Still a fairly easy draw in my opinion.

To get to the final Cardiff played

3rd round: Chasedown (lowest ranked team to have made this round)

4th round: Hereford United (My local team actually, they're crap)

5th round: Wolves (Reasonable team)

QF: Middlesbrough

SF: Barnsley (3 points off being relegated to third tier)


They only beat one team from the top tier...and they're not that great.

Actually Spurs played Cardiff in the 06-07 edition. Drew 0-0, then won 4-0 at home in the replay.

So Man United again, great. :rolleyes:

I hope there's a rule saying Riley can't ref the same team two rounds in a row.

Hmmm it figures... I imagine a draw at Old Trafford for a glorious replay at the Lane. COYS!

[vasilli07]

Seriously, i do not want a replay. We are already playing alot of games.

[Phillyspur]

Exactly the same 4th round draw as last year.

Looks like West Ham have the draw on their side this year.

Well this is acceptable when you think about the grand scheme of things. We face Burnley I believe in the semifinal to defending our Carling Cup, which is a bit of a creme puff draw, and so it kinda figures we'd face Manchester United in the FA Cup. Given how close we are to the FA Cup final, I'm happy that we have our tough opponent in the FA Cup rather than the Carling Cup.

We don't have the depth to compete on 4 fronts. We must prioritize the Premiership. This sets us up to either pull off a morale-boosting miraculous win or go out to the best team in the competition allowing us to concentrate on more important goals.

It does not surprise me at all.

Good draw. There's no pressure on us, so we can go in looking to steal a win. And if we lose, then we remove at least one extra game from our fixture list.

I like the positivist view...

Southend 1-0 up early in the 1st.
