Why do we always seem to get bang average opposition.

Useless ****s.

I know what you mean, though we've had a few interesting ties over the years in fairness.

Gillingham away was an, um, experience.
Trips to Cambridge & Newport in recent years as well.
Grimsby and Lincoln at home.

Be good to get a non league side one day though.

Most of those were league cup. Only Grimsby wasn't iirc.

Home ties against minnows are a bit meh anyway. I can only ever remember drawing one non league club in my time going and it was Luton who barely qualified.
 
I don't suppose Swansea are overly excited either but probably see this as a good chance of advancing into the next round. Don't blame them either, any team should fancy their chances against us.
The interesting part is that as managers usually pick a weakened team in the cup these days, where on earth is Russell Martin going to find a team any weaker than we already are?

Liverpool v Accrington for me, perhaps the Spurs tie, but those are great too. Best third round draw in a long time, I think

Liverpool Accrington is great too but would be so much better if Accrington were at home. Agree it's the best draw for ages (except us of course - standard).

I bet the GMP are pleased about the City Salford tie!

Don't they televise about 6 games now?

There's absolutely no chance they don't show the City Salford game given the proximity and the ex United involvement in Salford.
 
I wonder if we'll end up on that Welsh TV channel on the Tuesday night.

Highly doubt I'll go anyway.

I think we played Swansea several years ago in the FA Cup which was aired by BBC Wales. I remember Valery getting sent off.

Just realised we play United the following Thursday so it should be over the weekend at least.
