[Albion] FA Cup QF Draw Wed 1.3.23

[worthingseagull]

home please to anyone but the two Mancs

 

[A1X]

As long as one tie involves two of City, United and Spurs playing each other and us playing none of them I’m happy

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

You think Grimsby are likely to beat Southampton? If so I suggest you put some money down as Grimsby are 10/1 to win in normal time or 11/2 to qualify!

Was thinking a draw or double chance on this, whilst long shot I could see Southampton resting loads and Grimsby getting to 90 with a draw

 

[Bombardier]

I would like:
Us v Grimsby*
Man Utd* v Spurs*
City v Fulham
Burnley* v Blackburn

*Based on most likely results tonight. Burnley/Blackburn in the semis

Uncanny, that was also my choice. But you know fate would have us against Fulham in the Quarter final, Citeh in the semi's and United in the final. But this time we WIN THE BLOODY THING!!

 

[El Turi]

5 of our last 7 FA cup draws have been away so it would be nice to get a home tie for once.

 

[Icy Gull]

Last night I dreamt we were away to City next round

You call that a dream?

The spoiler is Sat 18th its a jolly for these lazy railwaymen so no trains. Obviously Manure on Sunday 19th will become another game for midweek to be arranged. Given the rail strike lets hope TV doesnt fvck us over and insist on a Saturday (could happen - if so hope club put in strong case for change especially if its at home)

 

[Mackenzie]

Grimsby away would be a brilliant little trip.

 

[DavidRyder]

You call that a dream?

Dream, as in total nightmare!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Ball #3 means Citeh v Man Ure and BHA v Blackburn.

You heard it here.....

Prefer Spurs over Fulham

If Southampton rest players for this then I will have no sympathy if they go down.

They should be embracing this fixture as a chance to go deep into a cup competition - they even beat Man City in the league cup quarters. That in itself would be a great morale boost to carry into the league.

If they rest players, they risk losing to Grimsby and those same championship standard players might well just carrying on losing at the weekend anyway.

 

[HCxUK]

Anything but City or United away

 

[SeagullinExile]

It will be Fulham

Please god no.... not again.

 

[Weststander]

Ideally:
Albion v Grimsby
Blackburn v Burnley
winners meeting in S/F

Man City v Manure
Fulham v Spurs
winners meeting in S/F

Its going to be a repeat of 1983 isn’t it? Man United in the final again…

I agree, but for what ever reason managers tend not to see it like that, they will point to a winnable home game at the weekend.

You have sympathy if they go down?

Surely family bragging rights come first....

Won't it be midweek again?

 

[erkan]

How would our chances of winning the cup be affected by being drawn to play Man City at The Amex....?

Must be a good case for us having a lot more chance of catching them cold in a QF with our own fans than we would have in a Wembley showpiece...

I can't tell you what I dreamed last night, but I can tell you that 100% it won't happen in real life. Don't set too much store by your dreams @DavidRyder
