I wished they would get the draw out the way before playing all the clips and interviews that nobody cares about.

Well I for one enjoy hearing the managers of Kettering and Harborough talk about their fantastic replays oh wait they can't get them because it would interfere with city's quadruple dreams somehow.

Another stinker for Mansfield against Wigan, not even a positive being at home because we are more likely to win away!

Another crap draw. Oxford at home.
Hopefully they owe us one after we didn't turn up when they sneaked into the playoffs

Salford and that knob at Accrington getting big paydays. Sickening.

He deserves to recoup from Stanley to be fair put a good few million in the facilities.

Mansfield never never never get a decent draw, we’ve not had anyone of note in years.

The only decent draw I recall in the last twenty years is Liverpool over a decade ago.

Exactly.

Since then we’ve had cardiff away and cheltenham away (who both ironically drew man city in the next round) middlesborough at home and wigan at home.

Whereas poxy pointless clubs like salford get man city away.

Derby at home, basically have to hope they sack it off like a host of other Championship clubs more than likely will.

Probably the worst of the PL sides we could have had. Same division 2 years ago, played them away last year in the carling cup.

Last time we had a Prem team in the FA Cup was Villa at home in 2012.

Before that was Fulham away in 08, then Villa at home in 93 and finally an away day at Liverpool in 92.

So basically, no big team in living memory for me. In fact only 2 big games in the FA Cup in about 50 years. Depressing.

Still, could be worse. At least we’re not at home to Wigan.

Portsmouth (H) is a shit draw, they were a very decent L1 side and I am guessing they must have strengthened since going up - just obviously not enough to deal with the gruelling demands of the Championship, which is a considerable step up from this level.

They must be desperate for a cup win given their league form.

So of all the draws we could have had, this one would be right down there for undesirability.

Do Chelsea ever play anyone other than lower league sides at home in these early rounds?

Feeling is mutual mate. What a shite draw for us. Probably the worst draw I could think of

Surely you can let us off, as that is arguably the greatest memorable moment in the FA Cup in the whole history of the competition. And a corker of a free kick too!

We never get any decent draws mate. I saw us years back v Aston Villa and Liverpool but nothing decent since.
Lets just go back to getting knocked out in round 1, they will only spend the money on more wasters like Sotiriou and Omochere, and we would get battered anyway.
