    Always seem to get a Premier league side don't we..

    Been ages since we got a League One/Two side.

    After the Gills farce cannot take losing to another lower league team though.

    Maybe a rare derby against Luton (I'd actually fear they'd beat us!)

    If you get them, watch out for Cameron McGeehan, he was captain of our FA Youth cup winning team. I had high hopes he would make the grade with us but he loves being with L*ton and he is a big fans' favourite!

    Well Lloyd Dyer might have a point to prove!

    Overall it was a pretty rubbish draw.

    Hopefully we'll win...

    From the BBC:

    Before the main draw there was a rehearsal, with some interesting pairings. Here are some highlights:

    Accrington Stanley v Arsenal
    Liverpool v Reading
    Rochdale v Everton
    Huddersfield v Chelsea
    Blackpool v West Ham
    Manchester United v Watford

    From watching them last year while Hasselbaink was still manager, they play good football. I think they still do under Clough Jr. We want to finish the tie at the Vic, as the Pirelli is a tight stadium with a capacity of just over 6,000 with terracing on 3 sides and at least one corner isn't filled in so it's freezing if it's windy and I went in October, not January.

    I think City, rather than United, is more traditional. ;)
