Well, surely that's just swapping around the round you face the tougher club in then?

no matter how many times you click 'disagree' on my posts - it doesn't improve your chances of sleeping with Tommy C.Carroll for Prime minister ?
Maybe the forum should do this. Clear the air.
Yes but I'm guessing in most cases it feels much more gutting getting knocked out in the later stages or even losing in the final. If man city knock us out in the first few rounds I think most of us would be over it relatively quickly. But the bonus is if we beat them, the field ahead of us has 'easier' teams.
City are going to draw Woolwich. I just have a feeling.
Have you looked at the fixture list? Unlike the 3rd & 4th round there is no premiership match in midweek. However we play away in Italy in the Europa league on the Thursday before and away on the Thursday after. Therefore the teams not in Europe and even those in the CL have us at a disadvantage. We therefore need an easy draw or will probably go out of one of the competitions as our strongest team cannot play all 3 matches.
i'd like to get Shrewsbury.
I'd like, with respect, the easiest route possible to winning the final. I bet the scum fans weren't sitting there after beating Hull or Villa and lamenting the fact they hadn't beaten one of the big teams (hmm, just remembered two seasons ago they beat ourselves and Liverpool en route so discard that and focus on last season.

I need to ask you guys who were responsible why that should be the case?
Ok, he presents an opinion contrary to the party line but isn't what's needed to promulgate debate?
Pain in the the proverbial maybe, if so put him on ignore but to suppress opinion is not healthy.

He's not a Spurs fan Hibs. I think that's obvious. This isn't politics.
is the gibbon still posting?
Came back, binned within 24 hours. Blink and you missed it.
I hope we get MK Dons in the next round
The bonus about getting a big team earlier as

mentioned would also be the chance to play them at home. Give me Man City at home followed by a weaker team at Wembley any day than the other way around.

On our day I think we can beat anyone in a cup final. It's just about negotiating it there with minimal injuries and effort.
But can we beat anyone in a 5th round tie, where we've played 5 games in 14 games? Due to the sheer number of games and the need to rotate, I don't think we can.
I wouldn't call wanting to get the luck of a draw "unfair" either.
Ok understood...that's different.
I welcome an easy home draw and will be a little disappointed in an away draw against City for example. I am condemning the comments which want an easy draw because if it doesn't happen it creates disappointment. Lets just see and enjoy whoever we get regardless of fixtures.
We cant pick and choose our games. If we want to be the best, we need to compete at all levels, whoever we play.
Want and luck of the draw are different . I agree with whoever we get. I would not want certain teams and show disappointment with others. We get who we get.
