Why is it never us?

[incredible_edibles]

When was our last decent cup draw

Yet the Nobbers always get decent draws

 

[JJpool]

Think we have some sort of curse on us.

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

In reality we do tend to get awful draws.

Nobbers get the opposite.

 

[Ping Pong]

Exactly!

 

[Threepeaksphil]

It’s true to form as when we got a draw at Highbury then came back to Bloomfield and won 3-2 (micky burns winner) after being 2-0 down we got bloody Hull away. We are very unlucky with the draws but teams like Man U mainly get home ties

 

[BFC_53]

Ironically, the only time I can remember us getting a top six prem team at home in the fa cup was Arsenal in 2019.....and no-one was there to see it because we were boycotting. Now that's bad luck!

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

It depends if you are a gory hunter and want a glorious defeat against a big club or a winnable match

I would prefer a match that we have more chance of winning thanks

We got Tottenham at home in the 90s

 

[Seasideforever]

Spurs 91 blimey 30 years of hurt

You've just accused glory hunters of wanting to lose, whilst you (presumably a non glory hunter) are only interested in winning, OR glory hunters only wanting a winnable match, whereas you'd prefer a a match we have more chance of winning.

Greater consistency required with the latest evolution of your character.

 

[Block j]

Southampton will be concentrating on prem survival and will play quite a few second stringers, Pool could just cause another upset especially with the recent additions.

 

[seasideone]

I thought this was a knobber thread talking about the Prem!

Exactly, have no doubt we’ll barely touch the ball , lose 0-2 and that will be that .

 

[Eternaloptimist]

We got Tottenham at home in the 90s

Is that when Paul Stewart and Gaza were playing for them?

Always thought we had Mansfield at home and got beat 0-2 after the Arsenal 3-2 comeback.

 

[20togo]

yeah was Hull away after we beat West Ham 4-0?.

The Hull away game followed the 3rd thrashing of Wet Spam

 

[thegloves]

We got Tottenham at home in the 90s

And QPR at home the year earlier. At the time, they were a top first division side.

 

[Hazi]

Is that when Paul Stewart and Gaza were playing for them?

Yes that’s the day

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Yes that’s the day

So was Leiniker who missed an absolute sitter

 

[Hazi]

David Seaman in nets, I went home and away to that one

 

[Terminallytangerine]

I remember an away game at Southampton when they confiscated Hoggie's drum. Miserable buggers.

 

[SeasideTerrier]

Is that when Paul Stewart and Gaza were playing for them?

Yup, for reasons best smudged from history,I was at Burnden Park watching Notlob V Barrow that day.

 

[Chunkylad]

We’ve been in the Prem. From then on they’re all just teams we’ve played in the league home and away

For the Nobbers they’re all glamour ties. Cholera was the biggest attacking threat last time they faced these teams in the league.

I’m with Phil. Give me a team we can beat!!

 

[Adams Kebab]

Arsenal at home when the boycott was on…

Everton away in round 5 and we changed 3/4 of the team

 

[Alfie Conn]

Everton away in round 5 and we changed 3/4 of the team

Was the subject not glamour clubs!

 

[Brabinho]

We had Arsenal away, 98? 99? I know it was away and down south but Clarkson equalising against a team that was full of World Cup stars was pretty awesome. Was worth the trip even though we lost 3-1

 

[Matesrates]

Clearly the draw is fixed, the FA want to punish us.

 

[Nuttalls Mint Toes]

Arsenal at home when the boycott was on…

I don't even remember that which I suppose proves how successful the boycott was!

 

[Wizaard]

When was our last decent cup draw

Yet the Nobbers always get decent draws

We drew Arsenal twice in two years when we were boycotting.

 

[Wizaard]

I remember an away game at Southampton when they confiscated Hoggie's drum. Miserable buggers.

And ripped the skins before they gave it back.

Bastards.

99, just before Christmas, very messy trip.

Another Holloway master class that one

Went 442 even though we had been playing 4231 all season

Hardly touched the ball that day with a massive away support

That was the day I realised what a ** he was

He was advertising the FA Cup with Budwieser whilst disrespecting it with about 8 changes as we had West Han at home midweek..we lost that as well even though they had 10 men with a midfielder in nets

 

[Cleveleys boy]

We had Arsenal away, 98? 99? I know it was away and down south but Clarkson equalising against a team that was full of World Cup stars was pretty awesome. Was worth the trip even though we lost 3-1

That was a top day out..Monday night game and around 2000 pool fans on a specials train

 

[Macseasider]

When was our last decent cup draw

Imagine how utterly disappointed Spurs fans are with that draw.

 

[Adams Kebab]

I only remember it for their team coach being sat on and I don’t mean Unai Emery

 

[bill40]

I think I've found the answer.

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Villa away around 2015?
