FA Cup Draw: Round 5

Bring Back Pires · Post by **Bring Back Pires** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:42 pm

Well looking at the list of the remaining sides, any of the following would be ideal:

- Hull City
- Sheffield United
- Swansea City
- West Bromwich Albion or Burnley
- Coventry City
- Fulham
- Watford
- Derby County or Nottingham Forest
- Middlesbrough

If we draw any of these teams at home, then I think it's a safe bet to assume that we'll be in the quarter-finals. Ties to avoid:

- Liverpool or Everton
- Manchester United
- Sunderland or Blackburn Rovers
- West Ham United
- Chelsea
- Doncaster Rovers or Aston Villa

My prediction: Derby/Forest (a).

Ok, so assuming we dont play as f**king badly as today, we should beat Cardiff and WBA/Burnley at home giving us a decent path to the quarters.

That is of course assuming we're not so piss poor again, a big assumption?!?

Surely to god we cant be as bad. We were just crap today, we were brought down to a championship level and stayed there for the game. But realistically we will win the next 2 games and more than likely draw a big team in the Quarter finals seen as though we were all kept apart.

We really need to improve. We really need to go on a run in all competitions!

Many years ago Gus went on a weekend away to Cardiff, but was kiddnapped and made to wear a wooly sweater and bleat while they took it in turns.

But its had no ill effect on him whatsoever.....

He probably enjoyed it. It's not every day any of us get to live out our dreams. We should all be happy for him
