saint lard Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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?

You forget Chelsea.
ericofarabia Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk **** 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.
Batman Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Pompey at home please. failing that, the lowest ranked side at home no doubt, we will get a tricky away day to somewhere like Derby or Boro
Mr Biscuits Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Eastleigh would be great, 90 minutes of both sets of fans singing about the w*nkers down the road!

Colinjb Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Skates at home. Chance to get our confidence up.
CB Fry Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
yellow&blue Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
The Cat Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Pompey away please. It would easily be the most exciting game we could have.
simo Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 The skates , Eastleigh or id like to Slaford a spanking

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. 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?
LGTL Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Skates away. Either that or an away game at a ground I haven't been to.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 We haven't beaten Portsmouth since 2005 and that needs to be put right.
Pilchards Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Liverpool away please so we can slip out the cup quietly and not embarrass ourselves against a **** team in the 3rd round or in any later rounds. History tells me that we are not a cup winning team.
Dark Munster Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.

So at least the BBC are keeping with tradition and ensuring its on a Monday. 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.
CB Fry Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
jamesfp1 Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Cant see us beating anyone at the moment but any saints fan would say Pompey.
St Lej Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
John Boy Saint Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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 .
Lets B Avenue Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
Graffito Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Liverpool away please so we can slip out the cup quietly and not embarrass ourselves against a **** team in the 3rd round or in any later rounds. History tells me that we are not a cup winning team. History tells me we won it.

There won't be a better time . Precisely. We need to put them in their place and ensure we havethe bragging rights for a decade ourselves, or hopefully even longer
Saints Fan Dan Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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.
Minsk Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Skates at home please! Really don't want us to get Eastleigh. Save that for the final.
fanimal Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 I want to beat them, but I don't want a dirty skate sat in my seat again and have to watch that TWAB.
Whitey Grandad Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 Why would anyone not want them ?

There won't be a better time . Because they'd get a share of the gate money?
JRM Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 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
Pilchards Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 History tells me we won it. out of 325 cup competitions we have entered we have won two, hardly gives us a chance this year does it?
Graffito Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 out of 325 cup competitions we have entered we have won two, hardly gives us a chance this year does it? So here's some good news. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The9 Posted 6 December, 2015 Posted 6 December, 2015 It definitely was.

The current idea I think works pretty well and I'll be listening as I make the tea tomorrow. 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.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Easiest possible draw at home, obviously.
Saints foreva Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Because they'd get a share of the gate money? Can't imagine it would be that much money tbh.
yellow&blue Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 It'll be Liverpool away, we'll get hammered so then we can concentrate on the league.....
alehouseboys Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 This skate wants us... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-paul-cook-says-bring-on-southampton-1-7102836
Hatch Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 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
The9 Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 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.
The9 Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 it will be Liverpool away. It won't be. (Odds are comfortably in my favour here).
