Bleugh! Not sure what to make of that, hopefully they rest everyone and play their under 18s
Southampton v Swansea
Arsenal v Man Utd
Exeter City v Oxford Utd
Orient v Derby
Reading v Burnley
Aston Villa v West Ham Utd
Norwich v Brighton
Man City v Salford
Millwall v Dagenham
Liverpool v Accrington Stanley
Bristol City v Wolves
Preston v Charlton
Chelsea v Morecambe
Middlesbrough v Blackburn
Bournemouth v West Brom
Mansfield v Wigan
Tamworth v Tottenham
Hull v Doncaster
Sunderland v Stoke
Leicester v QPR
Brentford v Plymouth
Coventry v Sheffield Weds
Newcastle v Bromley
Everton v Peterborough
Wycombe v Portsmouth
Birmingham v Lincoln
Leeds v Harrogate
Nottm Forest v Luton
Sheff Utd v Cardiff City
Ipswich v Bristol Rovers
Fulham v Watford
Palace v Stockport
Almost inevitable we’d draw another championship team. Great draw for Tamworth, bit more interesting than our game!
Ah the magic of the cup
crap draw
Just glad we ain't at home versus a small club with 5 thousand rattling around inside the ground and losing.
7 decent ties.
I wish they'd seed it to get more opportunities for giant killing.
Stuffed at Sheffield Wednesday last season, Utd's turn to wallop us this year.
It was one of the best performances of the season. Caution thrown to the winds.Quote:

A chance for revenge after they beat us in the FA Cup final in the 1924/25 season. How is that not exciting?!
id hate for it to be seededQuote:

I didn't see the draw, Man City Salford, we will have plenty of coverage of that no doubt.
Awful draw for us.

And crowding around a wireless in work to hear the Monday dinner time draw.Quote:

From what I can gather the last midday Monday draw was 1999, maybe correct:shrug: it was football tradition that the draw was the dinner time on the Monday after the Saturday’s previous round. It was part of the FA’s business of the day and, from what I can remember, the radio coverage started just as an FA official was saying “And the next item on today’s agenda is the draw for the next round of The Football Association Challenge Trophy”. The excitement & anticipation has been severely diluted in my opinion with the celebrity thing of the present.Quote:
