[Albion] Round 4 , who do you want ?

[Mancgull]

Because that way all of Everton, Luton and Palace would have been eliminated

You are quicker than me. Good point. Bolton away would be very handy for me. Just a few miles away

Missing the league game so DELIGHTED to get the trip to Sheffield after all

 

[drew]

I'm in a minority of 1 who is chuffed with that draw. Only an hour and a half away from home, almost guarantees me an away ticket for the league game as many will not fancy it twice in 4 months and surely another 15 Europe points to be bagged.

Most importantly though, it's winnable and a few decent premier league sides are guaranteed to go.

Twice in four months? Try twice in 3 weeks!!

Sheff Utd 10 man defence for 89 minutes then they score the winner on the break.......

 

[GT49er]

Pretty dull and uninspiring 4th. round match for us (but hopefully Sheffield United will be desperately concentrating on the league to stay up) but get past them and it's opening up nicely. Only 11 out of 20 PL clubs in the next round, and three of these top half (more or less) clubs - City, Spurs, Fulham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa - will be out.

 

[Mike Small]

Never really want Man Utd to win but them having to go to Eastleigh would be amazing

Newport would be funny too.

 

[London Irish]

This will be my first trip to Bramall since Leon Knight He's Alright's late winner, when Mark McCammon celebrated by going horizontal over the advertising boardings - absolute glory days

 

[jimhigham]

Happy with that.

Towards the end, there were a lot of tough teams in the bowl. Yes it’s not at home but a good test for us away.

Fair point. When the only other options were Fulham and Newcastle… that’ll have to do.

 

[Mike Small]

Considering we could have got away at Beheady Howe or Shithousery Marco Silva's Fulham at the end of that draw, I will take that. Plus two from Spurs, City, Villa and Chelsea are out.

 

[Motogull]

 

[pb21]

Accentuate the positives.

There aren't any.

The away fixture could work in our favour. They will have to come out at some point. They will, won't they?

Depends if they play with 11 backs fully against the wall, bus parked in optimum location and get a 0-0 draw. Then we have a replay, repeat of the first game plays out, 0-0 after 120 minutes and they win on penalties...

 

[Bodian]

Crazy bad luck. And they’ve just said on comms that tonight is the first time that Man Utd have been drawn away since March 2021 (also excluding Wembley)

Except for the time they were drawn away at Wigan in the last round......

 

[Reddleman]

There is no way Sheffield United prioritise this fixture . The league is everything for them and I think they will rest a few.

 

[RM-Taylor]

If we want the allocation; we will have both the standard lower tier and also the upper tier - the view from upper tier is a lot better. Potential for just shy of 5000 tickets available for this

 

[RM-Taylor]

Plenty via Doncaster

No direct trains 27/28 Jan.
Line closed Luton-Bedford.
Travel Kings Cross via Donny.

Reduced service between Donny and Sheffield that weekend. The online journey planners haven’t been updated yet - there will only be one Northern service an hour. The TPE trains are terminating at Donny as only running between Cleethorpes and Doncaster

 

[Sheebo]

Happy with that. Home should’ve been better but it’s a good chance to progress and avoided the bigger teams - not sure what people call a good draw these days…!?

 

[wunt be druv]

I am just glad it's Sheffield United and not a MASSIVE team like Sheffield Wednesday....we wouldn't stand a chance!

 

[BevBHA]

Except for the time they were drawn away at Wigan in the last round......

I meant as in the game they were playing tonight

 

[Jaxie]

This will be my first trip to Bramall since Leon Knight He's Alright's late winner, when Mark McCammon celebrated by going horizontal over the advertising boardings - absolute glory days

Think that’s the last time I went.
Glory days indeed, somehow a bottle of champagne appeared on our journey home!
I remember Leon Knight going over as he celebrated, did McCammon go over as well?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It seems like we are almost always drawn away.

I guess Barber is happy as 1901 Club members get home’s included in their season ticket deal.
