FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Crystal Palace at Home


saint lard

Recommended Posts

Tomorrow,7pm BBC 2......

 

We are number 36 in the draw.

Who would we like?

I do not want away to number 48....Portsmouth,could see us lose it,ridiculous I know but I'm not confident .

49....Eastleigh V the Skates would be interesting.

 

The season could quite easily become a bit of a nothing season so we really could do with a run in it.

However if we start to slide in the league perhaps our focus should be elsewhere. Thankfully there are 3 sides worse than us....at the moment.

 

Can we make it a hatrick of disappointing exits in the cup competitions this year.....Europe,League cup....FA cup?

**** it I want the Skates (at home so I can actually go will never get a ticket away) I want payback for the 4-1 a few seasons back plus bring the skates to SMS might actually make a atmosphere. Eastleigh would kind of be fun in a surreal way.

No interest in playing Pompey at all for least the next decade. They need it infinitely more than we do.

 

I want a League 2 side at home, failing that Forest or Derby or Chesterfield or Mansfield or Burton away. No idea if all of them are still in it.

BBC 2 at 7PM ????

 

WTF is all that about :?:

 

Have they shoe'ed in between a Cooking Repeat and a Gardening Programme?

 

Total lack of respect for what was once deemed to be the best Cup Competition in the world.

 

To be fair, the draw used to only be on a Monday up to 1999, on the radio around midday.

 

So at least the BBC are keeping with tradition and ensuring its on a Monday.

I get where you coming from the cash injection for them would surely be a benefit to them.... but as a club with only one proper rival I miss not having a proper derby match.

 

Don't fancy Eastleigh as an alternative?

DFCSBs at home. Give them a huge rogering that will swamp the two 4-1s combined, along with their 1-1 wins in the Championship which "denied us promotion" and "saved them from relegation." After their double digit humiliation their knuckle-dragging fans manage to run on to the pitch, giving their cesspit of a club a fine greater than their match/TV receipts.

 

They go home empty handed with their tails between their fins.

I thought it was still Monday lunchtime in 2003, as I recall slipping off to my car at that time to hear one of the draws.

It definitely was. It was "traditionally" on Monday lunchtimes until the advent of regular TV matches then it was moved to being tacked on to the end of the Sunday live match. Then for about three or four years the BBC moved it back to its traditional home of Monday lunchtime then they lost the coverage to ITV where it went back to after the Sunday match.

 

The current idea I think works pretty well and I'll be listening as I make the tea tomorrow.

We haven't beaten Portsmouth since 2005 and that needs to be put right.

 

Why would anyone not want them ? There will be a cup draw someday so let's get it on whilst they're in Div 4 , we're halfway up the league with players like Mane , Pelle , VVD , Vic & Tadic and more importantly have a manager that takes the cup seriously . There won't be a better time .

When was the last time we got a non league team in the cup? Certainly not in my time following saints and I'm

34 now. It'll prob be a championship side , often seem to get that in the 3rd round.

 

Luton 2010 home in the 3rd rd. Although we had previous league history with them, it doesn't seem quite the same as getting Whitehawk, Welling or Chesham.

Precisely. We need to put them in their place and ensure we havethe bragging rights for a decade ourselves, or hopefully even longer

Bury just for a day out with the cousins.

 

if not them why not our fishy friends - that'll get us the Monday night slot.

 

Monday night to give fans the day to drink and cause trouble? Not a chance, it'll be a 12:30 kick off, preferably at our place. Don't like the idea of going to theirs and their clogger players kicking lumps out of ours.

Because they'd get a share of the gate money?

Would be good to avoid any other Premier League or Championship clubs.

If not Skates or Eastleigh I reckon Oxford would be a decent draw.

Hopefully avoid Norwich away as we're going there the week before

It was indeed Monday lunchtime in 2003 as I watched it on tv in the bar at work, they've moved it all over the place before and since when various different tv companies got the rights. ITV managing to balls the draw up two rounds in a row last year was a highlight.

 

I want Saints to draw either the Skates, Eastleigh, Cardiff or maybe Newport, though I'm not sure I could quite handle that.

I want the crappest team left in the Competition at home.

 

And if we don't get Pompey, then I want the lowest ranked at home

 

Eastleigh are actually the lowest ranked team definitely through, though Salford and Whitehawk could yet make it too.

 

Any of this lot at home should be comfortable. Would rather avoid Salford City or Hartlepool in case the BBC decide to show it and move it to a Friday night.

 

45 Bradford City

46 Newport County

47 Peterborough United

48 Portsmouth

49 Eastleigh

50 Northampton Town

51 Exeter City

52 Doncaster Rovers

53 Grimsby Town or Shrewsbury Town

54 Yeovil Town

55 Bury

56 Carlisle United

57 Leyton Orient or Scun thorpe United

58 Wycombe Wanderers

59 Colchester United

60 Chesterfield or Walsall

61 Sheffield United

62 Salford City or Hartlepool United

63 Dagenham & Redbridge or Whitehawk

64 Oxford United

 

Bradford, Doncaster, Scun thorpe, Chesterfield (or Rotherham) away would be good for my assault on the 92 - assuming Newport don't get someone more interesting.
