I'm sure the Premiership teams would welcome this too because they wouldn't have to play each other until the later stages of the competition.
Was bit of a stinker to see Liverpool v Arsenal and then Man Utd v Villa.

Title: f a cup draw Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, December 3, 2006, 23:39:53 That's the glory of the FA Cup... Don't mess around with it... Man Utd did and alot have never forgiven them for it!
It was a poor draw yet it still drew Chelsea with Macclesfield, the worst team in the Football League. 3 Premier League teams will get knocked out... That allows other teams to progress. |
