Made tonight on Sky Sports 4 & SSN after the Newcastle v Morecambe, presumably about 10 - 10:15ish providing the match finishes at full time. Who would you like? Personally, a home tie against lower tier opposition would be great. Teams already through to the third round draw: Man United Man City Chelsea Arsenal Tottenham Swansea Wigan Saints Bristol City Burnley Fulham Leicester Derby Leeds Huddersfield Hull Liverpool Norwich Peterborough Swindon Sunderland Tranmere West Ham Birmingham West Brom Playing tonight: Accrington v Cardiff Aston Villa v Rotherham Everton v Stevenage Morecambe v Newcastle Nottingham Forest v Millwall Stoke v Walsall Watford v Bournemouth
An away tie against a team who we can beat that isn't too far to travel: Bournemouth (although they most probably won't win tonight), Swindon or Bristol City. In reality we will get Leeds away again!
Best case scenario is: Man United v Man City Arsenal v Spurs Chelsea v Liverpool Then I don't really care who we get
I'd love Bournemouth away, but I don't think they'll win either. I wouldn't mind someone like Tranmere, let's get a cup run going!!
I agree with both of you. If we could get a 4-0+ win, it would also increase confidence around the players. I'm really positive about this season, it's going to be excellent. It's still crazy to think back a few years, and compare it to now.
Away to B'mouth! Other than that a home game against lower league side. I miss the midweek games of L1.
I think we will get West Ham at home simply for the reason that we are playing them in the league soon. Don't really care who we get, as long as it is at home.
Is this a wind up? On 3 visits to Tranmere I have seen us lose 4-3, 2-1 and 2-0. Anyone but Tranmere, please.
OK Ball 17 v M U would be great. We then have the opportunity to beat them 3 times in a season and maybe 4 if we meet in the FA Cup!!!
