    Lucky for Chelsea that their unbeaten run is over, they don't stand a chance.

    Could not of had a worse draw really.

    Will see everyone that was at play-off final.

    Day trippers.

    Hopefully it's on TV so I don't have to waste my money on a ticket.

    Last 3 seasons have been pretty tough 3rd round draws.

    Man City (a) 0-3
    Man City (a) 2-4
    Chelsea (a)

    We've been drawn against the current top team in the Premier League for three successive seasons......quite amazing.

    Our last trip to West London produced a 5-0 win though......so I'm sure Chelsea will be very worried the Hornet's are in town.

    Cech, Zouma, Luis, Mikel, Salah, Schurlle & Remy are regular Chelsea subs. Chuck in a few of the boys who aren't so tired after their New Years Day game and they have a strong side. Hey-ho.

    Knowing our luck it'll be re-arranged to the 4th so they get 2 days rest rather than the one. They're playing Spurs on NYD though so it won't be easy for them.

    EDIT: - Didn't mean to dislike Cassetti Beard

    Didn't we play City in the 4th Round last season? Bristol away was the 3rd Round.

    Great draw. Don't have to go, can spend day in pub watching the matches and results come in.

    So how many on here thought lu*on were coming to town for a while?

    I hate the day tripper snottyness.

    I consider myself a pretty dedicated Watford fan, I have a season ticket and don't miss any home games. Therefore I don't tend to spend my spare Saturdays travelling around the country. I admire those who do, but I have other things to do and I don't have an endless supply of money. I probably go to 2 away games a season and I join in with the atmosphere... Yet I'm a day tripper. The chelsea game will probably be a lot cheaper than some of the Championship games and i'll get to see my team go up against the best in the country.

    Anyone who gets Chelsea tickets is a regular away day traveller or a season ticket holder. Hardly day trippers.

    I have no interest in this game, but will go just because I can, and will sit in silence, all game. Well, maybe not all game, as I will need to leave early to beat the traffic.

    At least Jose won't be able to play mind games with our manager.

    Two days before my exam so I'll be giving this a miss (that's if it's on a Saturday). I'd also wager a bet that it'll be moved to the Sunday so it'll be the day before it (thanks Sky in advance). I somehow have a weird belief that we'll ruin Chelsea's unbeaten home record though...

    Those 'day-trippers' will help fill out the stadium if we ever reach the premier league, bringing in extra revenue in the process and helping to improve the atmosphere. The attitude some display on here is laughable and embarrassing.

    It needs improving. Last time I was there I'm sure they had piped crowd noise to help get the prawn sarnies interested.

    Chelsea will rest a few players, end up with John Obi Mikel matched against Almen Abdi and wish they hadn't.

    All this day-tripper garbage. So what if it entices them to go and see a side play probably the best team in the country, and then when you bring Chelsea into the equation it's a mouth watering tie. Seriously, they may actually decide they want a bit more of what they've just seen and become regulars. If the fans are on form like they were at Fulham, it could be a very good day out.

    Sorry guys, the 1881 have decided you can only go if you're a season ticket holder or go to away games. It's ok though, EVERYONE is welcome to join the 1881.

    Only Watford fans could find things to complain about in a 5 nil win away from home - or attracting a larger than usual support when we draw the hardest tie possible in the cup.

    How else are we going to increase attendances if we don't get new "plastics"?

    I remember people talking about 30k at the Vic when we were expanding the stadium! We'd be lucky to increase attendance by anything if there is supporter quality criteria to satisfy some on here.

    Not to mention
    2010 - Chelsea - lost 0-5
    2009 - Chelsea - lost 1-3

    We don't have a lot of luck with Cup draws
