So if it all goes to shit like the League cup draw, is this one of those where they go to a pre recorded option?

WTF do they need to rehearse? There is a black bag. There are 64 balls with a number inside each one. The balls go in the bag and are swished around whilst two ex rags/dippers take turns at pulling a ball out. My two kids aged 9 and 6 could do it without much fuss

It's become such a sickening spectacle I might just look it up afterwards

They need to get the temperatures just right.

It's all so self-congratulatory and for as long as it's all mates pulling the balls out it will be regarded as fixed.

What do you reckon our chances of a home draw?

You forgot to mention that said Bags of Balls are chilled before the draw.And a select few Balls, are heated by immersion in boiling water and added to the Bags only the last few seconds before the draw. Never pick 2 hot Balls in the same time Only pick hot balls for a home draw. Only pick a Cold Ball to play away at a hot ball.I bet rehearsals are tricky.

What do you reckon our chances of a home draw?

Or our chances of a draw against a team below the promotion race in the Championship?

Hoddle and Jenas. Don't rule out either of these retards fucking up the draw

A couple of spuds doing the draw.

What do you reckon our chances of a home draw?

Since the takeover, we've been drawn at home 18 times and away 12 times in the FA Cup. That's compared to our being drawn at home 54.7% of the time for both domestic cup competitions overall in the same period. At one point, we were drawn at home for 16 out of 18 FA Cup games in a row, only for this to be followed by 8 away games on the trot.

Here we go!

Oh dear! They have nowhere for the empty bag. Amateurs...

Ah, that's a bit easier - There's 64 teams, 63 of whom we can be drawn against. 29 of those are Prem teams or in the top 10 in the Championship. So basically a 34/63 chance, or 54%.

Home to Burnley

[Nigels Tackle]

Home to Burnley

fix

[Beefymcfc]

Mustn't grumble.

Hoddle could put it on his head. Or do Jesse Lingards missus a favour and given it to the scrawny rag

[Justified logic]

Apart from local pride, hopefully with their thin squad Burnley will not want to get too involved in the distraction of FA Cup games.
