It''s great to be out of the Cup. Swansea away is not an attractive game so yesterday''s debacle is justified IMO. Onwards and Upwards to the Prem !!!!  [<:o)]

[quote user="Olski_yellows"]orient got swansea away so would of been a tough game anyway. Would much rather play palace for three points[/quote]

Whilst Swansea away would have been an awful draw.....I''m never quite sure whether that would have been the case?, Are the balls in the draw numbered in alphabetical order or in order of the game number from the previous round??

If its alphabetical ,it wouldn''t have been Swansea would it??

Whilst the Championship teams are getting knocked out in the 4th round we will be beating Palace and putting ourselves into the automatic spots!

 

We don''t need the FA Cup, COYY!

Quite right, just because Leyton Orient got Swansea that does not mean we would have got them if we had won yesterday.

That''s a good point actually and I suppose you could work out the number that we would have had. Having said that, if we had drawn Man Utd we would have had an extremely dodgy penalty given against us and Holt would have been sent off. Best out of the corrupt FA Cup IMO. [:D]

If I remeber rightly..on the last draw we were the number before Nottingham Forest, who today were 30, so we would have been number 29

Based on that theory it looks to me that we would have got Southampton or Notts County away. Still pleased to be out.... LOL

In the FA cup the number you are drawn out in say the 3rd round is the number carried forward to the 4 th round draw. Thus as we were the 31 st tie drawn out Orient went into the draw as 31. Torquay & Carlisle were the last tie drawn so torquay bcame number 32. Only time alpha order comes in is for Prem & Championship sides in round 3.

League Cup by the way is alpha.

Would''nt City have had Nottm Forest No i,e, West Ham away still not glamour tie.

Perhaps we ought not to enter cups to save money

Can we just get over all this twaddle about who we are NOT going to play in 4th round and start focusing on our next game v Cardiff.

just thought it was an interesting general point on how cup draws are conducted.

.

If your''e not interested in talking about the FA Fourth round draw then my advice is dont read through a thread entitled "4th round draw" ?!

I agree - too much ''wudda cudda'' for me! Cardiff and 3 more league points on Saturday is our main focus now...
