FA CUP 4TH ROUND DRAW - MONDAY 19:50 (ish) (2 Viewers)

[slowpoke]

Noisest atmosphere I've heard was at Goodison when the teams walked out in May 98 when they were under threat from relegation.

Probably get a crappy away tie.

My favourite other ground, a proper traditional stadium.
Think this is its last season before they move to their new stadium.

Agree with Wrexham at home. They've been like this for a while now.

I'd love to banish the horrid memory from last year.

That game today was in Shrewsbury? they haven't learnt the meaning of the "big day out" chant have they

 

[procdoc]

I fucking despise Wrexham

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Doug wants a good cup run, wonder if he‘s got a deal on hotels with the playoff final being the day after the FA cup final.

Anyone at home but hopefully an easy one, get through the early rounds and the prize money counts massively which has to help Robins. £105k for yesterday, £120k next round…..

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

My FA Cup wish list is as followed:
- Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham or Man U, home or away
- Villa home or away as I’ve never experienced the rivalry
- West Ham away
- Wrexham so we can put them in their place

Other than that, literally anyone at home.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I've got a feeling it will be Norwich or Bristol Rovers away, hope not

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Prediction: Maidstone next round; followed by Eastleigh. Then all paths leading to a Coventry v Wigan final

 

[AOM]

Would like a good cup run this year so someone beatable please. Would like us to smash Wrexham.
If we are going to go out, at least be a higher end Premier League team home or away with a big following.

We'll probably get a Championship team away though

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Wrexham please...they were super lucky against Shrewsbury, and we owe them for last year's debacle.

 

[mmttww]

I want us to crush Maidstone's hopes and dreams on live TV at a packed CBS.

 

[Astute]

Don't want another Championship side. Makes it feel like a non event.

Home game for those clubs below us. Home or away for the Prem sides.

If so we would either have a game we should realistically win like Oxford or get to test ourselves against a good side. No shame in going out to a Prem side but a major boost if you win.

Edited for a side note ~ I had taken the display and 6-2 result for granted. After posting this I suddenly thought would I be happy to lose to a Prem side 6-2? No way. But Oxford are after promotion to the Championship. League 1 and Championship closer than Championship and the Prem.

I just hope we're as good as I think we are

What happens if you’re in both?

 

[Robinshio]

What happens if you’re in both?

very good point - would totally screw them - Lets do it, just to see what happens

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I mean hopefully common sense would prevail and one of the games gets moved.

Play em back to back, fuck it. One ticket two trophies.

 

[Macca1987]

I want us to progress as far as possible, so winnable games for the next two rounds, then we can have anyone after that, bit of extra money for DK coffers ready for the summer

 

[Greggs]

At home against anyone but a Championship team.

 

[mmttww]

At home against anyone but a Championship team.

Yeah, this is about right. I'd back us to give anyone a game at home with our first choice XI at the minute.

 

[nunchuckas]

Everton away, really want to tick of Goodison before they knock it down. Failing that, Newcastle away.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

You don't want those chavvy bunch of cocaine snorting, arrogant, boy racer types coming up to Coventry, trust me.

And that's just the girls.

Half a dozen of these Maidstone 'lads' ST holders play in the Sunday team I manage . I could walk to the ground if we are away so and aside from the plastic pitch it would be a stroll in the park as they are a very limited team.

 

[Houchens Head]

We're ball #27 in the draw.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

I fucking despise Wrexham

Fnally watching the Welcome To Wrexham shit show! Very cringe. The FA Cup game episode was bollox.....suggested they walked it....I still think we should have won that 7-4.

When we bought the big boys on we were walking through them even with 10 men. I think Robins knows he dropped a bollock and would be keen to give them a good thumping if we got them again.

Watching the the BBC FA cup highlights last night, I see Shay Given finally knows where Dublin is, sitting right next to him.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

only 15 Prem teams left, a few drawing each other again tonight and would be interesting but a long way to go for the champ teams chasing the playoffs

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Anything's possible with the right draws, look at Boro in the League Cup semis. Got there via Huddersfield, Bolton, Bradford, Exeter and Port Vale.

 

[SleepyGinger]

United at home providing they beat Wigan

 

[wingy]

Everton not that far off us either.

 

[nunchuckas]

Everton not that far off us either.

Yeah, would be a good test for us. Although they have been in good form in the prem recently, and would be 12th without the points deduction, so bit of a false position. Still would be good to test ourselves against a non top prem team. Selfishly, I just want to go to Goodison Park while I still can.

I went earlier in the season. Everton vs Bournemouth I thought I was running out of time but you have next season still.

They were in good form , they've lost last 3 league games I think.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

What happens if you’re in both?

Funnily enough, I mentioned this to my contact at the club last week. The PO final would likely get moved as the FA Cup would take precedence. The L1 and L2 PO Finals are the week before as well, not sure why as they're normally 3 days on the bounce aren't they.

Regardless of who gets to the PO Final - potential hotel choice could be mega-expensive. Some teams typically book their Cup Final hotel for the night of the match as well as the night before. They then either have a party to celebrate wining the cup or if they lose, use it as an end of season bash as the Cup Final is likely their last match of the season.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Selfishly, an away tie (but a winnable one at that).

 

[Tommo1993]

Everyone excited? Don’t forget your pencils.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Watch it be Wednesday away
