The Fa Cup 2020-21 - Manchester United (a)

Man City or Liverpool away would be perfect.
Then play the reserves.
The sooner we can remove this distraction, the better.

 

That's the spirit....

 

Chelsea.

 

Muff or Norwich and lose, an extra fixture for them forcing a Saturday fixture to a midweek would be good.

 

Man City away, please.

 

Can we draw Watford?

 

I agree, we are due a win against them!

 

Preston at home

 

Ah excellent, we can roll out the "we want to win every game" line while fielding our under-18s.

"We put out a side capable of beating Manchester City" *chuckle*

 

Plymouth away. Reminisce about racist Janners.

 

It's going to be WHU.
The answer to life,the universe and everything.

 

Of all the games I miss seeing fans at, early round FA Cup games between minnows and fallen giants are the ones that suffer most.

Nothing beats seeing the baying locals berating big-time Charlie’s from L1, a mere couple feet away from the pitch on a chilly autumn afternoon.

 

Scum away please. Beat them in front of 2000 or 4000 scummers, happy days.

 

Close!! Away to United!

 

Fans from last season flocking back after that drawer

 

Guaranteed to be on tv then.

 

Not sure. There’s a few other ties in there that look more juicy than a routine United home win.

 

Bring it on.

 

If there's one team Utd could play to guarantee they won't make it on to TV for once, it's us.

£10 says it's not televised (if they don't do some kind of FA Cup ifollow coverage).

 

Good draw that. We'll probably have recalled Cucho by then and go and win up there. Would be so Watford-y.




Not really, 5-0 defeat after Vlad says we respect the competition and then selects Toby Stephenson, Dan Phillips and Andre Gray.

 

We have enough games this season, without the added burden of the cup! I’m not to disappointed we have a tough away game! League is priority!

 

Least we're on telly.

 

H.M.S Pi55 the F.A Cup

 

Makes a change to go to The Theatre of s***e rather than The Emptyhad.

 

BBC showed all ties red button so far this season.

BT will most likely spoil things and pick it.

 

1-0 down already . Penalty just awarded to Man U

 

Shitting myself here, I know we'll lose, and I'm not too fussed about that, but we either play our rezzies and get tonked, or play the first team and rack up the fatigue...

 

Was gonna say the same.

Knocked out on pens. In 90 mins.

Gomes in goal please.

 

United will know they've been in a game. Probably an easy one, against Watford's youth team.

 

Vlad may just fancy this game, good on his cv

 

Very good draw, guaranteed to get knocked out in the first round so we can concentrate on the actually important business of winning the league.

We might as well give the kids a run out again.
