FA Cup 4th Round draw


Recommended Posts

So what's the thoughts?

Do we want one of the big uns for a big day out or a packed Hillsborough but probably go out and then say 'ah well concentrate on the league?' (but be a bit gutted)

Or one of the smaller sides but could still have a bad day?

Personally I hope we get a big enough side at home to fill Hillsborough but are very beatable.....

So Sheffield United at home it is 😎

Fingers crossed Monday 😁

I wouldn’t mind Wrexham at home. They would bring loads and the novelty factor regarding their owners might see the game chosen for live tv.

Plus, more importantly, we should beat them comfortably and get through to the next round and another payday.

Other option is Spurs away to get in the new ground and a decent payday. In all likelihood we’d lose, but it would allow us to then focus on the league and staying up, which is far more important than a cup run.

I watched MotD yesterday morning. Once it finished, I flicked over to the red button channel which was showing MotD over a much longer time period. Naïve me thought it may be some extended offering with more highlights, so I tuned in. First match was Mike Ingham's wife vs Pigs.

Not sure if that's an omen for tonight's draw but it was promptly switched off again.

Probably get Watford away and end up going down there to play cup instead of league 😁

If we go down to play them in the league this year I'll be delighted, we'll have stayed up.

Pigs can't play Sunday they have a league game the Tuesday after

Well I am sure TV will dictate that and the league game moved a day if necessary But it will all come clear in the next couple of days I guess

Brighton also play that Tuesday, can't seen them messing two games about for a cup tie

 

Wouldn't rule out our game (or theirs tbh) being Friday night

 

I couldn't care less I'm in Holland that weekend

Tink. We’ll have less of your negativity round here thank you.

🤣

Think I'm still trying to catch up and embrace this optimism malarkey that Danny is encouraging 

I will get there 😉

Did you watch the Youth Cup tie on YouTube tonight, Tink?  

🙂

I didn't mate and I have to be honest I didn't know about it.

I've got a bit of time at the moment and will have a nosy,

Hope you're keeping well, it's been a while 👋

I shouldn't bother with it, pal. It was a tongue in cheek remark in response to yours about having a go at this positivity lark.  We got absolutely spanked!  😉

Not so bad thanks, Tink. It has and it's smashing to see you back on here. 

🙂👍

Ah I did have a look before I saw your reply

I understand now 😁

Nice to be back, thanks, it's been a damn rollercoaster personally since I last said hi 

When I saw the new set up via the Facebook page I knew I should pop in and see what's happening,

Here's to Saturday 👍

Moving the Watford game means I now can’t make that. 

It was scheduled for the 4th round date so always more than likely be shifted - the fact its the week straight after was probably.

Message to clients - the Watford game is the evening of the 31st January. So you can fucking do one if you think I am going to disrupt that to file your tax return last minute

Thanks for cheering my weekend by reminding me that the taxman is about to take all the money in my bank. I’ve been chasing my accountant for weeks to prepare my tax return. I’m fairly sure he doesn’t wait for weeks for us to pay his invoices.
