Ffs guys. It's the FA cup why so negative. If Bolton win we have a lower league tie round the corner with minimum travel impact. Why does everything have to be a conspiracy on this site.

Fat Sam will get his team kicking our players all over the pitch and park the bus.

Exactly.

Would love for Bolton to beat Palace. Maybe BFS will be looking at the possible fixture with us and just hand it to Bolton.

Just pissed off that the others (lucky bastarda), with fairly routine home games, get a chance to rest players or at least not have to do any travelling.

Hope so mate. Bolton away would be a good draw with not much travel etc. I just have a feeling Bolton missed their chance

How is it that we always get Away matches?

It's because we're picked out second of the pairing.

My mates a Bolton fan and whenever we play each other we sit in each others home end. Had some good times, a couple not so, but always turns into a piss up so never walk away without a smile on my face.

if you take away conspiracy theories and bullying phips, a certain poster would have nothing to say....

I don't think it's a grand conspiracy but it's pretty fucking unlucky that we've potentially picked two prem teams away in a row while everyone else in the top 6 has pretty cushy draws.

That said I've watched us bottle it to some lower league shite in my time. Swings and roundabouts.

It's probably just luck, of course. Probably. Our cube in the bag of balls is heated and marked...doubtful. Probably. I do have an inkling that football is bent though.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and United drawn at home against lower league opposition in BOTH rounds.

Us and Arsenal drawn away both rounds, with us having the more difficult game last round and arguably, as things are at the moment, Arsenal this round.

Conspiracy or coincidence? Well what are the odds? If those four are drawn at home again next round then... well, obviously, we'll go on to win the Cup the hard way, 11(->10) vs 13.

Make that 5 pl teams away in a row.

My missus wouldn't believe me when I shouted at the telly last night about it being fixed.

I may be paranoid but there was certainly a little chuckle from Owen when he said 'away'.

Shrewsbury (1979) and Halifax (1980) spring to mind. Having a poke around I came across this bit of interesting info:

"Martin Tyler neatly summed up the Halifax Cup shock in his Times report, writing that it had "every element of cup-tie football: the fourth division against the first; the poor of the league againstthe biggest spenders"

Seems he has been a cunt for quite some time.........

Funny enough that the only away cup game the rags had this season was at Northampton. Shit like this is so obvious that you can't get surprised anymore.

We will win, I have no doubt in that, I think we will go all the way in the cup. Just a feeling I have.

More joke draws

silver lining - we are shite at home, so do we really want home draws?

Nah!
And our away support is better......
Apparently!
