@rse

lousy draw again

Re: Fa Cup

Still 5th round here we come

Is that home or away?

 

[Nada Bee]

Good in a way, cos i think we can beat either of them

 

[Ash Bee]

What a rubbish tie

 

[GABS]

Boooo - we best beat em cos thats a crap draw. 5th Round could be waiting tho...

 

[Mateo the Bee]

home

 

[wibs]

on the contrary, I think that gives us a hell of a good chance to progress. Away would have been pants

 

[Chiswick bee]

what a load of c*ap

at least its at home!

 

[mhead bee]

disapointed with the draw but I really fancy our chances!!!

Another capacity 8000 crowd on the way

 

[RoyBee]

Sh%t draw but I guess we could beat either at home.

I guess those Burnley in-breds would bring the bigger away support.

 

[hanwell bee]

oh well

just imagine if if had been away though...

still, 5th round here we come

 

[kojebee]

Concentrate on this tie (good chance of winning) and then the odds on getting a decent draw in round five shorten. Let's have confidence!

 

[Balders Bee]

It couldn't have got much worse really. A game against tricky mid to lower table first division opposition. True we are easily capable of beating both but it's certainly not the draw we all dreamed of.....

Still on the plus side it's a home tie and another repeat of the Derby atmosphere result will do nicely thanks very much!!!!



:sad:

 

[big neil]

suits me!

i don't mind missing that!
no need to cancel my trip to tunisia now.

 

[Ashford Bees]

hardly a money spinner.....Burnley might bring a few down I suppose.

 

[Bee H]

f*ck it !

it could have been worse




but it could have been a whole lot better

 

[Heston Bee]

I convinced myself we'd be away to Farnborough or Rochdale, compared to those two options I'd say this was a glamour tie!

 

[Leonardo]

Lucky Farnborugh. Arsenal at home, although I guess that might be switched to Highbury to increase gate revenue or on police advice as its otherwise known as.

When is the match?

 

[Trandy]

I am devastasted. :sad:

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

bit of an anti-climax but isnt it always like that with brentford and cup draws??

on the plus side we can beat grimsby but would be a smaller gate on the other plus side we'd get much more for burnley and if we beat them it could be a bit tasty after

only away to either of these would have been worse


i want burnley for the better atmosphere

fair play to farnborough after the worse draw for the 3rd round - they certainly deserve their reward

 

[237bee]

At least it is at home - i wouldnt have fancied our chances much up in the land of the rusty unused trawler or the BNP third reich.

 

[Ash Bee]

5 games in a row at G.P

After the draw it means we will play 5 games at home in a row

Notts County Sat 18th Jan
Cambridge Tue 21st Jan
Grimsby/Burnley Sat 25th Jan
Huddersfield Sat 1st Feb
Crewe Sat 8th Feb

 

[Markybee]

I am devastasted. :sad:

Cheer up Rob....at least we are at home AND can win.

THEN we will get Man Utd/Arse/Chelsea away

 

[Watford Bee]

hardly a money spinner.....Burnley might bring a few down I suppose.

Should be a bigger away support than Derby had, especially with all the magnificent advertising for the competition put out by the Beeb this last weekend. I will be disappointed if it's not a full house.

 

[BEEWILD]

Could have been a lot worse (Wimbledon away is the one I didnt want). No Fears tho ... 5th rnd here we come.

 

[karaokebee]

Coould have been better but I am gald we have got them at home and not away.

5th round here we come

it still won't be good enough for Noad£s though !

 

[Houghton Bee]

Poor, cant see more than 7500-8000 coming (tho that is all extra unaccounted for money, tho it wont make much difference eh Noad£$??!!), but at least we have a fair chance to beat them.

If we'd have been drawn with Crewe or Bournemouth tho :no:

Good luck to Farnborough, even tho we need to play a team like Arsenal in the fifth round

 

[Speedo]

Bunch of Ar*e!!

Hopefully we can look forward to the 5th round draw, which will be better!

 

[blondie_dcfc]

I know it's not what you guys wanted, but you are capable of beating both Grimsby or Burnley - so go for it!!

See likkle ode Farnborough drew Arsenal?! Bless 'em!! Or should I say Fanny v Arse - soz, couldn't resist that one!!

