Would prefer the league game BG, probably have more chance of acquiring a ticket for the cup game because of a larger allocation. The days of me going to every game has been blown into oblivion since every glory fan & his dog are snapping up the tickets.
Where were they when we were playing the likes of Swindon, Hereford, Wycombe, Burton, Yeovil, Sutton. Rochdale, Carlisle, Oldham, etc?

So last 20 years - 5 home draws 25 away draws
We're either incredibly unlucky or the games are fixed.. Some don't believe in luck so it must be the latter
Actually considering that every year the majority of fans want us knocked out of the cups as soon as possible so that we can concentrate on the league, the administrators are obviously rigging the draw in our favour
Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.

Yeah there should be better opportunities for those who were there during the tough times. I've been to watch us in League 1 and JPT, but I can't get near a PL ticket atm.

I've thought it's been rigged for years. It's the FA after all.

Dead right BG, you only have to look at faaip’s list for proof. This is the 9th time in a row we have been drawn away from home and 6 of those have been in and around London!
The BBC not showing the draw doesn’t surprise me at all, anything that can be remotely construed as a British tradition is anathema to the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation these days.
Oh well, can I be the first to say “it’s not so bad we can now concentrate on the league”?

As I posted in my first post, at least it won't be yet another embarrassment unless we get hammered.
Yeah, at least that
Standby for Forshaw at centre-forward, and three under 15s coming on at HT. I'm sure Moyes will be very confused by Bielsa's square pegs in round holes and wouldn't dream of taking advantage of our daft selections and substitutions

At least we won't be getting schooled by Crawley, Newport, Histon, Daggenham under 5s, this year.
Don't mind if we get massacred in the Cup as long as we go there the week after and pick up 3 points.

Some folk take the p*ss, but it's all very true.
More likely, our players becoming very confused. The hammers rely on staying tight & patiently waiting for set-pieces, should be our undoing
Gelhardt must be rubbing his hands in anticipation of being on the bench if there is a fair wind, a bag of used tenners in the managers office, and a sudden sickness bug that takes out a dozen first team players.
Poor lad will probably pick up an injury the day before as he trips over one of the several benches he’s been forced to sit on.

Yeah, that's it it confuses our players more than the opposition. The opposition are just happy that Bielsa gives them a leg up, cheers Marcelo
Quality players and coaches don't need a second invitation to exploit mistakes and weaknesses, they just punish them
You can get away with it in the Championship to a certain degree, the Premier League is a whole different ball game.

The other day we put a striker on the pitch, and I mean Bamford, and he scores right away. Who would expect that?
