Ted Maul Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 5 minutes ago, AKCJ said: Would love something like Port Vale, Peterborough or Cov away. Exactly the kind of tie I want- any of those, Notts County or Bradford and I'd be happy. Cov is a terrible away day really, but I imagine we would get allocated about 8,000 and we've never really played them in my lifetime when there's been a big gulf between the sides- be nice to remind them of who we are.

MPH Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 I am beginning ot think that it might be our best chance of playing in Europe next season! Other than winning the champions league of course....
LanguedocFox Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 For years I had been saying that I would love us to win the FA Cup before I turn up me toes. After all, the Premiership was beyond us, wasn't it. OK, so we've done the difficult one, now let's win the Cup for me. Please.
RonnieTodger Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 100% as long as we don't get another draw against a Premier League team that will beat us.
blue army 1988 Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 We've got to give it a good go I think. Maybe get to the quarters depending on the quality of teams we meet.
AyewJoking Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 taking this season into consideration, we dont cope well when distracted by more than one competiton.
Voll Blau Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Will throw my hat into the Vale or Notts County away ring too. Them or Brentford, need to get on that terrace before they knock it down!
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Love the FA cup. Praying for a decent away draw in the 3rd round.
filbertway Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Definitely! I don't think we've been distracted by other competitions this season, we're just not very good this season and have been lucky that we've played championship standard teams.
urban.spaceman Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Absolutely. Last season Claudio saw it as a free game essentially - a chance to give the first XI a rest and to give some much needed game time to those who work so hard in training. Giving Vardy and Mahrez a rest in this was essential for the upcoming matches against Liverpool and Man City. I'd love us to win it one day but we should just use the 'free' game time to our best advantage. Same goes for the 6th group game in the Champions League and no I can't believe I just said that about Leicester City either.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 I'd love us to get Derby, Forest or Coventry in that order. Posh would also be OK. Seeing as we possibly won't be playing any of them any time soon. Unless we do go down this season!
Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Absolutely yes, however I'm looking forward to a "this has got to be fixed" pi$$-easy series of games (playing only lower division teams) until we get to the final and twat Florest.
desertfox2 Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 FA Cup still a major competition for me. We have won the prem and league cup would love to add the FA cup too. Wouldn't sniff at a Champions league win either.....
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 I'd love to see us win the FA Cup - the only English major trophy we haven't won I believe? A good cup run in the competition would be nice to see, given how well we've done previously in our history (four finals). Wouldn't want it to be an added strain/pressure on the players with what they're competing with at the moment, but perhaps an opportunity for the players who do not feature regularly in the first team to impress.
Corky Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 We should be bothered, it's a competition we could try and win. Winning it also completes the domestic set.
Matt Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 I would have liked to see us win it or take it seriously this year but we have bigger priorites, 1st is staying in the league and 2nd is seeing how far we can get in the CL/Go for the CL provided we're safe in the league we can put 100% into CL.
NewEnglandFox Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 We better be. Better than the relegation battle/mid-table obscurity we're currently in. Also the ticket to Europe is going to be a great bargaining chip to retain and attract players rather than just Premier League wages.
Guest Bilo Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Forest away to subject them to 90 minutes of the most arrogant shithousery seen since, well, Forest at any time since 1980. A non league away day. Port Vale away. Brentford away on that terrace. You've got to love Third Round day - it could be awful, it could be brilliant, but it'll keep you on your toes when the draw is made.
norwichfox Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 It's a glaring gap in our history, really would like to see us giving it a good go, also it's a route to get into Europe 17/18 season as we're unlikely to qualify via the Premier League or win this years Champions League. I wouldn't like us to win it at the expense of a place in the Premier League though. Please no banana skins in the 3rd round.
China Black Posted 29 November 2016 Posted 29 November 2016 Yes. It is a major trophy we never won, and a path towards European football next season. We should use the Title winning spirit of last season, and go all-out and add the FA Cup to the honours list of LCFC.
