FA Cup 3rd Round

[Lee909]

Fucking Arsenal away

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

A joke.

[redinblack]

Fuck em. Bring em on.

[Tj hooker]

City to get Melchester Rovers .

 

Edit Huddersfield at home fuck off 

[Lee909]

Shocking City have been drawn at home to Huddersfield and the Mancs away to Wigan

[suzy]

FFS!

[an tha]

Chelsea and Abu Dhabi with their usual easy home draws.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Ah, balls.  Not much scope for getting away with much rotation there.

 

Still, Arsenal won't be happy with facing us, either.

[sir roger]

At least we can't get Arsenal in the 4th round, as they will already be out.

[House of Dirk]

Here we are, having to start paying back questioning the authorities

Isn't that something near 70%of our domestic cup ties under klopp have been against a Premier league team? It's a fucking joke run of fixtures

Is that really anomalous?  If you get to the later rounds you don't expect to meet Shrewsbury.

[Creator Supreme]

Oh well, maybe next season.

An away cup tie at Arsenal is not ideal, especially as our recent record in the FA Cup against them is nothing to shout about. Since Shanks became manager, we have faced Arsenal in the cup 8 times (9 if you count the upcoming game), with half of those coming this century. We beat them in the 5th round twice in the early 60s but since then, the 2001 final is the only time we've got the upper hand. Despite 8 wins plus a number of runner-up spots, our FA Cup record is regularly mediocre and getting to the quarter finals feels like a rarity.

 

So many teams in the 3rd round draw so in theory we should come up against sides we very rarely face, but we seem to draw familiar foes all too often. Whenever I was asked who I would want in the cup, I've always said Sheffield Wednesday away or Forest away. We met Forest in the quarters on our way to No8 2 years ago. We haven't played Sheffield Wednesday at all this century, and I remember them as top flight regulars back in the 90s.

True, but we haven't gotten far that often under klopp unfortunately.

Apart from the finals, 2 league Cup ones and 1 Fa cup, we usually go out early enough.

It's also massively anomalous in that city ,especially, rarely ever get premier teams in the early rounds.

I'm not calling it a conspiracy, its just a really fucked up run of teams from the top division in the cups.

Sunday, 4:30pm KO on BBC.

“Put em back lads”

[El Rojo]

Three games against Arsenal in quick succession.

 

I’d bite your hands off right now for six points in the league and a narrow cup win.

The final is 3 days after the Europa League final in Dublin. 
 

Could be some week.

[Tj hooker]
