*** The Official Thread of the FA Cup FIFTH Round Draw ***

[Dominoid]

Well I was born in 1984 so this is the best for me in living memory at least! Looked up 86 and that looks right, apparently we went out in the quarter finals then. If we could beat that and make it as far as the semis that would be ace. To be fair though, I can't see us getting any further now

 

[Foster House]

Got this far in 1984 as well, and the commentators suggest we did in 1986 as well, but can't remember that

Lost 2-0 at home to Southampton in the 1986 Quarter Final. Awful game.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Got this far in 1984 as well, and the commentators suggest we did in 1986 as well, but can't remember that

1984 beat Swansea, Liverpool, lost to Watford in 5th round

1986 beat Newcastle, Hull, Peterborough before losing to Southampton in 6th round

1983 played 8 games in the cup, presumably our record? the 5th round will be our 7th FA Cup game this season

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Man Utd away and Crawley at home in the 6th Rd!

If we're only counding "proper" rounds then yes, if not, I'm pretty sure we've been in the qualifying rounds a few times (1906 we were in the 4th qualifying round but I can't find details if that's were we started of not)

I think our record is 11 games.

In 1932, our application for the FA Cup was late, so we had to go through qualifying.

QR1 12-0 vs Shoreham
QR2 7-1 vs Worthing
QR3 9-0 vs Hastings and St Leonards
QR4 4-0 vs Barnet

Chelsea Home!

Always thought it would be great to see, Cashley Cole, Diddie Drogba and other prima domas walk at at Withdean!!!!

 

[PHCgull]

Everton away.

right now there are (considerably) more league one teams left in it than championship sides

 

[Falmer]

when is the draw?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

1610 GMT tomorrow it seems, although there is a later fixture. Bit strange.

True. Would be good to have a Premiership come down to Withdean for the last time

BoF, what a wealth of knowledge you can be , but we are in the 5th round in 2011 while top of league 1 ,

 

[JBizzle]

I'd love us to get a MASSIVE club like Southampton...

Arsenal at the Emirates would be my dream though.

 

[fatbadger]

Any northern team whose ground I haven't been to, so Everton, ManUtd or ManCIty. Alternatively, any Midlands team whose ground I haven't been to, so Brum, Villa, Wolves or Stoke. After that, I don't care.

[Stat Brother]

Is it wrong to want another Championship side.

Reading
Burnley
Forest.

I'm loving turning over what we'd all want next years opponents to be.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Forest away would certainly be a challenge. Don't want Reading though, bored of them

 

[Kumquat]

spurs for me. Would be a top game.
