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

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

More like were you? So Steeles our No.1 again?

We played probably the strongest squad we could yesterday. Steele is our cup keeper that is widely acknowledged, other than a couple of kids on the bench everyone else were regulars in the PL squad.

FH was taking yesterday’s match seriously, I’d expect our strongest available squad against Chelsea too.

 

[portlock seagull]

Noted.

You're are wrong.

Given neither of us have ever been wrong on here, my moneys on me

 

[ChickenDipper]

No chance barber will make this top dollar as he knows Chelsea will bring 4,500

Any chance of some punctuation?

BTW - twenty is plenty for this fixture - hope they price it right.

 

[ChickenDipper]

Given the reaction on here I’d say not!

I’ll be well up for it and go of course - just not a good draw. You can think and do both innit.

But arguably still not our strongest side therefore, and that was my point. No further questions your honour.

 

[Triggaaar]

13 people wanted Chelsea. Can’t think why anyone would want them in round 4.

Exactly. One of the best 4 teams in the country (and one of the best 3 still in it), so why would we want to be playing them?

 

[Mustafa II]

Why ? Would happily face them in the final. Not R4

Why do you think we have more chance of beating them in a final at Wembley than at home in round four?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I would hope that the ticket prices be reduced for this opposition as most of us are disappointed with this draw.

 

[Pevenseagull]

£100000 says somebody starts a ‘If you could win one game, which would it be?’ poll the week before we play them in the first game

Cup

 

[Birdie Boy]

Is that why we have been to Wembley twice in the past few years for cup semi-finals?

Uh? I've had a few beers but twice?I think I missed one...

And we’re playing them at home a week later!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Uh? I've had a few beers but twice?I think I missed one...

Man City and Man United?

 

[portlock seagull]

I’ll be well up for it and go of course - just not a good draw. You can think and do both innit.

I can see a lot of STHs not bothering and/or many already being Chelsea fans if are ao cheering for home side and/or thousands tickets snapped up by tourists with a lean towards Chelsea. Nah, it’s a shit draw and likely will be a shite result for us given our record against. The jammy buggers will likely beat us on penalties just wait!

 

[Winker]

At least we'll be able to concentrate on the league.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Go on then considering players coming back from injuries etc where could we have been stronger? Other than Bart in for Steele but we know that wasn’t going to happen.

Also you said we don't take the cup seriously. Playing a XI made up entirely of PL squad players and having just 2 kids on the bench shows that to be nonsense.

 

[Krafty]

Will need to do a Liverpool (pt. 2) if we want to beat the Blues

 

[Wardy's twin]

Exactly. One of the best 4 teams in the country, so why would we want to be playing them?

secret chelsea fans?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Guaranteed tv picks:

Donny v Palace
Man City
Plymouth v Liverpool
Birmingham v Newcastle
Exeter v Forest

That would leave one more which I suspect will end up being either Man Utd v Leicester or Villa v Spurs

Very very doubtful our game will be on tv

 

[HCxUK]

Tricky one.

Worth remembering that we've only lost at home to Liverpool and Palace this season and there's a chance Chelsea won't go with their strongest 11, they seem to have a league team and a cup team.

And my word it would feel great to knock them out...

Feels like a TV game too which could impact the rematch on the following Friday