Here's the full draw:

Norwich/Brighton v Plymouth/Dagenham & Redbridge
Southampton v Cambridge/Millwall
Walsall/Reading v Wimbledon
Blackburn v Bolton/Sunderland
Rochdale v Cardiff/Coventry
Fulham v Charlton
Sheffield United v Ipswich
Shrewsbury v Chelsea
Stoke v Bournemouth/Crewe
Brentford v Grimsby/Burnley
Farnborough v Arsenal
Manchester United v West Ham
Gillingham/Sheff Wed v Leeds
Wolves v Leicester
Watford v West Brom
Crystal Palace v Liverpool

 

[Edmundo]

Good luck to Farnborough, even tho we need to play a team like Arsenal in the fifth round

I'd settle for home to Farnborough in Round 5.

 

[BenMoses]

It really could have been worse, but I fancy our chances less than against Derby

 

[Alex]

I said it before (but someone deleted it rather than merge threads)

b***ocks!

 

[Mikey Bee]

I'm happy with the draw. Have a party to go to in the evening and non attendance due to a trip Oop North would NOT have been appreciated !!

Roll On United in the 5th round !

 

[Indian Bee]

what an anti-climax...a bit like the Derby draw but thank god its at home and i dont think either of them will fancy coming down to Brentford

I'd rather have Burnley, as the Voice said a better atmosphere and well im sure they will bring 1500 plus down!!

Should be 9000 plus there to see the Bees on their way to Victory!!!

 

[Happytobee]

It's an unexciting draw but hey, we are in the 4th round unlike teams such as Everton, QPR and Birmingham.

And we have a chance of winning this tie.

If we did get through to the 5th Round, then going on league positions only (obviously there will be some surprises) then we would be in the draw with:

Norwich
Southampton
Reading
Blackburn
Coventry
Charlton
Sheff Utd
Chelsea
Stoke
Arsenal
Man. Utd.
Leeds
Leicester
West Brom
Liverpool

Now if that's not a motivation to beat Grimsby or Burnley then I don't know what is.

Victory away at Blackburn in round 5 and off to Anfield in the 6th Round.

Overcome by deja vu at this point !!!!!!

 

[Bee H]

I said it before (but someone deleted it rather than merge threads)

b***ocks!

you just wanted an away trip on The Porn Express you old dirty !

 

[Edmundo]

I said it before (but someone deleted it rather than merge threads)

b***ocks!

Deleted it? b***ocks they did!

b***ocks!

Considering that four different threads were started on this topic, I'm amazed that nothing went wrong in tidying them up!

 

[Watford Bee]

Remembering both of our cup runs in the last 30 years, all our "results" have been against teams in what is currently the first division.

While we keep progressing, we are picking up additional, unbudgeted revenue in the form of gates, prizes and hopefully at some point - TV money.

 

[JBN]

Reasonable draw. May not be a big money spinner, but then we wern't at capacity for Derby and we have a better chance of reaching round 5 than we would playing Ar5e, ManUre etc.

With 8 premiershit teams out and a further three to go out in the next round it makes it a bit interesting.

Could we be heading for Europe ?

 

[Wise old Bee]

Could have been worse, Cardiff or Millwall away for example. Knowing the b***ocks coverage of the FA Cup by the BBC this season don't be surprised if we are shown live on Sunday afternoon. It's better to be in a position where we slip into round five unnoticed than have to put up with the sort of patronising crap that Farnborough/Rochdale/Shrewsbury will have to put up with over the next few weeks. Then, who knows? Put the Fullers ESB on ice, we're going to Cardiff twice!

 

['Ayes B]

Then, who knows? Put the Fullers ESB on ice, we're going to Cardiff twice!

I'm confident taht we will go to Cardiff twice without getting to the FA Cup Final. Maybe will make it on a hatrick of occassions

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

there can be NO DRAW - cant think of two worst places in our green and pleasant land on a wintry evening to spend 2 hours - welcome to hell indeed............

 

[Andy Mutton]

I was not impressed when Grimsby or Burnley came out. But with it being at home, we have a reasonable chance of beating either of them if we play like we did against Derby.

I think Grimsby will be easier, although Burnley would almost certainly fill the away end.

 

[paulmaddy]

Not a great draw but at least we are at home which is good and its a game we could win. I reckon Burnley would bring down 2000+ if they get through and we would get a 10000+ crowd (even withstanding Brentford's mysterious crowd counting).

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

we'd have to have 15,000 in the crowd for the club to put 10,000 - perhaps we've still got our old capacity from pre 85??!! rofl
