    Are any of you bothered about the FA Cup this season or do you see this as just an irrelevance? With the way things have worked out for you so far this season perhaps a good cup run will serve as a timely boost for confidence.

    The live draw is on BBC2 at 7pm tonight....

    Who would you like to be drawn against?

    We will play a second string side who will inevitably meekly surrender. So I'd like someone from the top 2 or 3 divisions (except the binners!) so the embaressment and angst can be kept to a minimum.

    Bah!

    The under 21s beat them away 2 - 4 last week, so that old chestnut is well and truly roasted by an open fire <ok>

    From a Town point of view I would rather us do what we normally do and exit without a whimper to a team like Preston! Much bigger fish to fry this season.

    I'd take that, an exit with zero hope of otherwise. It's the hope that kills ya!And as a plus I don't know any Fulham fans so Michael extraction would be kept to a minimum. I just don't want another Luton, Shrewsbury etc etc

    Bah!

    The only game i would even consider attending would be the Binners
    at home.
    My experiences over the last few years have left me completely
    uninterested in any cup games.

    Your ball is number 29!

    So 20 Vs 29 or 29 Vs 20!

    Personally I want 20 Vs 23!

    If we did, for example, draw Watford, would Bassong be eligible to play, as it's a cup game?

    If so, I'm busily hatching next year's opening conspiracy theory :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I wanted Posh away but the Tescoes scuppered that one.

    Actually the Tescoes away would be quite nice - we could start a war with Mikey and Monarch again ...

    I want you lot to play Arsenal and hear Wenger talk about your rugby tactics again then whipe their proverbial arses with you at the Emerirates like last time.
    We are not a cup side so unless Luton want to humiliate us again I would happily take another lackluster loss .

    Binners get Saints which, assuming they don't get absolutely destroyed, they're probably quite pleased with. Saints will play a reserve side so even away Binners have a chance

    Well, this thread appears to have fizzled out.
    A bit like any East Anglian teams' chances of reaching the fourth round <yikes> <laugh>

    City have done nothing in the Cups since the days of Dave Stringer. Shrewsbury all over again methinks.

    Since the mega embarrassment of Luton it will
    take us to get to a quarter final to get me
    even slightly bothered

    Never mind folks we'll give you a nice welcome after your 6 hour trip from East Anglia, no disrespect but as United were still knocking around in the last 8 balls to be drawn and we get yourselves. Could have been worse it could have been at Carrow Road.

    Ah ha, it will be us who exits without a whimper vs preston! Seriously though what a sad state of affairs, that there is such appathy towards a once great cup competition, money hent half ruined the game!

    Bah!
