Fate will pair us with the Vile no doubt. Would that make 2 matches in a week against them?? DD

I would like to get through next round and play villa in the semis if they get through too. What a day that would be at Wembley
RE: FA Cup 2015 - aries22 - 16-02-2015
Give me Bradford away. We can beat them on their own pudding of a pitch.

Lucky we've got Roy drawing them and not you!
RE: FA Cup 2015 - wba_1996 - 16-02-2015
In order of preference:
Bradford - giant killers but at the end of the day they are a League 2 team who we should be beating
Reading - less firepower than Blackburn and another team we should be beating
Blackburn - strong up front but, again, a team we should be beating and another draw we wouldn't complain about
Villa - would rather we avoided them, especially now Lambert has gone, but not a disaster draw by any means
Liverpool - the most beatable of the horror draws but still a massive ask
Man United - avoid at all costs
Arsenal - as above but without the dodgy defence making it the worst possible draw
RE: FA Cup 2015 - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 16-02-2015
Also, we're reaching the point in the competition where a home draw is massively preferable. Whether or not we fill the stadium, Pulis is very much a strong-on-home-turf boss, and I'd back us to give even the top teams a run for their money if we play like we did against West Ham.
Draw one of the weaker teams away and it'll be winnable, but tense. Draw one of the top teams away and we've got an uphill struggle.

I don't mind who we get to be honest, except Bradford away.Their pitch is awful and a great leveller.
RE: FA Cup 2015 - Baggievicar - 16-02-2015
Really want a home tie. Really think we're going to the Emirates.
RE: FA Cup 2015 - JH Baggie - 16-02-2015
We'll get Villa at home.
