Wonder who we're getting in the Fourth Round.

Ipswich.

Wonder who we're getting in the Fourth Round.

Ipswich.

Wouldn't shock me too much.

Slightly disappointed by another home draw. It will be the seventh year in a row that Chelsea have been at home in the 3rd round.

Still, I do have a Ipswich/Man Utd supporting friend at work. That'll provide some banter at least.

[Lineker]

The draw in full.

FA Cup third round draw:


Burnley v Port Vale

Coventry v Crystal Palace

Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday

Fulham v Peterborough

Doncaster v Wolves

Brighton or FC United of Manchester v Portsmouth

Huddersfield v Dover Athletic

Crawley Town or Swindon v Derby

West Ham v Barnsley

Reading v West Brom

Arsenal v Leeds

Sheffield Utd v Aston Villa

Leicester v Man City

Bolton v York

Blackburn v QPR

Swansea v Colchester

Wycombe v Hereford or Lincoln

Stevenage v Newcastle

Burton Albion v Middlesbrough

Millwall v Birmingham

Southampton v Blackpool

Watford v Hartlepool or Yeovil

Chelsea v Ipswich

Sunderland v Notts County or Bournemouth

Scunthorpe v Everton

Man Utd v Liverpool

Hull v Wigan

Stoke v Cardiff

Tottenham v Charlton or Luton

Preston v Nottingham Forest

Norwich v Droylsden or Leyton Orient

Torquay v Carlisle [/code]


Some good ties in there, no doubt as to what the tie of the round is. As Watford are my local team, I would dearly love Luton to get past Charlton so we can thoroughly humiliate them.

[MGW]

As soon as it came on I knew we'd end up with the Scum. Oh well, at least it'll be on telly...

[Adam]

Everton could have problems away at Scunthorpe.

Scunthorpe's last home win was in August. Their home record this season is 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats. If Everton don't win that they need banning from the tournament for a few years.

Also, no offence to Wolves but I'm well bored by that draw. A home tie against a Premier League team who will probably beat us, but aren't big enough at all to merit it being a 'big game', and one that was in our division 2 years ago no less.

YES!

1-1 with Droylsden!

FFS Orient, stop playing DS and start playing football. Fuckers.

Leeds away at Arsenal in the third round...

First Man U...

Now Arsenal...

don't really give us an easy third round tie do they?! Here's hoping for a repeat of last year though!

[Lineker]

Will that lead to a total league collapse like last year though!

[Noodles]

Doesn't matter if it does... If we get a repeat of last year, we'll still be seeing Premier League football next season!

[Lineker]

I like Leeds. I think next year they'll come up, and I hope they do. Just one of those teams that should be up there.

Plus I have loads of mates up at Leeds uni (Y)

[Crybaby Bunting]

I'd love them to come up next year.

Probably because successive promotions would result in them having a lower points tally than Derby...

[stokeriño]

Leyton Orient 8 - 2 Droylsden

(HT 0 - 1)

After Extra Time

* Kilheeny 6' (0-1)

* Brown 54' (0-2)

* Chorley (pen) 77' (1-2)

* Tehoue 89' (2-2)

* M'Poku 93' (3-2)

* McGleish 97' (4-2)

* Tehoue 99' (5-2)

* Tehoue 107' (6-2)

* McGleish 108' (7-2)

* McGleish 119' (8-2)

That is far and away the biggest Extra Time raping I've ever seen.

Leeds vs. Arsenal is on ITV tomorrow, what a fantastic upset that would be...

[lanky316]

Come on the nolongerboro! I'm still bitter about being suspended from school for being taunted about losing the replay at St James' park (only one person in the planet thought Shearer had scored that...) so hoping for vengence. Doubt it though as we're not playing too well, that said the 97/98 team were probably the worst Stevenage side I've seen so we could get lucky.

... Whoa, Leeds are doing it again.

[Lineker]

There isn't a greater sight than seeing Arsenal fans boo their own side.

Baring in mind Arsenal fans are delighted they are in Carling Cup semi finals, none of them can turn round and say "its only the FA Cup".

[lanky316]

Dowd was desperate to give a penalty in the end in wasn't he? Probably softest penalty for shirt pulling you'll see, but the first might have been a pen so guess it's swings and roundabouts. Still it's funny to see the relief from the typically quiet Gooners. Think they might snatch the winner now.

[Shelty92]

Two penalty claims in a row for Arsenal, the second one given. Fabregas scored.

The guy streaming the match must be a Leeds fans since he shut it down right away after the ball hit the net.

[Jimmy]

Aresenal deserved one of the two penalties. Though, Leeds owe their keeper a huge pat on the back for an amazing save.
