I watched the draw being made on Sunday and smiled at the interesting fixtures, such as Sailsbury v Forrest. Then I looked at the overall list at the end and thought, 'Crikey, there aren't half a load of dumps in there,' and I was glad that we haven't had to 'aspire' to the 2nd Round for 7 seasons now. As we appear to be making our 4th serious bid for the top flight in that period, it reminded me of how good the times are now compared to my teens, 20's and into my 30's. 🙂 HAVE-AT-YOU! , moaners!

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
This moderator thing is getting out of hand again (It happens from time to time) It`s a bit like referees thinking the crowd comes to see them, we want to read what we want to read, not what the moderators want us to read. Get a grip chaps?
Preston away at Blackpool is what us fans want isn`t it?

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
If you don't think Preston fans hoping to draw the lashers in the 3rd round of the FA cup is a pne related topic then I think you are missing vital parts of your brain. Bring on the lashers but I'd prefer them at Deepdale so they can see exactly how far we've come and enjoy a full stadium with an atmosphere that couldn't be bettered.
And I say `Couldn't agree more` to Tark's comments ........

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
After the non league thread I would like us to get a nice non league team away.
It would be nice to play the lashers but I think that there are better draws.
To save myself some travelling effort the short stroll down to Old Trafford or the City of Manchester would suit me 🙂

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
What are you on?? How long since we played them?? Fuck the big draws. We all want a PROPER derby. We may never play them in the lgue for a hundred years. This is our only hope of bragging rights. After we rid of them, then maybe a big draw.

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
I would like us to play a non league team, I suppose I missed so many of those trips that it would be good to have another one. This was the purpose of the first paragraph.
I appreciate that for many people bragging rights over the lashers are important, those of you closer to the rivalry will not see it as enough that we are in such a superior position to them. That is natural. I would prefer to get Blackpool than any of the Championship, League 1 and League 2 sides, or indeed the majority of the Premiership teams.
I live in Manchester and as such if we were to play at Old Trafford or the City of Manchester I would not have to pay anything in transport costs, this is the point of the final paragraph. Sadly there are no non league sides with grounds within walking distance of my house still in the competition.
It is safe to say we will come out of the Luton game and then put one eye on what has happened in the FA Cup and the potential opponents.
Is the draw on Sunday after the BBC game or Monday lunchtime again?

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
I'd really like an FA cup run this year but only as well as a top 2 finish, not rather than. Personally I'd like to draw Newcastle in the 4th or 5th rounds. I really think we are capable of disposing of one of the prems poorer sides at the mo. And lets face it, it might be our only chance of visiting St James Park as they're going down 😉

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
It's a good point, but there's always the negative effect on morale a cup exit to a lower ranked team has to consider, especially if it's after a dodgy run.
I say play every game as if promotion counted on it and we'll be fine. 🙂

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
Go-for-the-money, mesel. Deepdale V. Utd in 3rd round & a 3 all-draw due to a late goal from Ronaldo in injury time & loose on penaltys AET in a sell-out at O.T.
Loadsa money for Simmo to spend for the Team - use it as a Cash-Cow!
And the game as a Warm-Up for the Prem. game with Utd /Liv/ Arse come September !

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
Although i never like PNE to get beat , i think we should take a leaf out of Manure's book and play a weakened team , if we get knocked out , then hey that's life , but we must at all cost's remain focused on the ultimate objective which is PROMOTION.
Just my view .

Re: FA Cup 2nd Round
Bollocks, call me old fashioned but I love a good cup run. teams putting out weakened sides should be booted out of the competition for demeaning it. Funny how United have taken the league cup more seriously in recent years as it`s the only trophy they have a hope of winning.
