FA Cup 4th Round Draw
- Thread starter Señor
- Start date
Thats the feeling I got when I found out 2 minutes around the cornor from me in the Tallaght Stadium (home to Shamrock Rovers) I would be seeing Ronaldo, Benzema, Raul and Sneijder, then somehow we fumbled are way in to the Champions League qualifying rounds and im seeing Alessandro del Piero parading around the ground in a rovers jersey
I'm getting into the Abbey for that game.
Cambridge v Man Utd - game televised
Chelsea v Millwall - fans televised
Chelsea v Millwall - fans televised
Millwall have to go away to cup kings Bradford. It'll be Chelsea - Bradford.
Yeah it's really weird thinking that I'll be at Old Trafford for United Southampton and at the Abbey (!?!?) For Cambridge v United.... At work today all the talk was who Cambridge would get in the draw and then this happens - nuts.
I was salivating at the prospect of a Cambridge vs Liverpool cup upset and watching it live.
I still remember vividly when my postman scored the winning goal for Histon against Leeds, years ago.
Good draw for us. Now hopefully we can actually play decently against them.
Do you think it's going to be really hard to get tickets for this one? I'm tempted to make the trip over...
Also, do we know yet whether we play on Saturday on Sunday or is that done later?
If Heskey scores a winner against Liverpool - It would clearly be the greatest moment in modern footballing history.
A Cambridge fan once told me they've got the best pitch in the country because they keep putting shit on it every week.
Usually takes a few days for the TV companies to screw everything up - tomorrow or Thursday for the schedule I'd say.
Cheers Pete!
When was the last time we drew 2 non pl sides in a row?
Southampton and Crawley in 10/11. The other three games that season were against Liverpool, Arsenal and City.
I'm in the Cambridge area too. Been a number of times myself, though not for a couple of years.
It was never me buying the tickets whenever I went, so I have no idea of how it works there. Do you reckon I'd be able to get some?
They've always had a policy of giving preference to those who have been to a few recent games. For a city the size of cambridge it should really have a team in the championship, I reckon. And that shows with attendances - 7000 against Luton and sold out away allocations to Carlisle.
Literally everyone wants a ticket, who I've spoken to, so I would think it's going to be extremely tough getting them.
Especially if they keep the most expensive tickets at £16 (which I don't think they will, but they'll be less than 25)

delighted with that!!
This is fact.
But then you can't take a team seriously who can't pronounce their own team's name.
It's not Lu-on, it's Lu T on. There's a t in there
Tbf a lot of people in England drop the t in the middle of words.
We are on BBC on Friday Jan 23.
Seems like they've changed the warm ball strategy this year to try and make the final stages more exciting.
Zenit in the Super Cup?
What is going on with extending each round of the cup over as many days as possible??
Money.
Apparently the 42nd time in a row that a United FA Cup match has been televised.
against chelsea in a prem game in 2002 we drew 2-2
Take a bow!
Although the broadcasters messed it up a bit by having all the banana skins playing at the same time.
Anyone know when the replay will most likely be? Midweek between Leicester and West Ham would be my guess
Feb 2/3 depending on when the TV people want it
3rd or 4th I'm guessing you mean? 2nd is monday.
Yes my bad, sorry. It's the Tue/Wed after the Leicester game.
Amazing, you wouldn't think Cambridge United would generate that mush interest
EDIT: sums up my comment nicely!
Haha could never have for seen this!
Having the games at the same time did at least give sky something to put on their soccer Saturday Christmas special next year
