The FA and FL Cup Thread 2016/17

We may score a couple. Okay, one.

 

If Leeds win tonight I'd expect their trip to Sutton/Wimbledon will be shown... a good cup tie there.

 

Apologies if it was discussed at the time and I missed it, but I've only just realised that Gardos wasn't in the squad on Saturday. I thought he was back playing in the Checkatrade trophy, but Puel favoured no CB on the bench v Norwich. Either Puel doesn't rate Gardos, or he's still a way off a first team return. Either way, with the current issue around Fonte, I think it's important.

 

Draw in full:

Tottenham Hotspur v Wycombe Wanderers

Derby County v Leicester City

Oxford United v Newcastle United or Birmingham City

AFC Wimbledon or Sutton United v Cambridge United or Leeds United

Plymouth Argyle or Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Southampton or Norwich City v Arsenal

Lincoln or Ipswich v Brighton

Chelsea v Brentford

Manchester United v Wigan Athletic

Millwall v Watford

Rochdale v Huddersfield Town

Burnley or Sunderland v Fleetwood Town or Bristol City

Blackburn Rovers v Barnsley or Blackpool

Fulham v Hull City

Middlesbrough v Accrington Stanley

Crystal Palace or Bolton v Manchester City

 

Lincoln v Brighton on TV. Must be

 

Can't see this being a Saturday afternoon game though.

 

Doubt it.

They decide the tv games before replays are played and won't wanna risk showing an all Championship affair.

Which is why I think if Leeds win tonight they'll definitely pick that tie.

 

Gardos was in recent training pics, so must be close.

 

Derby v Leicester will almost certainly be on TV.

 

Oh FFS.

 

Wouldn't mind that too much.

Really hope it's not Man U v Wigan, Chelsea v Brentford, or Spurs v Wycombe.

Want to see 2 teams who put out strong teams really going for it - would rather watch Rochdale v Huddersfield or the winners in
AFC Wimbledon or Sutton United v Cambridge United or Leeds United

 

Ah come on it's not that bad. You'll be free to sit with the Saints fans when we get to the final.

 

Some great "derby matches" and if the replays go a certain way 4 could be in Lancashire!!!

 

Imagine how Norwich feel. They would prefer a lesser draw as a reward for beating us.

 

No doubt it will be the big Lancashire Derby with the holders versus the 2013 winners and the other dead certs will be the Midlands derby. You know something different and not the usual cliche

 

Burnley & Fleetwood would be a good tie!

 

Poor Eastleigh - what might have been!

Also for Stourhead!

 

Why can't we get a League 1/2 side?

But not a bad draw. Traditionally we play well against Arsenal, and they'll probably send reserves. A chance to knock out a top 6 side to make it easier for us later in the competition.

 

I'm hoping Norwich win because there's no chance of us beating you at St. Mary's. One of the last draws I wanted Potentially playing away against one of our bogey teams. Should you get past Norwich, which I expect you will, I won't be looking forward to this one bit.

 

Cambridge lead.
