FA cup draw.

Who would you like to see us draw? I'd prefer a big club at home help with the window.

I don't think we've ever played Man Utd at home in the FA Cup or League Cup, we're overdue that one.
I'd rather get a minnow that we're likely to beat though

Blackburn?

A top Prem transfer home if we just want a pay day otherwise League 2 at home.

I wouldn't trust our lot to any team in the lower leagues, so lets go for a premier team. I'd rather get dicked by a big club than a minnow.

A trip to City at the Etihad would do me. We need the revenue.

I don't know if it changed in recent years but profits from cup matches used to be split equally three ways between the two teams and the FA - meaning it was often better for small clubs to give up home advantage (if they had been drawn out first) and play at a bigger ground somewhere else.

The best result for us would to draw United at Old Trafford and get a draw, meaning a second gate receipt at the Macron.

Then we could concentrate on the league!

Sluffy- us get a draw at United?
Have you been on the egg nog early this year?

We have drawn Huddersfield at home...

Just great. All their fans will be flooding across the Pennines. After thrashing them we'll likely get a tilt at ManU or Arse.

No big pay day for Ken in Round 3 then. Hopefully Huddersfield will turn out to be one of those clubs who throw the FA Cup to concentrate on avoiding relegation

Not a bad draw. Should be a decent turn out,and there's no real pressure. 

Got a feeling we'll be able to concentrate on the league after this one.

This is the sort of game we should be chomping at the bit for, nothing to lose against a team, come January, likely to be in the bottom three with other things on their minds. Let's get a full team out and give it a proper go at getting through to round 4.

You're right Nick. Lets just hope that were not in the same position, having to concentrate solely on the league. Otherwise, there's no reason we can't give it a good go.

My mate supports Huddersfield, he says last year they played a second eleven in every round even when they drew Man City. So we could have a chance.

That sounds like they were very successful, Wessy, if they fielded a second string in every round. Now I'm filling my nappy!

If we're going to beat them, we need to take advantage of being at home:- Huddersfield haven't even scored away from home since the opening game of the season, but their home form has been good.

You've done it now Okocha. You know how obliging we are
