FA Cup draw

It is amazing that with all of those balls it has come out that there will only be two all Premiership matches.

We won the last time we played there (during the promotion season). Mitro missed the match for some reason and Rodrigo scored twice.

All in all, a pretty good draw for us. We could have drawn someone much worse, but equally we could have had more luck too. Still, a winnable tie even if we rest some starters.

At least one of Liverpool and Brighton will be knocked out, and so will one of Villa-Newcastle.

Leed and Sunderland drawing Championship sides is good too, as they don't have the squad depth we have.

Because they use expandable brown envelopes. (It is alleged)

Careful what you wish for! With Benda being back, maybe not an actual new signing, but he could be the fresh blood doing a stint in goal!

Stoke fans reaction to playing us on one of their forums

QuoteWhat a awful draw again.
Not glamour,no following.
Probably lose.
Just as poo as when we got Brighton.

QuoteJust find Fulham one of the most boring clubs on earth. But they're a good side so will probably knock us out.

All very Brighton/Palace-esque.

QuoteBit meh.
Not in the slightest bit attractive so low crowd and crap atmosphere.
But winnable if we give it a go.
Need to cram them in the usual away corner and open the South Stand to home fans in order to generate a bit of atmosphere as well as the Boothen/Tile Mountain corner.

QuoteFulham never take many away, there will be fewer away fans for this one than the average Championship game.

QuoteMy own moodiness about it is it feels like the 15th time in a row we've been given a really boring yet devilishly difficult fixture.

Always Brighton, Palace, Fulham types.

Think the last genuinely exciting draw was Newcastle at the Brit about 18 years ago?

QuoteThey'll go strong you'd imagine and it should be a decent game.

They're probably a club who'd target an FA Cup win after seeing Palace do it last season.
