Moaned on to anyone who would listen that I was pissed we had to play Leicester away on the first day. The ONE day you don't want to play a newly promoted side. Knew that give it 2-3 months we'd piss all over them as they'd have gone off the boil. Albeit that said we're arguably worse now. :lol:

 

I think you'll go through fwiw. Can see it being relatively comfortable actually.

 

Also, never seen a team get such consistently easy ties as Chelsea. Seemingly every single year, lower league team at home. Like clockwork.

It's not just the domestic cups that Chelsea seems to get easy draws in, feel like their CL draws have been favourable as well.

 

Seems that way although they fucked up getting through when they won the UEFA.

Any news on what's been picked for TV etc?

 

Man Utd, Liverpool & Chelsea regardless of opposition normally do. Probably Blyth too. Thankfully theres no hope in hell of ours even being considered

I'd think it'll be Blyth v Birmingham on the Friday, then Dover v Palace, Wimbledon v Liverpool, Accrington/Yeovil v Man Utd and Arsenal V Hull over the Saturday/Sunday/Monday.

 

Close. Everton/West Ham on instead of Blyth :anguish:

That's absurd, magic of the cup.

 

No West Brom vs Gateshead either. Both NE teams have been royally screwed there.

 

As have Wrexham imo. Shocking decision to have two all PL ties, especially one as dull on paper as Evertons
