Who Do We Want In The Draw

[Gemmel]

Can't see any other posts on it - I think we are number 8.

 

A win for a place in the quarter finals

[stevegrant]

Fulham away

[sandwichsaint]

Don't really care, will probably go to a home game if they price it right. Would prob go away anywhere south of Brum. Don't even know who is in it?

[Griffo]

Burnley away.

[Gemmel]

Can't believe the apathy on here considering this is by far our best chance of reaching Europe. Is it something to do with the Prem? This would have been a 4 page thread started the moment the final whistle went last night when we were in league one.

 

Is this cup really meaningless these days?

[Viking Saint]

is the draw tonight?? anyone know??

[Saint-Armstrong]

London away day.

[dan17]

Yes tonight

[Mikey88]

It would have to be Burnley away for me as well!

Think it's because the games are played so early in the season (for Prem clubs anyway). The focus of fans is still very much on the league atm, the FA Cup is the one that really fires people's imaginations because of the prestige and the fact that it's the chance to see your team lifting a trophy at Wembley at the end of the season instead of mid-way through.

is the draw tonight?? anyone know??

 

...and when's the next round?

[S-Clarke]

...and when's the next round?

 

The draw is on sky tonight, after the conclusion of the live game. And it's usually the last week of October.

For us to move to the magical next level, we need to be winning pots, and this is our best chance to kick on. Trophies galvanise support and raise profiles! COYR!...

Home to Burnley would be my choice. On paper, the most winnable.

Sunderland at home for me.

[Doctoroncall]

Away to Peterborough... Oh, Norwich then... Buggėr!

 

nice easy home game then.

[Griffo]

Is the draw on the same channel as United Liverpool was or is it on Sky Sports News?

Sky sports news

[stevegrant]

Probably shown on both. Definitely on SS1 though.

[Gorgiesaint]

As usual, home game preferably against a weak team - but not sure there's many non-Prem teams left.

[Griffo]

On Sky Sports News they just said draw being shown on SS1.

Only Burnley, Leicester, and Birmingham.

 

The rest: Saints, Tottenham, Hull, Man City, Sunderland, Chelsea, Norwich, West Ham, Fulham, Man United, Newcastle, Stoke, West Brom or Arsenal.

[Jonnyboy]

We ain't gonna win it with all those top 6 teams still in it.

[so22saint]

away to Sunderland then

[Shroppie]

Sunderland away. Wonderful. I may possibly not be going.

[Supersubpuckett]

crap draw

[Saint_clark]

Winnable game, shame it's away otherwise I probably would go.

[Georgie]

Urgh. It's still a good chance to progress though. Although can't see us taking many at all up there

[Minsk]

Away to Sunderland then... meh.

[Toon Saint]

Quick hop on the metro from Jesmond. Lovely stuff.

[Asaint4ever]

Boring! But winnable

[Saintandy666]

Well, its certainly easily winnable. We will need to put out more than the B team though.

[Griffo]

Excellent. Hoping there's less than 100 of us there.

[SuperMikey]

Shame it wasn't closer otherwise I would have gone, can't justify a trip to Sunderland on a weeknight in the cup! Winnable game though and puts us into the Quarter Finals if we go through...

[Saint-scooby]

Bummer kids will be dead if I take them up for that....

[Shroppie]

When is it?

[hutch]

Bummer kids will be dead if I take them up for that....

Is that legal?

[sandwichsaint]

Excellent. Hoping there's less than 100 of us there.

 

About as meh as it gets, one for the SuperFans only.

Um, no-one gives a toss about the FA Cup until the quarter-finals either nowadays. The prestige is practically non-existent as well. The 5:15pm final kick off time and integration within the league calendar on the same weekend as matches haven't helped.

Happy with the draw

[Sour Mash]

How long do you think we'll have to wait for the date of this to be confirmed?

 

How likely is it that the game could be brought forward a week? Would be fairer in Sunderland than playing on the Tuesday of the allocated week.
