs Chelsea Brighton Leicester Sheffield Wednesday WBA In my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxury at the big clubs, no wonder so many of our want(ed) out. They have to freeze their balls off with Saints while Klippity FC have personal ball warmers!
