f a cup draw

[red macca]

today revealed 4 matches where premier league teams face eachother.cant we have 2 pots when doing the draw where all the prem teams go into one pot for the 3rd round only then it gives alot of the smaller clubs a chance to get a big one.

when liverpool got arsenal i was gutted as i bet alot of others were

yes and then we will have no teams from outside the premiership reach the last 16. that would take away the novelty of the competition would it not? always good to see a lower league team go a decent cup run

I noticed that as well. 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.

i can see that argument rich i just mean for the likes of tamworth who have worked there bollocks of to get in the 3rd round to be drawn against shit again.if anything it could create more shocks

It's a nice idea, maybe one for the league cup.  But the cup is sacred, don't mess with history.

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.
