[Albion] FA Cup Fourth Round Draw (Sunday, 5pm*)

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Congratulations to @Krafty setting up that poll must have taken f***ing ages

Seems to have taken a lot out of him as there is still time to vote!

There’s a lot of defeatism here about being drawn against Chelsea. It’s a tough one for sure but they’ve just been beaten by Ipswich and Fulham, and drew against Palace and Everton. Yes, they had a good run earlier in the season when they won 5 in a row or something but they’ve gone off the boil. At worst, I’d call it an evenly matched contest. And we should have Welbeck and March back in the starting XI by then.

it’s a cliché but if we’re going to do well in the cup we need to beat some strong sides. I’d not get the same pleasure getting deep in the competition by being constantly drawn against lower-league sides.

And I bet you anything that most Chelsea fans are moaning like hell about being drawn away at Brighton.

It’s not defeatism, it would just be better to have an easier tie

I live polls like that..just voted for Leicester

God I hate NSC sometimes.

Full of negative bastards.

We've got a winnable home tie that should be a great occasion. That's what football's about right?

You'd all prefer us to limp through to the latter stages just by playing weaker opposition? What a sad cup run that would be.

Let's BEAT Chelsea and win the FA Cup on merit. It' should be a great fixture and I'm confident of a win.

Are you going?

Only under your previous user that you made Bozza delete you said you weren’t going to games any more.

Surely with all the experience you have on here, you realise that no tie is "easy ?"

Amazing how much contrarianism there is over the draw, what is so controversial about wishing for the easiest opponent possible, even allowing for our difficulties against ‘weak’ teams.

Plus as a match going fan I’d much rather watch us play a non PL side we don’t face twice a season as it is.

It is what it is

I'm seeing how many Chelsea fans are lurking about picking them

You're a bit weird, aren't you. What a strange thing to recall.

What difference does it make whether I'm going or not?

FWIW, I'm more likely to make cup games than league games these days.

And its who you want not think we will draw!

 

[pigmanovich]

FWIW if we had to face a top five side in the cup right now, Chelsea might be the least terrible draw. They have a bona fide B team they field in all non PL games - even difficult ones like Newcastle away in the Carabao Cup - and Palmer is very much not part of it. Yes, he was in the match day squads for Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and Morecambe in the FA Cup but didn’t come off the bench in either - understandable in the latter case - so a win here is not out of the question. Liverpool and City also have B teams but theirs are stronger IMO.

Still annoyed obviously

Probably not that odd as I can remember that as well. You made quite a fuss and therefore that occasion is easier to recall.

It’s not negativity, it’s romance of the cup - who wants to be drawn in the early rounds against a team in your own league?

Just wondering if you were going to be there contributing to the atmosphere or behind a keyboard slagging off NSC users?

It’s not my favourite draw by any means but there’s too much negativity about our chances.

Nearly five thousand of them wankers in town.

I’m staying in bed.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Chelsea at home?

Yes

I cannot abide them

I'll take the risk of defeat for the opportunity to f*** them up

f*** Chelsea

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Thanks for the poll

If they end up in Peacehaven, they've probably taken a wrong turn.
