Mickey Thomas? Even when Wrexham aren't in the draw the BBC find a way to mention them

 

[Conker]

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.

 

[Master D]

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

 

[Conker]

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

 

[denzel ecfc]

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

 

[Conker]

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.

 

[AdamStag]

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.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Palace away. Already been to Selhurst so it's very meh to me

 

[AdamStag]

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.

 

[The Terminator]

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

 

[Super_horns]

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

No doubt Man C v Salford will be on TV too.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Lincoln drawn away in the cup, who would have thought it!? What a load of shit.

 

[Gassy]

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.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Looking at the draw I can only conclude that the FA hate League One.

and love L2/NL

 

[Master D]

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

 

[DaveBirm1875]

Lincoln (H) yep. thats about it

Nah in all seriousness its nice to be drawn at home, hopefully sticks to a saturday 3pm KO

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

Sense of deja vu for Bristol Rovers!

A 'meh' draw for both sides, I think!

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!
