Away to Man U would be great a quality day out and I've never been to old trafford.

That or the Return to selhurst to get our revenge.

21 Vs 6 would do me nicely! I have a mate who lives in Liverpool and supports Everton. The wife 'supports' Liverpool!

As long as it's not 10 or 23 I don't really mind. I haven't missed a match in years but I'd not want to go to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge and yes, I have previously been to both. The only good thing would be the money the club would make.

Never been to Birmingham so 3 will do for me.

22 would be a good day out at a great stadium and we know Keegan normally does shit in the cup.

Southampton away would be good too but my money is on Histon away and another year concentrating on the League!

Whoever it is let's hope it is 3.00 on Satuday 8th Jan and not 5.15 on Sunday afternoon away!! :angry:

At 4pm on Sunday 5 December, the big boys enter this season's FA Cup as the draw for the Third Round takes place at Soho Square.

Gary Pallister and Tony Cascarino, opponents in the 1994 FA Cup final when two Eric Cantona penalties helped Manchester United to a 4-0 win over Chelsea, will make the draw to see who will take on who when the competition resumes after Christmas.

The draw will be live on BBC1 following the Hinckley United v Brentford 2nd Round match as well as Sky Sports and BBC Radio Five Live. You'll also be able to listen live online with TheFA.com.


Ones to watch
With 64 balls going into the pot, 32 ties will be selected. Cup holders Manchester United, who beat Millwall 3-0 in Cardiff last May, are number 23 in the draw, while the Lions are 25. Arsenal and Chelsea, currently fighting it out at the top of the Premiership are balls 1 and 10 respectively.

Ball number 56 will certainly see a team from outside the top six divisions mix with the country's elite. Isthmian Premier rivals Slough Town and Yeading are both vying for the place.

Across the pyramid, two Southern League sides will be aimng to make it through as Histon take on Yeovil Town for a place in the draw as number 58 and Bath City's tie with Peterborough will decide who will be ball 63. A potential money-spinning tie against a Premiership giant could be in store.

How the numbers are decided
This is it - the big boys are here. The Third Round of The FA Cup sees the top two divisions of English football come in, as teams from the Premier League and Football League Championship enter the draw. Those 44 clubs are numbered first alphabetically and the remaining 20 clubs follow on in their match number order from the last round.
