Topic: FA Cup draws

[sinnermichael]

The draw takes place tomorrow night on BBC2. Who do we want then?

Really, we just want any lower league team so we can put the kids out. I doubt Klopp really gives a damn in this season of all seasons.

The reality is we're drawing a Premier League team away from home whilst Man City draw Chorley at home.

2 Arsenal
3 Aston Villa
4 Barnsley
5 Birmingham City
6 Blackburn Rovers
7 Brentford
8 Brighton & Hove Albion

10 Burnley
11 Cardiff City
12 Chelsea
13 Coventry City
14 Crystal Palace
15 Derby County
16 Everton
17 Fulham
18 Huddersfield Town
19 Leeds United
20 Leicester City
21 Liverpool
22 Luton Town
23 Manchester City
24 Manchester United
25 Middlesbrough
26 Millwall
27 Newcastle United

[ConqueredAllOfEurope]

Surely we use the FA Cup to give our 1st team a potential 6/7 day rest?

[CHOPPER]

Everton, home or away. Impose more misery on the sad twats, then fluff our lines in the next round, as per.

[OOS]

Hope we get Marine.

[dudleyred]

Chorley at home please

[FlashingBlade]

Marine..gotta be Marine..away!!

[redgriffin73]

Marine or Chorley would be great. It'll be Everton or Man Utd.

[redgriffin73]

Btw it's on BBC1 not 2 I think.

[DelTrotter]

Someone really bad please so we can play kids and still go through easy. Be stunned if it's not one of Utd, Chelsea, Leicester or Spurs though. At least we won't get City, that's a plus.

[dudleyred]

Oh god

The one show ?!?

[redgriffin73]

Oh god

The one show ?!?

Before it thankfully!

[Andy-oh-six]

Will have to play the kids whoever we draw.

[Bangin Them In]

This still being played ?

Play the Under 21 team, the whole team

[slaphead]

As long as Jermaine Jenas doesn't pop up and do the draw I'll take anyone. Fucker is everywhere else

[Caligula?]

Marine, whoever the fuck they are, at Anfield 

[kezzy]

I want a home drawer against Marine.  Seen photo’s before of their goalie going the offy after the game in his kit to get the ale in and take it back to the ground for the players to have a bevvy.   Fuckin class that.  😀 it’s a nap we’ll get Chelsea or Yernited away while City get Marine or Chorley at home.  In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if whichever one City get then the other one gets a bye to the next round so that City can get them then.  They’ll then get Burton at home in the 5th round, 6th round and semi final. 

[Brain Potter]

Marine or Chorley.

[buttersstotch]

Don't mind who we get, but would like a home draw.

Can't see anyway we don't play a patched up team/U23s for this one. January is absolutely brutal for fixtures, I'm deffo sure we play the U23s with a few Origi, Kostas, Minamino etc. getting a game.

We'll be playing the kids, no doubt.  Can't see Klopp sending out any senior players unless they desperately need a game. 

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Send the U8s

[John C]

This is exciting. Can't be arsed going 30 years without winning the FA Cup so a clean 15 years will do nicely. This would be another special one to see Jurgen hold and smile at.

It would be boss for Jurgen this trophy even if he doesn't quite know it yet.

[Reeves]

I hope we put out a reserve / youth team all competition. Can’t afford anything else this season

[farawayred]

By that logic, we can only afford the U18 team as the U21 would be needed for the PL campaign. And we'll still eliminate City...

[farawayred]

Send the U8s

For a moment, I thought you missed a "1". But then I realized, you are absolutely right! 

[GreatEx]

Send the U8s

nah, they'd just pick up 15-year injuries. Have we got any cardboard cut-outs left from the 'Rona crowd?

[Fromola]

Not arsed. We'll have to sacrifice the domestic cups yet again because of the ridiculous schedule and an injury crisis.

Maybe we'll draw shit at home through to Wembley like City every year and our kids will get us through.

[rocco]

Handy as possible at home , play the u23s hopefully

[I've been a good boy]

We'll get Chelsea away while Abu Dhabi get someone like Stevenage at home. I wouldn't have minded us going for this cup this season as we always bin it off but injuries say no. Rather we focus on the League and Champions League.

[JackWard33]

Christ

[killer-heels]

The first team should be nowhere near this competition.

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Marine, whoever the fuck they are, at Anfield 

Wind up I'm guessing? If not have a look on Google Maps.
Lots of reds (and blues) have a lot of time for Marine and other local non league clubs.

[Dougle]

Derby at home, watch this space.

[cashmere pringle]

The Mighty Marine please

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Lower league at home, nice experience for the kids and confidence boost for some fringe players.

[wampa1]

As I live right near Chorley's ground, Liverpool there would be the dream.

[disgraced cake]

Marine would be the dream wouldn't it. A lower league side at home would be nice, league 1 or 2, maybe even spawn some non-leaguers. That'd be another good chance for some of the U23 and U18 lads to get some experience.

[oojason]

The first team should be nowhere near this competition.

Send the RAWK XI!

(they may not have played for a few years, but still... )

[Crosby Nick]

What time is the draw? Despite ‘the magic of the cup’ fading in recent years it’s still quite thrill to see footballers handling so many balls on prime time BBC.

[Craig67]

Seeing as we won't be allowed any away fans, it will be away at a ground that would, under normal circumstances, given a decent allocation. Probably Sunderland or Spurs, as I've never been to those new stadiums (or ever, to Sunderland).
