Haven't seen anything about this, I would expect it to be open from now on.

Doesn’t matter if It’s open or not, it’s fixed.

majority of big teams will get easy games, one will play a prem team they would expect them to win but hides the fact it’s fixed... unfortunately we are one of the sides that would fall under that.

It's easy to tell when someone doesn't have the facts when they say "the fact that"

This comes up every time a draw is made. Do people still believe that really? How many huge 3rd round FA cup games have there been down the years? That wouldn't happen if draws were fixed.

Look at the draws from the last 3 years. The big teams avoid each other consistently. 

It was only a half serious sentiment but It just seems weird that it could be random. The fa would want the big teams at the latter stages to make bigger games. 

There was an fa cup I think it was 2 years ago that was mind blowing how all the bigger teams avoided hard games (including us) 

Last years fa cup had Everton Liverpool first round then that was it.

I lost faith in it after that, hope I’m just paranoid and this year throws some of the big boys together.

I just object to anyone claiming to speak for 'we' - you might well have guessed right, we can revisit this tomorrow!

My bad, no more "we's" anymore lol

I was looking at the list of teams in the draw still and I was mentally ticking them off if I'd want us to play them but I included us in that list. To bed it is.

Have a feeling we'll get a rubbish draw against a fellow mid-table prem side where the result could go either way. I'd guess at Everton at home.

Hoping we get as winnable a tie as possible. Wycombe at home or something. Unlikely to be able to travel, myself, (unless it's Forest/Derby) so not bothered about an away tie. Nice and simple to get us through to the next round with minimum fuss.
