FA Cup 4th Round Draw

[quattro]

hopefully we'll get some nationwide stragglers so we can give the likes of henry a day off come match day.

i find the drawing system for the fa cup strange. why draw every round? doesn't it have a seeding system? i mean, last year we beat united en route to the finals, but thats whats strange about it since im assuming arsenal and united are the top 2 seeds in the league. can anyone enlighten me on this?

nah theres no seeding. just a random draw every round. thats the beauty of the fa cup. anyone can get anyone thats why its so good cos anyone can win it rather than just having the same couple of teams battle it out in the final every year cos they get the best draw from seedings. this makes it possible to have big games such as when we played manure early. they draw it random every round, this makes it possible for div 3 and non league teams to make it to the 3rd round to potentially get glamour teams earning them loads of money as they may play similar teams early rather than get one game against a high seed.

What time is the draw lads?

Telford FC all the way kids. At Highbury. Be nice to give the whole first team a break.

If not .... Liverpool, who are similarly rubbish. Cheating ****s. I can't believe how much they were diving .... against Yeovil for ****s sake. Disgraceful.

Bring on Man Utd!!!!!!

 

[Soler]

Wouldn't mind if we got Telford or Accrington.

 

[Aussie]

Yeahh wouldnt mind man u
Would love to knock them out

Hopefully some poor team at Highbury, don't wanna face a good team just yet

Telford, Luton, Swansea, Coventry, Gillingham, Burnley, Millwall, Nottingham, Ipswich, Sunderland, West Ham... at Highbury. But I'd prefer Watford.

 

[vin de guerre]

To be honest dont mind who we get. I would actually like to see Accrington home to Manure and beat em! :twisted:

What time is the draw lads?

Its at 1pm today. I think it is live on SkysportsNews, but if not it will definitely be on the radio-909/693 MW.

 

[Eastrek]

It's live on BBC2 aswell!

I'd like Southend (persuming they come through their replay) away because I wouldnt have to make the 2 hour journey to Highbury just the 20minute walk to Roots Hall.

Personally I think if we get a home draw we will beat anyone including Man United, Chelsea, Newcastle etc.....

Wouldn't fancy a trip to Old Trafford or St James so early this season!
