TIES TO BE PLAYED BETWEEN FRIDAY 7 January 2022 & MONDAY 10 January 2022

[Brain Potter]

Harrogate Town at home please

[Dazzer23]

Ask all you want, but you know it will be West Ham away

[theredguy03]

The draw usually ends up with Everton at Anfield or Chelsea away 

[disgraced cake]

If you don't want Everton at home you're a shithouse, IMO. Can't wait to see us invent an even more hilarious way to fully confirm another year for them without a pot.

[4pool]

Ask all you want, but you know it will be West Ham away

For a team from Manchester.

[Cafe De Paris]

You know it will be no.13 away. They will have our balls on a hot radiator before the draw. Ahem!

[andy07]

United away please.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

What kind? One with fancy porcelin edgings and a Japanese remote control directional jet?

[Lynx the saucy mynx]

Haven’t played Coventry since they were relegated in 2001.

[OsirisMVZ]

Harrogate Town, lets fuckin ave ye

[lfcrule6times]

Easiest home route to the final please

[bradders1011]

We're getting 1989 AC Milan away.

City are getting Leek Town U13s Second XI.

[Brain Potter]

Last thing we need in the middle of the busiest period of the season is a match against Everton, United, Man City etc..low profile game against lower league opposition is desirable

[rocco]

A team that we can send out our fringe players and win and at Home 

[scouseman]

This is a public service announcement

 The draw will be shown live on ITV 4 at 7pm ahead of the live game between Boreham Wood and St Albans City

[jackh]

Away to Blackburn/Blackpool/Preston/Stoke would be alright by me -  a Championship club allowing us freedom to mix up the team a bit, but not too far away either.

I'm a traditionalist, so I hate this.

For me, an FA Cup 3rd Round draw is not the same unless it's being held on The One Show from a cricket clubhouse in Northampton in between interviews with Gyles Brandreth telling the history of caterpillars and Donny Osmond plugging his re-released Christmas album.

I enjoyed the league cup draw in Morrisons personally. When they do them in the middle of the night from the Far East it's fun too.

[scouseman]

The question is why is it on ITV4 in the first place? Have the BBC lost the rights or are they sharing them with ITV.

[Fiasco]

Looking forward to getting Chelsea away, while United get a retired Oxford United XI at home, and City draw Everton.




Bitter? Probably. But it happens every time.

[DelTrotter]

Could realllllllyyyyy do with a generous one here, obviously gonna be missing most of our attack anyway so it'd be nice if we got a tie where we could give a rest to Bobby or Jota too. We also might have a 2 legged league cup semi to be dealing with as well.

Probably a premier league team away though.

[rob1966]

St Albans City at home, only due to an LFC supporting mate being half owner of the club.

[number 168]

You know it will be no.13 away. They will have our balls on a hot radiator before the draw. Ahem!

I thought it was City's ball that was left on the radiator and ours given sufficient time in the fridge?

[Crosby Nick]

St Albans City at home, only due to an LFC supporting mate being half owner of the club.

Hij?

[ScottishKopite]

St Albans City at home, only due to an LFC supporting mate being half owner of the club.

I'd like a lower league team or a team outside the football league at home give them a big pay day.

[keyop]

Salford City at home, and beat them 10-0 with the kids just to annoy the Nevilles, Scholes, Giggs and Beckham.

[Perham]

Used to know someone from Kidderminster, was a c*nt. I'd take them though.

[Gerry Attrick]

Mansfield Town away would be good to relive.

[Barneylfc∗]

Salford City at home, and beat them 10-0 with the kids just to annoy the Nevilles, Scholes, Giggs and Beckham.

I've updated the list. Salford are out.

[Crosby Nick]

Mansfield Town away would be good to relive.

Hopefully we can cut down on the nefarious cheating this time.

[afc tukrish]

Hopefully we can cut down on the nefarious cheating this time.

Cheating with the Stags? Effes not making the trip?

[keyop]

I've updated the list. Salford are out.

OK - I'll go for Wimbledon at home. Even though they're not the same club as they were, I'm still not fully over that 1988 FA cup final.

[duvva 💅]

Ipswich away for me please (although they’re not guaranteed to beat Barrow), would hopefully be able to get a ticket and not have to travel for once - not that I’m being selfish or anything

[Samie]

A League 1 or 2 team at home please so we can play the kids again.

[iamnant]

Contrary to what I said in the Champions League thread, easiest possible route to the final please where we play a team who we can smash. Want this team to win as many trophies as possible and enjoy that Hendo shuffle one more time -- it's been too long.

[Red Beret]

Looking forward to getting Chelsea away, while United get a retired Oxford United XI at home, and City draw Everton.




Bitter? Probably. But it happens every time.

Nailed on. I'll be gobsmacked if we don't get a PL team.

The one saving grace is that most of them are shit, and the powers that be will likely want to keep City and us apart. That still leaves Chelsea, West Ham, and any other team capable of raising their game against us. (So no Man United, Newcastle, Everton, Southampton, Norwich etc, but perhaps Palace, Leeds, Leicester, Villa, Wolves, Brentford or even Burnley.)

[tubby]

Shit team at home, please.  Can't fathom anyone wanting anything other than that.

[disgraced cake]

St Albans at home, please. Think if we can draw them or another non-league side that Klopp will consider starting me.

As per tradition for every cup draw, my prediction is Chelsea away.
