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

[barbus_max bhafc]

Jesus, the bedwetters have started early today

 

[portlock seagull]

Eh?

Not sure what you mean by any of that considering whatever team we put out against Grimsby, we thrashed them. We obviously take the FA Cup seriously otherwise we wouldn't have gotten further than almost any other club in it in recent years.

Until I see Bart starting you can always argue it’s not our strongest.

making the draw for the next whilst a match is still being played in the current round (and planned to be played then) is hugely disrespectful. I cannot recall that ever happening before.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Until I see Bart starting you can always argue it’s not our strongest.

Then that is hardly a strong argument as we are/have fielded a strong team in the cup many times notwithstanding the goalie.

 

[Surrey Phil]

Brilliant draw - we’ll be able to play our fringe players for this one!

 

[portlock seagull]

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.

“Other than…”

No need for further questions as I said.

 

[Mustafa II]

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.

making the draw whilst a match is still being played (ad planned to be played then) is hugely disrespectful. I cannot recall that ever happenning before.

Millwall vs Dagenham & Redbridge takes place tomorrow. I think this kind of thing has maybe started creeping in. I agree it's disrespectful.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

The easy draw for Palace has upset me as much as ours.

 

[portlock seagull]

Then that is hardly a strong argument as we are/have fielded a strong team in the cup many times notwithstanding the goalie.

And some others

 

[mile oak]

Be interesting to see pricing its guaranteed to be live on TV, I expect the club will price it maybe as if graded C PL?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

And some others

Agree to disagree?

 

[Bozza]

1. Is the West Upper open yet?

2. Who do you want in the fifth round?

 

[tstanbur]

“Other than…”

No need for further questions as I said.

Steele is hardly a big drop off from Bart.

He’s much better with his feet which has us playing out better, is a leader and is less prone to a howler.

 

[Motogull]

You have to feel sorry for Donny.

With the last half of the draw, there were plenty of glamour or lower league teams left, but oh no they draw the helmets.

Interesting to see the BBC accepting that the helmets are the least significant club in the next round what by them adding them as the final club on the list of clubs yet to be picked.

Millwall vs Dagenham & Redbridge takes place tomorrow. I think this kind of thing has maybe started creeping in. I agree it's disrespectful.

Yes though I was referring of course to the Southampton v Swansea game

 

[dazzer6666]

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.

I don’t
We’ve got a lot more chance of getting to the final by NOT playing them beforehand. Why do you think it’s a ‘good draw’ ?

 

[highflyer]

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

And that any empty seats in the home end will be hoovered up by suspiciously racist/homophobic 'Brighton fans'.

 

[portlock seagull]

Steele is hardly a big drop off from Bart.

He’s much better with his feet which has us playing out better and is less prone to a howler.

Don’t disagree but the point was merely without its not our strongest. That’s all.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Man City and Man United?

Oh shit yeah. I forgot the United one, weird. Bloody hell... unfortunately it seems my memory is going... shit
