The Budweiser FA Cup

[Adam]

I'm glad they've won, they were unlucky in the first leg and there haven't been enough big upsets yet this year. Tremendous effort by Stourbridge.

[Lineker]

Nice easy non-league side would be perfect!

The excitement is building ahead of Sunday's FA Cup with Budweiser Third Round draw as the 44 teams from the Premier League and Championship enter the fray.

Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola and ex-Everton and Sheffield United midfielder Li Tie will make the draw at Wembley Stadium shortly after the final whistle in the Sunday afternoon Second Round meeting between AFC Totton and Bristol Rovers, which is live on ITV1.

That fixture is one of 20 games this weekend as teams eye a place in the hat for the next round where they could face one of the country's 'big-boys' in a Third Round match over the weekend of 7 and 8 January 2012.

Clubs and fans will be waiting with anticipation for their team's number to be pulled out by the former the Italy and China internationals making the draw.

Holders and current Premier League leaders Manchester City will by number 24, while their rivals from Old Trafford, eleven-time winners United, are number 25. Zola's old side Chelsea, who won the last Cup Final at the old Wembley and the first at the new, will be number 12. Li Tie will be keeping a keen eye on balls 17 (Everton) and 47 (Sheffield United).

Ties to be played on the weekend of 7 and 8 January 2012

[GA!]

Come on lucky 45 (replay pending).

[NobBe Nobbs]

...why are Charlton #64 when half the list is done alphabetically?

[Lineker]

Only the top two tier teams are listed alphabetically.

[GA!]

The second half is listed in order of the 2nd round draw. Salisbury vs. Grimsby was first out of the bowl of doom, Charlton vs. Carlisle was last.

[Colly]

Faffiness of having the balls decided before yesterdays games. Just gutted Gateshead went out, would've loved them to get a massive tie.

[Starvinho]

I'll take a home draw and I'll be happy, I wanna win this this season it has been way too long since we won a FA Cup. I think this is our longest wait for a FA Cup since like the 60's or something like that.

[Lineker]

Bloody Tottonham.

[Lineker]

Cheltenham town at home, lovely.

Manchester derby!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Not surprised one bit about drawing City, actually expected it.

Should be a cracking tie.

[Lineker]

Birmingham vs. Wolves too as well.

Arsenal at home against Leeds.

[Baddar]

Awesome draw! Can't wait.

[DavidMarrio]

WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN DRAWN A HOME TIE IN A CUP THIS SEASON WTF!!!!!!

[9 to 5]

Well, me and Gazz go to war again then.

[Colly]

First home tie in either cup in living memory, and its chuffing Blackburn again. Suppose there's a chance of Carling Cup revenge, but it doesn't exactly scream the romance of the FA Cup.

[Baddar]

Chelsea in home tie vs. lower league side FA Cup shocker. I now want Stoker to have a go, providing stats on how Utd get more.

How can you moan about a random draw? Is it because you're going to get 'repeatedly dicked'?

This isn't FM where you get drawn against the same team you play in the league the week before the cup game.
