FA Cup 3rd round draw

[Nutter-Naylor]

Monday 6th December

Who do want and who will we get?

Want. The lowest ranked team at home.

Get. Liverpool away.

Morecambe just lost 5-0 to Sunderland and are 1 point above the relegation places. That would be relegation to the 4th tier. Honestly, we could put a TFC team out and have a decent chance.

As long as sammyspurs and KaneDomBadBoy play up front to show Kane how it's done.

And ArcspacE plays DM to show PEH and Winks how it's done.

I'll play RWB even though I'm left footed to show Tanganga that it's possible to cross the halfway line!

Good grief, they're even messing around with 'kick off' time of the draw - can't they just leave somethings alone, for pete's sake!
Should have been done this lunchtime, like it used to be.

Ah, the good old days. Someone would bring a tranny* to work on Monday and we'd all huddle around it at lunchtime when the draw was made.

Never realised how properly northern Morecambe is, glad we're not away

Not until the replay at least

Come on - 60k people crowding the bars and cafes before the game; shouting and singing on the ‘terraces’ and you think hand sanitiser is gonna make a difference? Get fucking real. If you go to a game it’s gonna be a super spreader no matter what. Stay at home if your that worried.

You're*

Mask/No Mask
Jab/No Jab
Lockdowns/No Lockdowns

We can have differences but I think we can all agree that we shouldn't let a consequence of this virus be lower standards of grammar.

We're better than that.

 

[Billy Bob]

The only way we get credit for winning this trophy is if we face Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, PSG and Bayern on the way so bring any of them on!!

I'd like a "little" club at home please, thank you.

Gooners?

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Hopefully it won't be on telly, and we'll have a 3pm kick off on Saturday.

 

[Billy Bob]

Ok - but maybe you should take account of the situations in which people write they’re posts. It could just be that their on a train after a few sherbets, responding to there posts through rheumy eyes and thick fingers!

Ummm so you won't appreciate this but it's important...

Chelsea away seems like an entirely coincidental and not remotely fixed narrative.

 

[Ealesy]

- Drawn away to mid table championship team

- Play our 2nd string team who really should be comfortably winning

- Proceed to put in a Mura-esque performance

- Draw 1-1

- Win the replay 2-0 at home while fielding our strongest team because we can’t trust our 2nd team

- Drawn away to Liverpool in 4th round

- Get knocked out

Certainly lots of competition for places out wide on the left wing and right wing… judging by Off Topic.

I wouldn't get TOO excited, I'm pretty sure Football (and the entire Country) will be in Lockdown again by the time this game comes along....

We'll ALL pay for people's Christmas excesses!

Unless there's clear evidence that Omicron is evading the vaccine and causing serious illness, I would doubt it.

Last lockdown we had no vaccines, or we were only at the start of administering first doses. Now we're at a phase were people are getting their third doses and there seems to be preliminary signs that three doses prevents serious illness at least.

I haven't had three vaccines to spend my life in my living room. Not into a third year. Not happening. And I'm not an anti-Vaxxer\anti-masker, and I'm compliant with pretty much every rule that's been in play. But I just can't see compliance stretching into a third (or fourth, I've lost count) full lockdown. I just can't take being punished because a small but significant minority can't just get their vaccines, wear a mask in crowded places and wash their hands. I mean at WHL every match you see dudes not even washing their hands after a piss, or just running their hands under water for three seconds. These are the people that need to sort themselves out.

And now I've taken this thread well off topic. Sorry.

 

[Billy Bob]

I take that as an attempt at humour

Nope I'm completely serious. Never been more serious. I've been on here long enough to know humour isn't really appreciated round these parts.

 

[Airfixx]

Jesus mate, keep your hair on. At no point did I say that I feared for my life without hand sanitizer. I merely pointed out that if the club installed the things in the, possibly mistaken, view that they may help to combat the virus then the least they could do is keep them filled.

It's amazing how the mere mention of painless little measures that could help the situation (however slightly) brings so much froth, defiance and straw-manning from the chest-beating skeptics.

FA Cup third-round draw on Monday

The draw for the third round of the FA Cup takes place on Monday - so which numbers should you look out for?

www.bbc.co.uk

It's at 7pm. We're number 40.

I want to hear "Number 40, Tottenham Hotspur, will play Number 58, Boreham Wood or St Albans."

That wasn't very Wise.
