For a bit of fun I had a fiver on us to draw Man City @ 14/1 because I wrote all the names of the teams on pieces of paper and my knob twitched as it passed over Man City.

Sutton, Oxford or Lincoln at home.

Would be good to win the FA Cup but with our shoddy squad depth we need the easiest route possible when playing our second string team.

they do take bets, you can get 9/1 on Sutton being drawn away to Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs which I think is a good bet

you can get 175/1 on a North London derby and Manchester derby
I thought bookies only did business on the result of a race/game/election, etc. Mind you, the last time I bet on the nags was more than 20 years ago, and the last time I bet on footie was in the 1986 World Cup, when my money said we'd beat Poland 2-0 (the minimum margin of victory we needed to progress to the KO rounds, if I remember rightly), but Lineker went and scored a hat-trick.

I think Poch will be fielding something close to the strongest available team for the remainder of this season's Cup. If he didn't learn from Saturday's near-exit, he shouldn't be in the job.

Sutton or Oxford, sure. I think Lincoln could take us though. If we play the same defensively as we did on Saturday.

One thing that is certain is that Man U will have whoever they play against broadcast on tv.
Just listening to H&J and their last 56 games have been all featured matches on tv....

Oxford United.
Being from Oxford it would at least be a consolation for me if we were upset.

Alas living in Germany means I would miss any eventual game at the Kassam (or the Lane) but that would still Ben my wish.

Reckon we will get a PL tie though.
if we lost to Oxford there would be no consolation
