FA Cup

Fulham at home, not too bad a draw

 

Could be worse, does mean they're coming to Carrow Road twice in 10 days.

 

Strange how often that seems to happen with cup matches. Arsenal Vs Spurs could be a good game. Gets rid of a big club anyway.

 

Didn't we go to West Brom twice around January/February a couple of seasons ago? I'm sure we won both in the cup and the league.

 

I think you may well be right there. Both 2-1 maybe? Jed Steer played in the cup match I believe.

 

Home draw is always good

 

Correct on both points and Jed made an incredible save from what I remember. We then proceeded to lose to Leicester by the same margin in the next round!!!!!

 

Anyone else think we've been incredibly lucky with this of late?

 

Yes esp in the league cup

 

Didn't come to much last season!

 

True, but how are gate receipts split? I take it the away team don't get 50% of the takings?

 

I'm glad we haven't got a draw we will be embarrassed if we lose.

 

I'm just glad it's not Liverpool lol

 

Hughton's comments:

 

I think it's something like 45% each and the rest to the FA.

 

In recent seasons in the FA cup, we've been beaten by Leyton Orient and Luton Town.
At least this season - if we do lose, we'll be able to assume our time-honoured slot - last on MOTD, as this one won't constitute "giantkilling"

(Tongue very firmly in cheek)

 

We managed to avoid the mighty Luton Town at least..................

 

Leyton Luton and Leicester . Any home game we stand a chance .

 

I believe we haven't beaten fulham in a long long time

Either in this game or the boxing day league game we need to put that to bed including the 5-0 and the 6-0

 

Finding the FA Cup draw was my top priority once I woke this morning, and am happy enough with a home game.

Please, please, please - no 2nd XI's this time
