[Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

[Gabbiano]

Being NW based it would be great to have an away match nearby that we're odds on to win.

So that's Preston for me (or United of course, but that's boring given how often we beat them).

If they do that shit where they have a person wearing the shirt of each club and get them to shake hands when they get drawn again, I am actually going to throw up and/or rip my eyes out.

It was indeed. Two pints of a brand, I think, called Naish. We only had half an hour. I could barely walk in a straight line to the platform. The pub was closed last time I was there. Probably for the best.

I used to do summer work at a cider place near Taunton (Sheppy's). I suspect what you might have had was called 'Natch' - the usual landlord speak locally for 'natural' cider (at the time would probably have been served straight from the barrel, cloudy, and quite possibly had bits of straw, apple and rat floating in it)

I hate watching cup draws. A crap name comes out of the hat and I'm all "nononononoNOOO" then we come out next and its "hnnngggaaahhhhBOLLOCKS"

Last years tour of grim northern shitholes (Stoke A, Sheff Utd A, Wolves A) was a particularly depressing watch. And you just KNOW whats going to happen tonight.

"Number 13 - Burnley, will play...."

But its on the One Show, so will no doubt involve some cheesy bollocks involving fans they've thought up to make the draw more interactive. You'll be too busy cringing as fans face off against each other as though they are taking part in a boxing match as the teams are drawn out to worry about what northern shithole we will be visiting in a months time.

Home game please!
And hopefully Plymouth or Preston.

Sheffield United was decent. Jeff Stelling’s son was fed Buckfast, we did a pub full of people on a “dead celebrity” pub crawl, seven goals, an “incident” in an underpass and a very long, boozy trip home via Doncaster. That and Forest were my favourite domestic games last season.

What time will the draw really start? Last time we had to endure 20 minutes of waffle first and not in a food way.

That just adds a whole extra level of abject shittery, doesn't it.
I'd like to say I'll just check the draw online later, but I'd be lying. I can't help myself.

In fairness, I do quite like Sheffield. The city centre is decent, and I've done Bramall Lane a couple of times (not last season, mind). Its just not the kind of draw I like to see coming out of the hat.

Ooh, "domestic games". Get you

It is on The One Show, so I'd suggest that sort of nausey behaviour is highly likely.

Except that it's the cup, which the two Manchester teams seem to have made their own plaything for two seasons now, despite being pony for large chunks of the competition.

Would rather not chance it given the luck Utd have enjoyed in this competition

 

[Lady Whistledown]

My favourite bit of every draw is the fake "Ooooohohohohohoho!" noises made by the people in the background when some retired player draws out one vaguely Big Club away to another vaguely Big Club, as though we're all blown away by the idea of Aston Villa taking on Wolves for the third time this season.

 

[dazzer6666]

Plymouth all day long for me, home or away. My best man is a lifelong STH and I'm from Devon originally.


It'll be Villa away though

No f***ing shit. Teenagers leave socks on the floor?

Has the one show turned into Loose Women? Apologies to Bill.
