Cup draw - new record set

[agreenwood]

We’re the first team to have had 4,157 consecutive **** cup draws.

The previous record was held by Corinthians, who had 4,156, although it was controversial at the time, because some people felt their draw at home to St Heath United wasn’t that bad.

[jdrobbo]

Is your head exploding Oz?

If so, I can help…

[agreenwood]

No, no. It’s exciting to hold such a terrible record.

[jdrobbo]

Well, you know where I am, should you feel a sudden increase in cranial pressure. Be careful my friend. Steady!

[Leisure]

8 away on the trot I read!

Lincoln at home in the quarter final was a stinkier.

[fidelcastro]

Lincoln at home in the quarter final was a stinkier.

It wasn't a quarter final.

[Stonehouse]

Was expecting Saudi Arabia FC again ,let’s see how good THB and CT are .

[Andreshotboots]

We couldn't get too much further to travel in this one could we? At least both opponents are more than beatable..

[AmbleClaret]

There were still shouts of Teasdale out the last time we were drawn at home.

[mikeS]

What a bonus. No cup tie v City this year.
Not just yet.

[chekhov]

Lincoln at home in the quarter final was a stinkier.

Lincoln at home was a fantastic draw. Unfortunately we fluffed it.

[FCBurnley]

My wife was amazed that I knew we would be drawn away !!

[fidelcastro]

Lincoln at home was a fantastic draw. Unfortunately we fluffed it.

I seem to remember there was some sort of debate on here about how many we'd score.

I don't recall anyone predicting nil.

20th v 22nd looks fair to me

We're the Underdogs with nothing to lose

Sarfhampton are crap

Banker AWAY on the coupon

[bfcmik]

If we (19th or 20th in the PL) had been drawn at home last season v Southampton (2nd in the Championship) would we have thought ourselves as favourites?

[Foshiznik]

I was expecting the inevitable Man City away so I’m kind of ok with this draw.

[dermotdermot]

Good draw. I don’t understand the comments.

[The Shire Claret]

Good draw. I don’t understand the comments.

I guess it would have been nice to have something a bit closer for fans to get to after Reading.

I wanted the easiest possible team at home or a close away

Southampton is a ‘meh’ tie but what can you do !

[Stalbansclaret]

Good draw. I don’t understand the comments.

Maybe because those of us who want to go to watch us in the cup now face one of the longest journey’s possible !!

[pompeyclaret]

From a selfish point of view, Pompey one week, scummers the next, both as local as possible for me

[Targetman]

Good draw. I don’t understand the comments.

Will you be making the journey from Burnley to Southampton??

[wilks_bfc]

We couldn't get too much further to travel in this one could we? At least both opponents are more than beatable..

It's a good draw if you've got a multi million pound yacht you can just anchor off the South coast for a few weeks....

I'm tying up in harbour rather than risking the Channel for a fortnight in February, thanks very much. (Mind you, I haven't bought the yacht, yet.)

[nonayclaret]

Oxford at home will need to move on to some mid-weeker later.

[AfloatinClaret]

Nah, you're better off with a cheap/shallow drafted yacht, especially for the Soton game; you can get those sort further up the Itchen river and into Shamrock Quay or Kemps, both of which are much better for St Mary's than Ocean Village. Similar with Portsmouth, the nearest marina will be at Camber Quay and that's only accessible for small yachts; the multi million jobs will need to moor up over in Gosport and ferry across.

That is some serious miles

[IanMcL]

It was getting close!

[Roosterbooster]

That is some serious miles

Over 1700

[mikeS]

In my dreams I can still see Matt Rhead ploughing through Burnleys defence.

They scored a carbon copy goal from a corner that they'd done in a previous game.

If only we'd have bothered looking at that kind of detail.

[Nonayforever]

Have we not got a volunteer to cycle to each match for some charity or other.
It would certainly get us on the main news.

Cool, I should be good then.....
