Sunderland's 2026 FA Cup run ...

There might not be such a rush to buy tickets for the last away match of the season to visit their new ground now







Yes, there will

 

Saudis home to Bournemouth

 

Joe Cole and Peter Crouch have pulled out some sh1te draws

 

Hope it’s the same scoreline as when they last played them at home…

 

Lots of London derbies and all prem ties

 

One of the worst 3rd round draws I've seen. Full of boring ties.

We might get on the TV.

 

well that was sh1te...

the dream of the lower league clubs to get a big name was always part of the run, this was a damp squid.

 

Ffs it would have been nice to get a lower league team and be in the position to give the majority of our first team a rest whilst giving some younguns a run out

 

Should get at least 7k. Hopefully it's not on the Monday night.

It'll be alright Guendouzi and Soule will be making their debuts

 

Spurs, Brentford and Everton all away in a week! Lovely

 

I'm happy with that, I don't have to worry about getting a ticket for the league game now ...

... and I think we have a good chance of winning.

 

I think most squids are damp tbf

 

Exactly, get through and you're up and running.

 

But if a "meh" draw to me, to be honest, especially looking at it overall.

I don't think Everton are that good so we've probably got a decent chance there and we should get a decent allocation as well as a good chance of it being televised. But it's a strange one to think about resting players for. Do we go for it because with the rest of the draw there's a chance a lot of premier league teams could go out? Including us there's 4 all EPL ties and teams like Forrest, Wolves, West Ham, Leeds and Chelsea have tricky ties on paper. Liverpools game might not be easy either in their current form. Unlikely, but it's not out of the question that over half of the EPL could go out including some big guns and that could give us a great chance of a long cup run. However I'd hate for us to pick up any serious injuries to key players (ala LND a couple of years back) particularly with AFCON going on at the same time. And I'd hate for a hard cup run to come at the expense of our league form.

I'll trust the club to make the right call, I'm not going to get too bothered either way.

 

Agreed, it's great knowing our club have everything under control.

 

gone now after that draw le bris will play weakend team the mags yet another home draw is this fixed ? although they did not get westen super mare which a surprise.

 

That depends on the next few results in my opinion.

 

I got done by autocorrect there.

That said, we do have Northampton and Southampton.

 

I know mate, I was just being a pedantic tosser ...

... English was always my top subject so tend to pick up on the slightest fing.

 

Sure I've heard jocks say Western-super-mare mind, with an audible R on the Weston part. Bloody jocks.
