The Emirates FA Cup 5th round draw

[Manuel]

Shit at home is what I would like.

*waits for the you just know it will be City or Liverpool away comments.

[Tomshardware]

Decent draw. Come on Macclesfield! 

[cup of tea]

That'll do!

[CrowleyHammer]

I'm going for Wolves away.
2 of the bottom 3 fying for a Q/F who'd have thought 

It would be classic west ham to lose 4 times to the team finishing bottom!

[Mad Dog]

Im in Southampton that weekend. 
so i bet its saints at home

[Takashi Miike]

[BoleynGone]

I'm going for Wolves away.

[El Scorchio]

Norwich away, or a media storm if we face Wrexham who’ll be hoping it’s a changing of the guard moment. 

And may I say bollocks to Wrecsam and to fuck off back to where they came from. 

I wouldn’t fancy Wrexham away. 

[Fauxstralian]

Hopefully Mansfield at home

Mansfield then go into administration the week before & we go through on a bye

[Pub Bigot]

[Jasnik]

It will be fulham or man city as we always seem to get the teams we are going to play. around that time 

[Trilby55]

I forecast Newcastle at home .

[BRANDED]

Lets hope we get a home draw against a winnable side.

[El Scorchio]

In 5 of the last 14 seasons we've been knocked out by a Manchester team, and only once was it past the fifth round and twice in the third. So that's not the best luck. 

In six of the last 10 EFL cups we've been knocked out by Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal or spurs. Four of those in the QF stage though.

In all fairness, I imagine several side's records aren't too dissimilar and a lot of cup runs end at the hands of those teams particularly late in the tournament. BUT the above doesn't include times we've been drawn against those sides in earlier rounds and actually won. There have been a few of those as well. 

It's probably not as bad as some of us think, but I do believe we draw these sides more than our fair share, particularly in early rounds of tournaments. I think we are somewhat less than 50:50 in terms of getting home draws as well.

Man City/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal vs Mansfield.

I don’t want to come across as a pedant but the chances of 1 of those 4 teams getting Mansfield is quite high because they make up a quarter of the teams left.

Anyone who thinks the draw is fixed probably also believes in the earth being flat. 

Fair point, but it always seems to be a home draw for the big guns.

[the coming of gary]

... and our nine opponents before that ;

Man Utd
Doncaster
Stockport 
West Brom
Gillingham
Wimbledon
Birmingham
Wigan 
Shrewsbury

No Liverpool, Man City, or Chelsea in the last nineteen
.

[nychammer]

It’ll be Man City. Always is. 

 

must be about time to put their ball in the freezer

[the coming of gary]

Our last ten FA Cup opponents ; seems a fair mix

Burton
QPR
Aston Villa
Bristol City
Man Utd
Derby
Brentford
Southampton
Kidderminster
Leeds
.

[BRANDED]

It’ll be Man City. Always is. 

[Justin P]

[Massive Attack]

What a fucking shit game to have on.

This thread doesn't concern you as you've already been knocked out. 

[twoleftfeet]

What a fucking shit game to have on.

You’re North London rivals showing you how it should be done. 

[Mad Ferret]

What a fucking shit game to have on.

[El Scorchio]

Is the draw this afternoon or do they wait for the Monday game?

MOTD said the last time Mansfield were in the 5th Round was 1975
Thats an OMEN obviously
West Ham to beat a team in black & white (Newcastle?) 2-0 in the final with Taty TAYLOR scoring twice

Tomorrow evening before the game
