Wiggles31 Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Pleased with that. No disrespect to Yeovil of course. Shame most PL teams have good draws too but if you wanna get to Wembley your gonna have to play a PL side at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Good draw for us, but not great overall - could be as many as 12 premier league sides in the last 16 including 7 of the top 9.

rickylambert Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 If all the teams we'd expect to go went through (Going by league position), this is what the last 16 would look like Norwich Man United Liverpool Man City Chelsea Palace Everton Arsenal Sheffield Wednesday Hull Forrest Brighton Huddersfield SAINTS Sunderland Cardiff So,12/16 are Prem teams 4/16 Championship teams So chances are we'll get a prem team presuming we beat Yeovil.

studentsaint Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Has anyone noticed how favourable the cup has been to us in recent years? Coventry away in 2012 has been our only away cup draw (from the 3rd round onwards) since bristol rovers in the 5th round in 2008 and even in that season we were at home in the 2 previous rounds. I remember when we got to the final in 2003 we had all home ties. I think these stats are right anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Home draws are always a good thing. It was strange watching the draw when they showed the shot from underneath the bowl.

Saint Benali Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Hopefully the club realise that if they charge £20 a ticket about 10 people will turn up. They need to make tickets about £10 max as no offence to Yeovil it is a zero glamour tie for us, and chances are it will be a lot of fringe players involved.

Saint Benali Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Can't see Moyes lasting much longer if those results keep happening. The whole 'transitional' period thing is a load of ********. They were champions last season and have the same players. If you look at their fixtures they have already played Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs at home. That's 4 home games already against the top 6. Or even worse 6 of the top 8 (not including themselves). It is only going to get worse when they have to start playing away games against the top lot. Already lost to Citeh and Liverpool away. No chance of them getting into the CL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we all know that not how it works in the cup. Ok so replace Man U with Swansea already. There are only a handful of teams I would not want to play. Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea Man City Everton So still a good chance of missing these and at home on our day, we could and have beaten these at home recently (man City, Liverpool, Chelsea all last season and drew with Everton and arsenal (should have beaten both). I do not think there should be anyone to fear apart from Man City away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 So with Man Utd and West Ham out, that's another two PL clubs biting the dust. West Ham absolutely humbled by Forest. OK, they apparently fielded a weakened team with half an eye on their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday, but I doubt that they will get much from City over 2 legs.

RedWillie Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 I know we have moved on a bit but didn't we play Yoevil in a cup match in last few years or so and they brought approx 4000 down.

Ah deflection, a last resort of the exposed! For me, the FA Cup lost its way years ago, the PL is by far the most prestigious club competition and the one every club wants to be in. The FA Cup is a shadow of its former self, and I personally couldn't give two ****s if we beat Burnley or not later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 (edited) Explained this all to you yesterday my fishy friend: I'd be hoping we won (obviously) but wouldn't be overly crestfallen if we didn't (hypothetically) win it. A top 6 finish in the PL is what I want to see us achieve this season, anything else (getting to quarter/semi finals of the FA Cup) I'd consider a bonus. We won't get anywhere near the final anyway, we'll draw Arsenal/Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City/Spurs etc. at some point and that'll be us out of the competition.: Edited 5 January, 2014 by BlakeySFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 Good home draw. Pleased with that, and with it being relatively local, Yeovil will bring a good following so could be a cup tie atmosphere to be had as well. Yeovil crap enough for you? Another cheap ticket and safe passage to round 5. Don't worry chaps, I expect Jos & Yoshida, if selected, will make it a close and interesting game.
