[BlueLion. 21,491]

Third Round draw tomorrow, which we'll be in. Who do you think we'll be getting?

[captainmarvel 1]

doubt any decent team.. probably some 2nd division or championship side. should be easy peasyonly gets interesting from the 5th round onwardsyes i know.. i know... giant killing....... but seriously cannot see us losing to any shite 2nd division side

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'd like a fairly easy game because this will be in the period of the ACoN, so a League 2 side at the Bridge is much welcomed

[Mungii 3]

yeah but we will need to be really luck for that...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Not necessarilly, lower league opposition outnumber Premier League heavily at this stage, and there is an even chance of getting a tie at Stamford Bridge.
