I hope we get a draw that gives us a chance of progressing to the 4th round and hopefully a home tie

So scouse my old mate Everton at Goodison must be a banker away win.

I'd like that although their ground is poor by premiership standards.

Far, Far from it it's one of the few proper football grounds that remain in the Premiership.

i just fancy a draw that sees us get a bit of coin to get a player in january and to give the kids a good away day treat

failing that barrow at home

Excellent point. It shouldn't be hard to name all the proper grounds in the Irrelevantship.
Goodison is one. I propose Villa Park for two.

Craven Cottagers

would you pay £35 to watch anything and be happy to not see some of it cos there's a post in the way?

Oy! this is Hartlepool you're talking to. We used to have to hold the damn posts up.
