[Albion] Did Glen Johnson oversee the dullest FA Cup draw ever?

[Bozza]

There's not much of note here at all, is there?

Blackburn or Wrexham vs Newcastle​

​

Chelsea or Aston Villa vs Leeds or Plymouth​

​

Bournemouth vs Leicester​

​

Liverpool vs Watford or Southampton​

​

Bristol City or Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United​

​

Wolves vs Brighton​

​

Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry vs Maidstone United​

​

Luton Town vs Manchester City​

About the only thing that could be interesting is Wrexham v Newcastle, but that's far from guaranteed.

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

Not just the resulting matches but the speed of it and lack of drama. Also why only one person for home and away draw, that didn't seem right.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Out of Premier League sides, only Wolves have a harder task than us.

 

[tigertim68]

Like I said earlier 11 ,12 ,14,15,16, all drawn away , fixed or what all the remaining big clubs kept apart

Cost cutting... personally I think the cameraman should have done it!

Luton?

 

[Weststander]

The brunette hyped it up as something amazing about to happen, followed by meh.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I thought Seema Jaswal looked lovely as she always does.

 

[GT49er]

Certainly has to be a contender for that dubious title. Annoying that City, United, Liverpool, Newcastle and Villa/Chelsea all avoid each other.

Could be the Alan Shearer derby

Blimey you're not joking. Which one will have the TV companies salivating to cover? I suspect they'll be praying for Leeds to go through to play Villa or Chelsea

You are a man of fine taste.

Too right. They didn't have to heat the balls up either. See you on the corrupt ref thread next time we lose.

 

[Dirty Dave]

Do people genuinely think that this ball warming thing happens?

Probably. They forget that the draw is independently observed and to fix the draw would also be a criminal offence.

Apparently, pitting big clubs against each other is for the TV, but avoiding each other is to get them in the next round.

You can identify folk who believe this, they hang out on corrupt ref threads.

 

[um bongo molongo]

The worst part is that it hasn’t done anything to clear any easy path to the final. Most likely the rest of the QF line will be City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea (or Villa), Newcastle, Bournemouth and Sheff Wed or Coventry. So even if we beat Wolves we will then have either a good PL team or the most MASSIVE club in the country.

And away from home

 

[The Wookiee]

Have you ever seen anyone just pick one ball straight out instead of mixing them up with their hand first and then picking one out ?

What criminal offence would be committed?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Luton?

Oh yeah. Them too.
