Dave Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I reckon it will be Preston. Play them in the league the weekend after the next round and it often seems to happen that clubs seem to get whoever they have in the league that week. Us/ wolves city/ Swansea I want any winnable game to get to the QF. If it is a premiership team away wouldn't mind as long as it would be a good away day like Liverpool or West Ham Well done lad! Happens all the time Out by a factor of 10 on the Sissoko fee, wind your neck in. Now now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Heart almost imploded when the mackems and us were in the last 4 to be drawn take that though. As someone earlier just said, only Arsenal and us will be happy with that draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Another home draw, is this real life? To be fair we have had quite favourable draws in recent years in the cup, we have just chosen to chuck them away. I can't remember the last tough draw we had in the FA cup. I'm taking nothing for granted, learnt my lesson in that wolves game. Over half a chance of playing one of the top teams in the quarters too if we get there. Be good to be competing in the latter stages of cups again though and with Rafa this time who knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 League or cup first? League first, both hopefully. The cup will come anyway if Rafa's still here as long as Pardew was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head in the last 10 year or so we have had Stevenage, Brighton x2, Cardiff, Leicester when they played there reserves, Watford, Plymouth, Birmingham, hull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Well this is interesting, could be waltzing into a QF (safety anti-jinx parentheses). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If I was Rafa, the Preston game would be another rotation exercise but I'd be going all guns blazing if we made it into the quarters. With the semis being over two legs, there's every chance of getting to the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Worth pointing out that we're at home prior to the Preston game (Ipswich on the 22nd Oct), so that'll benefit us again. The quarter-final fixture, should we get there, would follow a home game too (Blackburn on the 26th Nov). Likewise for the semi-final second leg (Rotherham at home on the 21st Jan).
