could have been worse guys, when you look at who was in there. on a positive note, it's a more winnable game than many.
I don't know, it's winnable. Not exactly a plum draw for them either, and they'll have one eye on getting promoted. Think we could have drawn a much worse team away from home.
When they came out of the bag I knew what was coming next. As for Leeds, I don't like Citeh but I hope they hammer the Elland Road vermin.
I wanted MK, man city or Wigan away to add to my list, so I'm well chuffed, plus we have a chance of man city or Wigan away in the quarters still!!! I think it's a great draw.
Unlikely to be on TV, unlikely to make much gate money, result could go either way and we could get beat. On the positive side, it's a chance to play against one of the top teams from a division we could well be playing in next season and the result could go either way and we could well win and get through to the last 8, where chances are it would be a big game, we coud be on TV and we could make a lot of money. Alternatively, we could win and end up facing Luton or Millwall (don't fancy the police bill for that one!) at home for a place at Wembley. Either way, although they are far from being pushovers, MK Dons are one of the weaker sides left in (as are we of course) so we should be approaching it as a winnable game with a potential big reward if we're successful. I have a sneaky feeling we're not done in the Cup just yet.
With the exception of United/Reading, all the premier league teams have managed to avoid each other. The quarter final draw could potentially include: Arsenal Wigan Millwall City United Chelsea Barnsley Everton There's some crackers for us in there.
Liquorice has it right. We wanted shine draw or an away draw at someone really big. We got neither but away to someone else in the championship would have been worse as we would be less likely to win.
Or we get the glamour draw next time and pocket some extra cash from this match first?! Either way, it's one less new ground to worry about for next season Personally, I'd rather we had a run to a QF against average teams than one 3rd round "glamour" tie pay day and out, I'm sure a tv match wouldn't bag us a season changing swag bag either way...
Millwall away would have been the nut low draw. Losing to a franchise team would irritate me so much though. That's my main issue with this draw.
