FA Cup

[SUFCFARAWAY]

Afternoon.

Ok. I know this is very premature but just something I was thinking about. Say we get past Barnet on Saturday then win the 2nd round - what would you want in the third round?

Would you lot want a big Premier$hite team that could potentially be a big shock in the FA Cup and could be travelling to the likes of Anfield, Old Trafford or Highbury?

Or a lesser team from, say, League 1 or 2 that we could beat and get further along through the competiton thus generating more money from gate attendances and possible TV rights and coverage?


I have to go with the big team. It would be truely great to see us having to play the likes of Rooney, Henry or Gerrard either away or at home.

Whats your thoughts?

Having been Everton, Spurs & Sheff Wed in past season I can assure you there is nothing better than a massive team away.

Sheff Wednesday? Massive team - was I even born then!

Guess that was pre mid 90's

Assuming we win on Saturday - I'd like a (relatively) easy 2nd and 3rd round then a London based Premiers%&te club away in the 4th.

Yeah great, a nice non-league team in the 3rd round, with the possibility of a big London club on the horizon....draw the first game at home, but we get a second chance, the replay should be straight forward...sounds like a really horrible nightmare....

One of the so called "big clubs" at home will do nicely in rounds 3 or 4.

From the 3rd round on the magic of the FA Cup for clubs like us is always in drawing the biggest team possible IMHO.

Man Utd at home, to beat them and Fergie to quit!

Repressed memories have been brought back up. Need to phone from psychologist!

Chasetown or Merthyr away

 

[Mad Cyril]

I would like a small club in dire financial difficulties and would like to eliminate them six-nil.

West Ham would do.

 

[TrueBlue]

Liverpool away quality! or West Ham

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

Would love to get the Hammers actually and beat them. My cousin would never live that down who plays for them! Can you guess who it is?

Man Utd away - score a last minute equaliser to take them back to the Hall. Replay - we're trailing 1-0 going into the last minute before the Goat bangs in an equaliser, followed by a Freddy winner deep into injury time. Queue mass celebration and pitch invasion as the blues are carried off the pitch above shoulders.

To be honest I haven't had time to think about who I would like!!

No one is close

Give you a clue - he still plays for them now. And basically won them promotion to the Premier$hite last season in the playoffs!
