I'm so disappointed that had we managed to beat Rochdale we'd have gotten Barrow.

Also my deepest commiserations to the Cambridge fans, enjoy your stadium while it's still in one piece.

 

[LongEatonPie]

Nice of you to give us a bye past Peterborough in the replay, cheers!
Anyway nice carrot for the winners but a long way to go in terms of the replay and the whole of December.

Potential trip to Chelsea makes the replay at London Road a lot more interesting, I suppose. Also makes our inability to convert dominance and chances into a win yesterday far more annoying.

 

[Green 75]

Willing to bet my house on a Newport win next Tuesday now

Your little fairytale rivalry with us ended years ago, why so mad?

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Happy with Leeds at home, should be a good crowd with a good atmosphere, and we've already beaten Wednesday's reserves this season so no reason we can't beat Leeds'.

 

[Arbury]

Leeds at home, win win all round really, we're playing well at the minute, just hope we stay injury free and stay in the same form from now until then.

Derry downs Leeds!!


KTF

 

[Richard Cranium]

What is KTF? Isn't a thing all footballers constantly tweet or is that kmt?

 

[Vanni]

Killing the fans.

 

[Laker]

Happy with that, great to get a big club at home. Certain sell out and half a chance of an upset. Proper cup tie.

Keep the faith.....

 

[Stanleyfan]

Luton fans must be really pissed off with that draw but we have been shocking in a lot of home games this season so perhaps its not the end of the world for you.
The last two times we've been in the 3rd round (we don't make it that often!) we have been drawn against Colchester and Gillingham

 

[TractorBoys]

We're losing to Lincoln this year, then.

Wrong division. Try again. ;-)

 

[TractorBoys]

I can't bring myself to re post it in the correct section... our cup performances are painful enough without double posting about our imminent 3rd round exit.

Never had a rivalry with you, just didn't much like Leeds.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Your chavs did, they couldn't understand how we had the vocabulary to sing more than 1 song that wasn't we all h8 lids scum

I'll take it. Definitely a good chance of us getting through to the Last 32. And the prize money is still the same whoever you beat.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Was disappointed at first but it's a winnable game, would have wanted it at home though. Have to say I think it's got replay written all over it though.

Couldn't agree more.

It'll probably be my next match (not sure if I can make Hartlepool) and is a bit more inspiring than Stanley away to start 2017.

A bouncing Abbey, (Saturday 3 p.m. would be nice, with some TV money from the replay), South Habbin full of something other than braying Lu'en fans, fixture congestion to moan about as we continue our route to "Won Twice at Wembley" again. You have to dream and I didn't mean in the FA Cup - although a semi-final would be nice.

Which reminds me, we have a match up in Yorks this week don't we?

I am also willing to bet your house too on that.

 

[KevinMcallister]

hope Cambridge earn a draw at Elland Road, be a decent gate receipt for them, won't be easy for us , Histon springs to mind

wouldn't be devastated if we went out though, we have never really had many good years in recent times and this season its clicking, we need to keep the league as our main objective

[SVH]

Looking forward to Leeds - proper club and proper fans. I would love to see them back in the Prem.

It's certainly winnable but we need Leeds to have an off day.

Yes exactly. You lot need to concentrate on the league. I care deeply about your side and wouldn't want you playing your strongest side and the possibility of 4 or 5 of your star players getting injured on our rather poor pitch.

Yep, ask LVG about the state of our pitch. Oh and how everything was against Man U. We tried too hard as well apparently.....

Obviously I want a win but I wouldn't be upset with a draw or defeat. As long as we give it a good go and don't get thrashed.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Not sure what sort of side Leeds put out against us but I didn't think they looked that great when when we played them in the league cup earlier this season, probably should have won the game in the end IMO with Marriotts missing 2 open goals.

Obviously picked up since then but I'd certainly think Cambridge have got more than a fair chance of beating them.

I am also willing to bet your house too on that.

It would be extremely typical Argyle to beat Donny on Saturday and then lose to Newport. Do what i'm doing and put a wedge of money on the double! Good returns.

Unfortunately I never bet. But I do rather agree with you.

One of my boys also supports Liverpools, the other Arsenal and my football heart is in east London. So the ideal scenario would be to go to Anfield and win, draw the gooners, win in the library and then give me a reason to go to the London Stadium. You can bet, I can wistfully dream! You are much more likely to be successful.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Our replay with Newport is on BT Sport 21st December.

They must have really been struggling for games!
