FA Cup Third Cup - who do you want?

[unification]

Since the HMRC thread is getting us all down, let's focus on the main positive from the weekend - we're in the third round of the FA Cup. Enter the PL and Championship sides as well as a few non-league sides who have made it this far.

Do we want the money spinner now and an inevitable exit? Or do we want to see how far we can go by drawing a side from the lowest rung possible? Whatever happens, we all know the cash is a really, really important bonus to us right now.

And before anyone moans - we have an equal chance of getting either Manchester United or Barnet. There is far more likely to be a tricky tie than one of the big sides so I fully expect moaning should we be drawn away to a unspectactular Championship side. I'll be leading those moans if we draw Sheffield 'We think we're big and a PL club in waiting but sub-8,000 fans will turn up when we play Oxford' United again.

We're ball 58 by the way.

HMRC will be hoping we get Manure away. Actually, that might not be so bad, chance for a weekend away again (thinking Middlesbrough in that season under Apples)

 

[Berliner]

Newcastle or Liverpool away please...

 

[makv]

Newcastle or Liverpool away please...

Closer to Berlin?

 

[Oufcad30]

Reading just because we would have a good chance

 

[Sarge]

Away to any Non League side ...with the chance of progressing to the 4th round( & beyond) would do me ...or Reading at the breeze block ( as @Oufcad30 points out, we would have a good chance of beating them) ....and besides, its been a while since weve played the plastics

 

[Northstand Grandad]

Will we be around to play the 3 Rd round?

 

[Johnf]

Reading at home please

 

[Deleted member 291]

Reading away.

 

[Blox21]

Yep I’d go for Reading away also

 

[Berliner]

Closer to Berlin?

Flight-wise the best options if my dad goes too. Manchester would do as well...

 

[TailsWeWin]

How many of the “Big club away please” crew bothered to turn up to our second round tie yesterday?

Who cares, if they are on here, then they are a Yellow.

 

[Corporate_Clive]

Home defeat

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Southampton away for me

 

[Shropshire U]

Spurs away.

Spurs can wait to 5th round and we will be first opponents at their new ground.

 

[Concretebob]

Pighill away.

Oh wait

 

[Junior_1]

Everton away - one last chance to visit the grand old lady before Everton move to the docks in a few years time..

As has been mentioned, if you take the time to post on here, there’s a pretty fair hanger you’re an oxford fan who goes to game when and if the circumstances allow.

They won’t be playing at “home” this season so they can wait till next season!

Still owe them for defeat in 85 when we were denied a blatant pen at 0-1 in the last min, and as we surrounded the ref bloody Lineker played on, ran the length pitch and turned what could have been 1-1 into 0-2. Hold a grudge? Me? ? It's only been 33 years...

“Who cares”?? Eh?

and remember brocks back pass

 

[Another Melbourne Ox]

Remember that all well. But in 85-86 we did beat them later in the season to all but end their title hopes. And we also knocked them out of the league cup in 1999(?). Or is that not enough revenge for you?

Personally I would like a struggling premier league side at home. Southhampton would be perfect!

 

[Leysboy]

Woking or Barnet at Home

Or Big six home or away

We’ll probably end up with a crap draw. Away to Barnsley

 

[Ox4Eva]

Reading away would be lovely!

 

[werthersoriginal]

Everton away - one last chance to visit the grand old lady before Everton move to the docks in a few years time..

Will there be time to do that as well as see the football?

 

[pooshooter]

i'd fancy woking at home and on tv for some extra cash
