FA Cup 5th round draw thread (Sunderland Away)

[SaintBobby]

Brighton at SMS, no question.

[Manuel]

The easiest team for now, while we get the team back to full strength. Sheffield Wednesday?

Is Mandaric still chairman there ?

 

Just to a bit of spice to it.

[Goalie66]

Wigan away

[DuncanRG]

It still annoys me massively that they have the semis at Wembley. I like the idea of having them at neutral venues but they should really be at grounds like Old Trafford, Villa Park etc where possible.

[Dr Who?]

I would like Wednesday at home, but we will probably get Chelsea away.

 

Would take any team at home apart from Chelsea, arsenal and man city.

[rshephard3]

We will get Liverpool

 

Correct. Liverpool it will be. Had a feeling about it all day. Would love to smash Brighton in their cup final at the Amex though.

[Monk]

Anyone at home.

[Crazy Diamond]

Charlton away.

 

Purely cos I've never been and it's now a fairly local fixture for me.

[Patrick Bateman]

Brighton or Charlton home or away please.

 

This Chelsea - Stoke match is INCREDIBLY dull. No atmosphere either, zzzzz

Watched about 25 minutes of the first half...absolutely atrocious. In fact it would probably be better if the FA put the Cup into midweek and left the League programmes on week-ends. That's the way all the other main football nations do it. You'd probably get better cup games without most sides looking to do the minimum to win and not get injured for their league game 2 days later.

They have to be at Wembley to pay for its reconstruction. Ironic really, they build a new Wembley in order to increase its capacity and then they have to sell 17,500 seats to corporate leases in order to pay for it.

[derry]

Careful what you wish for, Sheff Utd's pitch reminded me of the sixties, a mud heap. There could be a few more like that lower down. Lower league team at SMS for me.

Add to that, the ridiculous situation where each club gets over 31,000 tickets for the semi, then just 25,000 for the final.

[adysaint]

Am I the only person who hates it when they say: "Here's some balls to look out for..." and put the numbers up?

 

It spoils it IMO. I press the 'mute' button and use a piece of card to cover up that side of the screen.

 

I wish they'd say: "Look away now" like they do on the news.

[SaintSteve]

Man City at home then we can get rid of them before a Neutral ground round...

[Saint86]

I'd like sunderland at home, and for everyone to kick the actual crap out of their players.... propper cup tie like.... But with a score to settle.

 

Injure enough of them and we can get fair payment for them, poyet, and hopefully get the bastard relegated.

[doubleonothing]

Right here we go!

[Saint Garrett]

Here we go.......

[Saint_clark]

Number 3 arent we?

[Simples]

1 Sunderland,

2 Cardiff City,

3 Southampton,

4 Charlton Athletic,

5 Brighton & Hove Albion,

6 Nottingham Forest or Preston North End,

7 Hull City,

[Sour Mash]

I might have missed something, but why is Townsend's father involved in it?

[John Boy Saint]

Saints Number 3 apparently if not mentioned elsewhere

[SNSUN]

Unlucky 13 for someone...

[Saint_clark]

City or chelsea going out next round

[RedArmy]

Cracking draw so far. The big 4 drawn against each other.

[The Kraken]

I think he's involved with Kick it Out.

Rubbish draw

[Stu Man Do]

How exciting not. 4 times against them this season! Yawn.

[Lighthouse]

With the big boys drawing each other we've got a decent chance now. Christ knows we owe Sunderland one.

[Mowgli]

Defeat followed by draw followed by.......

[obelisk]

Another chance to beat the buggers then.

[Ohio Saint]
