HaydnNUFC Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Don't see many ties jumping out as ones that are certainly to be on TV. Probably any of these; Chelsea v Chesterfield Liverpool v Shrewsbury Kidderminster v Reading (?) Hull v Everton Spurs v Morecambe Millwall v Palace Swindon v Man City Man Utd v Aston Villa Newcastle v Cambridge Nottm Forest v Arsenal Been a mostly naff draw imo.

Wolfcastle Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 David Kelly as half-time hero in honour of the last time we played Cambridge at home and he got that hat-trick after the fans demanded he get the spot kick - would be nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see there being 40k+ Never lost to them in the dark days - 1-1, 0-2, 4-1, 0-3 Keegan said the 0-2 was his best since taking over very unlike Newcatle considering they were on the brink of promotion to the Premier League and we were fighting relegation, allied with their barbaric football and our pretty, softer stuff - had a stuffing all over it.

Yorkie Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Man Utd vs Aston Villa will inevitably be on so it's that and three (?) others. Swindon-ManC you'd expect to be televised as well seeing as it's at the lower league team's ground. Chelsea at home to Chesterfield is the most typical draw ever, like. Since Abramovich came, home ties in R3: Scunthorpe twice, Huddersfield, Macclesfield, QPR, Southend, Ipswich, Portsmouth, Watford twice, Peterborough, Forest twice, Morecambe, Chesterfield. And aways: Watford, Southampton, Derby, Norwich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 An ideal fixture this. We're in for a tough ride up to the new year and we may need a fixture such as this to help us retain some confidence and kick start some momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that for the big 6, this cup isn't seen as being 'important' to them, so most probably put out their 2nd or 3rd 11's - so there is the potential for an upset or two. I could easily see Man City even putting out their 4th 11 - as all of these 'fringe' player need proper experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Cheshire-Toon Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Do anyone know when the TV side of things is going to be sorted out ? Hopefully the sooner the better as if this was on a Saturday then I might be tempted to go (fingers crossed). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy23 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Cambridge fan here. What a draw for us. Our goal this season is to stay in league one as we quite unexpectedly got promoted last season and we are a pretty small club in league one. Fully expect us to get battered but will be a great weekend nether the less and hopefully a few pounds in the bank to keep us going. Haven't been up to Newcastle for a few years and can't wait - going to make a great weekend of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
