We could have done a lot worse. The draw has been kind to us.

Any home draw is a good draw.
They'll be well pleased with another trip to a decent stadium.

Like Dover away?

That'd be quite a coach journey for you Hipster.

He would have to catch the midnight train from Georgia to make that game.

Boring draw. The FA Cup is dead to me.

Like your sex life?! 
Feel a song coming on....... Oh Well.

I'd have been bored shitless by this draw a few years ago but I really look forward to playing Wigan these days.

I'd have been less happy with Norwich away.

A good home draw a bit of needle no pleasing somefolk.

The Pie eaters will be up for this one. Should be fun. Neil v Malkay... just light the touchpaper and back off.

Decent enough draw I think. Certainly winnable. I feel quite optimistic that we could go an good run this year. I dunno why, I just think we might be standing on the verge of another "White Hot" era like when Bruce was in charge.

We don't have the players to go on a run.  Unless January produces unexpected influx of quality. Lennon is getting the best out of the current crop but he's not a magician. Mavis out again has cut any hope of creativity in the middle. Even Neil said he will be hard to replace.
We can get past Wigan though.

If we can get past Wigan the draw could be kind for us. You never know with the Cup but I think Wigan is certainly winnable at home. Last time we played them in the cup we beat them at the DW with a Klasnic winner iirc.
