Yep, an early exit against some dross

Would have liked that one at home, but away doesn’t excite me a lot

What a shite draw. Guess there's at least some chance of winning if Mourinho is still in the job.

City at home too, I would guess it will be our game that gets moved.

Would have preferred to have them at home, but frankly, this is far from impossible.

And the prize at stake is a place in round four and potentially getting Mourinho the sack. Something to dream about if nothing else.

Seventh away game in a row in the FA cup third round. Fourth time we've played Man United in the FA cup in the last 11 years (all at Old Trafford). Joy, very likely to be on TV as well considering there were no other real noticeable ties

It’s ManU “reserves” therefore it’ll automatically get live tv coverage just like all their FA Cup games :roll:

Utterly cr@p draw, couldn’t have imagined anything much worse than that.

Only good point is the payday.

Even the Stam link stretched credibility for the tie two years ago being picked for TV. What would the angle be this time round?

It shows just how things are stacked in favour of the bigger clubs that after drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford in 2007, the replay was at Old Trafford too.

City are playing Liverpool the Thursday before so our game should be Saturday.

Wow.........

One of the worst takes in board history I'd imagine.

You are aware we have played them in the FA Cup 3 times in the last 10 years? You are aware we will lose heavily and crash out the cup?

Man Utd have been on a run of something like 12 years with all their FA Cup games televised

Not at all.

Saying Man Utd away is the worst possible draw is a far worse take. Would you rather have Rotherham away over Man Utd away!?

The FA Cup is about playing the big sides, it doesn't matter if you get stuffed. It's all about that small chance of glory.
