FA Cup 5th Round Draw Thread

[Dazzler]

First ever FA Cup meeting in 150 years?

Going back to my previous post I’ve reflected on it and thought that if Parker plays a weakened side and loses to a local rival in our first ever cup meeting, many fans will call for him to go. If we somehow fail to go up anyway, many won’t forgive him.

So I really, really hope he is clever here and does the right thing. Feels important.

Whatever team SP puts out should still be more than a match for PNE.

[Papabendi]

It’ll be evens I guess, 50%.

12.5% to date

[AlargeClaret]

Cracking draw , shame its likely to be one of those god awful early ko’s , where , even with the greatest will in the world , it’s a real struggle for atmosphere.

[4:20]

A good chance to reach a first quarter final since 2003.

But then so was non league Lincoln at home!

We played City in the quarter final under Kompany, 22/23

[wilks_bfc]

Benson,Shelvey, Redmond and Johnson will be fitter by the time this game is played.Id hardly call Worrell weak.It will not be a weak side

Who’s Johnson?
I can’t work out what that autocorrected from

[burnmark]

Correct

I’m sure the Liverpool fans thought the same yesterday against Plymouth

I think you might need to check that statement!

[Dazzler]

Well I was going to watch the Doncaster game but not with that commentating.

I'm assuming your ears are offended by the dulcet tones of our very own Rachel?

[dsr]

Your thinking with your heart. We just have to get up this year, to better secure the future of a leveraged buy out Club. I am pretty confident that we can get to round 6 without 4 or 5 of our first 11 starting.

Liverpool are expecting to play 38 league games, 6 in the League Cup, and 15 in Europe, so they rest their players in the FA Cup. We expect to play 46 league games and nothing else. They don't need a rest.

I did write "should" not "will be".

[mdd2]

Great tie that

How many years have we been in the hat with PNE and never drawn them in the FA Cup
That has to be another record, more so if we add up all the rounds we could have met but didn’t
Over to you Tony!!!

Didn’t we play 61or 63 games in 2008-09 season?

Or you could do the donkey work and check every FA Cup season on Wikipedia.

[beddie]

Watch Nugent get the winner.

What for us.

[Bosscat]

Just been on about that season in our Whatsapp group and that was mentioned

[Colburn_Claret]

Have you watched us at home this season, especially at home to PNE?

When I woke up the lights were out, and everybody had gone home.

[Tackler49]

5th Round Cuo Draw. Away to PNE should be happy with that

[fatboy47]

Wow!

[Bosscat]

5th Round Cuo Draw. Away to PNE should be happy with that

Did you not see the 5th Round FA Cup Draw Thread with 266 repies

[Rileybobs]

What time is the draw?

[JMU81]

I was thinking less expense, but I get your logic!

I'm just sick of all the away draws we've had.

Ticket prices will be about the same as if we were at home, plus 15 quid on train or a tenner in petrol ( if you're from Burnley area ) plus a few drinks

[fatboy47]

Apparentley Eustace been tapped up for the Derby gig.

[Darnhill Claret]

And for those travelling by train, from the north, south and west it should be a shorter, cheaper and quicker journey. No need to change at Preston.

[Joe14]

Yeah and Alex Ferguson has left UTD!!!

[Stayingup]

What were the odds of that happening ?

About 25000/1.

[jojomk1]

Was expecting City away
So anything else is a bonus

[Stayingup]

When I woke up the lights were out, and everybody had gone home.

The bloke selling pillows on Harry Potts way had a good day.

[dougcollins]

What happened to the other 48 Tacklers?

[The Shire Claret]

Chris Waddle is next Burnley manager

He will get the best out of Chris Brass

[fidelcastro]

More expensive than at home then.

[Spijed]

Sheffield United got to the FA cup semi final a couple of years ago and got promoted as well

[claretonthecoast1882]

A great draw for both clubs.

When the 3rd round draw was made had we been offered North End away for a place in the quarter finals everybody would have taken it. Had North End been offered this game they too would have taken it.

A good allocation, tickets likely to be £30 at the most, easy to get to, plenty of pubs and a good chance to progress. Let's just hope the idiots who decide the kick off times don't spoil it.

[Quickenthetempo]

I just read that all 8 ties in the 5th round are televised.
Is that true? Because I was hoping for Saturday 3pm.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Fairly sure they all are yeah, I expect us to be the 12.30 kick off Saturday or Sunday

[morninbob]

Look at this round, started Friday night with utd, and is still going tonight with Exeter. I expect the games to be Friday night, Saturday lunch, Saturday tea, Saturday night, Sunday lunch, Sunday afternoon, Sunday tea. Monday night.

[jrgbfc]

Think they've actually shown 9 this round if you count the iPlayer games. So pretty much zero chance of Saturday 3pm unfortunately.

[Targetman]

I just read that all 8 ties in the 5th round are televised.

We all hope for Saturday 3pm kick offs but unfortunately for us fans it has now become a rarity.

I think, similar to this coming weekend, 12.30pm Saturday is the best we can hope for, but we shall see in the next 2 or 3 days.

[1HappyClaret]

There are Premier League games that week so non of the premier leagues teams are likely to play on the Friday so I think we have a high chance of being Friday night.

[Darnhill Claret]

Looking at the 5th round draw, if and I mean, IF we get through, my preferred draw is home to the winner of either of the Manchester ties, so United, City, Fulham or Plymouth. Next best would be home to the winners of Millwall/Palace.
Don't want any of the others until we get to Wembley.

[rexe78202]

Next best would be home to the winners of Millwall/Palace.

I think we can discount that one.

[Rileybobs]

We'll get drawn at home in the semi final.

Thanks for the support Dazzler.
Including the two occasions this season when we hadnt been drawn against PNE I think we have been in the draw bag on 180 occasions with PNE but until yesterday never drawn together.
Going back to bed now and when I get up it will be (before anyone suggests it) to get a life!!!!!

[Fretters]

We played City in the quarter final under Kompany, 22/23

So we did! Completely forgot.

[morninbob]

Just been on pne online, all they seem to bothered about is the price of the tickets

[TopCat]

When will the tv games be announced?

[dvalley69]

When will the tv games be announced?

4th round isn't yet over with. At the earliest, tomorrow.

[morninbob]

When will the tv games be announced?

They will all be on TV, we are more likely to be Friday or Monday night as there are premier League games before and champions League games after.

[4:20]

So we did! Completely forgot.

I wouldn't mind forgetting every City hammering in our recent past.

[Spijed]

When are we likely to hear when the Cardiff game has been arranged for?
