Although not the excitement of previous years, still nice to watch what is the greatest sporting competition in the world from the outside. Hope there are 'romantic' ties drawn today!
interested in two teams in the draw, to see who Brighton get after having the easiest of easy routes to round 3, and also the donny/mansfield one, donny move into their new ground pn Jan 1st and I get a feeling they will get a biggun at home and fill their spanking new ground :sad:
As long as our relegation rivals don't get any of the big teams that is fine by me.. all we need is one of them to get a 500k bonus and bring in a good loanee and we are dooooomed.
Probably the dullest third round draw I can remember. Absolutely no interest, in fact I've just this minute discovered the draw had been made, what happened to the return to the tradition Mon lunchtime draw like last year.
Three of the so-called top four involved in all-premiership ties, with Liverpool and Arsenal against each other.
There goes any romance.![]()

i've got a feeling it's Monday lunchtime from now on, but that the 3rd round draw has always been on the Sunday afternoon... could be wrong...
