Recommended Posts

Planned to take girlfriend to her first football match, Wigan home and a stop over perfect with work commitments..... Hmmmm no tickets on website. Ah FA Cup methinks! So I’ll take lower league home so I can get tickets and still have a night in Derby for some fine ale and begin the job of converting a girl from Stoke to the joys of DCFC

Probably already asked and answered but whens the draw?

I'm guessing tomorrow's OneShow (when I'm on evening shift)

Correct

BT were saying that the draw is on after the Brentford-Barnet match.

During the One Show if BBC's coverage is to believed.

 

I like to win games, and don't frankly care about the "big teams", so if Chelsea could draw Man City, that would be great. I'd take Doncaster or someone like that.

I'd like the odds of playing another Champ team reduced tbh - the most boring of cup ties.

If all the prem teams and all the champ teams who aren't Derby could play each other that would be great.

Just like the fourth round i want to see as many Prem teams as possible playing other Prem sides, Man U v City - Chelsea v Palace etc.

It wouldn't be easy but a lower league side at home, Wimbledon a Pride Park would be good. Dont like playing other Championship sides, I want to play someone we dont normally play.

What channel is the draw on anyone and time?

Prefer not to play Chelsea or Man Utd, as we already have done that this season. Save one for the final.

Man City would be ok, even if they batter us. Away from home there's the money from gate receipts, but at home there's always the "banana-skin-factor" (scientific terminology)

If we're going to play Palace, Watford or Brighton (or indeed WBA), I'd like it to be at home. I'd fancy our chances. Away from home, not so much.

If Wolves go through I'd like to avoid them. No glamour, and unlikely to progress.

Against a lower league team I'd prefer a home draw - the pitch really didn't help us on Friday, so let's avoid that.

I'd take any Championship team at home, with possible exception of Swansea. I'd like to avoid them. Not sure why.

 

Perfect draw for me:

Derby v Doncaster

Boro v WBA

Chelsea v Man Utd

Man City v Swansea

Millwall v Wolves

Palace v Watford

Wimbledon v Bristol City

Brentford v QPR

 

Leaving Derby, WBA (after a replay), Chelsea, Man City, Millwall (shock win), Palace, Wimbledon and Brentford in the last 8.

Derby to draw Wimbledon at home, Chelsea to draw Man City, Millwall to draw Palace and West Brom to go to Brentford.

Semi final line up of Derby, Man City, Millwall and Brentford.

Man City go to Millwall, we get Brentford.

Derby v Man City final.

Finish second in the league, Man City to reach Champions League final and still be in a competitive premier league race on final day of season, and as such we surprise them to win 2-1.

Frank buys Mount, Tomori and Wilson for our inaugual run in the Europa League.

 

 

 

...what?

It immediately preceeds the 7:45 KO (im time, obviously, as that game isnt on the BBC), according to the BBC website. So if you're adamant on watching the draw its probably safe to watch from half past 7. Save having to watch the first 30 minutes.

Maybe I misunderstood, I'm sure they said that they would be bringing the draw on Monday when Brentford play Barnet.

I was thinking almost exactly the same but I had the winner of Donny and Wimbledon in the quarters after despatching Palace at home

No to Millwall, either Manchester, or Chelsea.

Anyone else, bring it on. Preferably at home.

The FA Cup fifth-round draw takes place on Monday - and you can watch it live on The One Show on BBC One and on the BBC Sport website from 19:00 GMT.

The draw precedes Monday's tie between non-league Barnet and Championship Brentford
