    Town are ball number 20 in this Sunday's third round draw and the Budgies are ball number 29. An East Anglian derby maybe?

    I'd love it, but if I'm honest I'd rather us get someone like Brentford or Macc town as I'd like to see us have a better chance of making it past the 3rd round this season.. That said the chance of playing them would be an exciting prospect... However dire we have been this season

    Might get shouted down here, but I do not think the F.A. cup is high on our list of priorities, and would not think that is the main objective for Norwich, even if we draw each other, it would not be the real thing. They would chop and change their team, as we would, and hope we do whoever we play. We are in a relegation battle, the last thing we want is tired and injured players. Think you will find jwm,that Mick will not get too excited by sideshows. Cast your mind back to when Mick was manager at Wolves, he fielded a virtual reserve team against Man Utd, reasoning that they had a winnable match a few days later, and wanted to rest his main players, and they won that match.

    :-( They're all bloody miles away from me. Besides can you imagine getting the budgies in our present state, God help us? Or Stoke? Botterthepotter would be all over us like a rash.

    In and out in 90 mins please and on with operation survival.

    Northampton Town at Sixfields for me...

    I was out on the lash with some Cobblers lads last Saturday and they just had to keep on reminding me of their CC win last year... <grr>

    You wouldn't want us, honestly.

    You need feel good factor right now to get you out of the ****, what would be the point of getting hammered by us again this season.

    I think we could turn the budgies over. What an atmosphere that would be. Love it. Not arsed about playing a small team to get to the 4th round give us a proper team to pit our wits against and start inspiring a bit of ambition.

    Your defence is the worst that I have seen for a long, long time.

    We are not exactly scoring for fun but it would not be good, we would probably just play our kids or a reserve side though. Probably would still win though.

    Would be interesting to see if you would continue with your 4-4-1-1 formation if you were to play us, as I fancy we'd be able to do a job on Holt (or whoever up top) and if Hoolahoop wasn't playing then I think we'd be able to put in a very spirited and battling performance

    I highly doubt we would risk Hoolahan or Holt in a game where we could try out the fringe players.<ok>
