FA Cup 4th Round Draw Thread

[LoveCurryPies]

Playing a team that only have 6 points after 20 games….bring it on!

[CrosspoolClarets]

How have you come to that conclusion???

New manager unusually played his full strength side today so they are taking it very seriously as their one chance of glory.

As we know, sides that go up spend a ton of money so I am not getting too confident despite their record this season.

And we will play some reserves.

I feel for everyone up north, but it's a great draw for us in Kent. Burnley will be well supported by Southern Clarets, of which there were loads at Reading yesterday.

In the 10 previous seasons prior to this one in the FA Cup we've been drawn out at home 10 times and away 10 times. It feels a lot worse but I think its more that there's been a lot of rubbish drawers rather than there being a lot of away ones

Another terrrible draw, especially when we're at Pompey the weekend before.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

A winnable game but will need to play our strongest possible team and substitutes
Would imagine that we are about as strong as each other if we both put out our strongest teams
We have to hope that we don’t lose too many top players in the window

Awful draw again!

You can always have a mini break on the south coast.!

We might go if it's a Saturday game. We have some friends who live near Bath and Southampton is only 60 miles or so down the A36.

I think Scott will have them down there for a week for a warm weather training camp in Weymouth.

[crundale]

I reckon that Southamton fans are also not best pleased. After all we are doing fairly well at the moment...

[Buxtonclaret]

It's a game we can ( will ) win.

If it wasn't winter i'd have been tempted, take the golf clubs down!

Worth hiring an apartment on the south coast for a month

The COLD weather training on the beach in Weymouth sounds a great idea.Some great nights in the Pavilion that week on the 6th it's a evening with Sir Geoff Hurst then the next night Absolute Reggae and then can finish off with Disco Inferno on the 8th.

the THB derby

Not bad.

It’s incredible how many away draws we get in the cups.

Did a quick check and since the 2014/15 season we have had the following in each cup:

League Cup:
Rounds Participated - 20
Home Draws - 8
Away Draws - 12

FA Cup:
Round Participated - 22
Home Draws - 10
Away Draws - 12

Hope it’s a Thursday or Monday, or maybe a Tuesday, night game.

I went back to the turn of the century.

It’s been 20 at home and 33 away in the FA Cup since the 1999/2000 season.

Also 6 of the last 7 FA Cup draws have been away.

I’m not convinced this’ll be on tv!
