No guarantee it will be Saturday 3PM though. If it's not, I don't think many will go. |  | | |

Can't see the TV channels being interested in this one sadly.
Two mid-table struggling Championship teams?
Nah. |  |

I might have seen 150 FA Cup draws featuring Saints in my lifetime. On the excitement scale that one ranks =149th. |  | | |

Ironically we were due to play Leicester away in the league on the weekend of the next FA Cup rounds (Feb 14th).
Liverpool v Brighton ; Hull v Chelsea ; Burton Albion v West Ham ; Grimsby v Wolves ; Aston Villa v Newcastle ; Birmingham v Leeds & Macclesfield v Brentford will ensure that our drab affair won't be getting moved in a hurry! | |

What a boring tie zzz.
At least we could have got Macclesfield, PL side or something interesting. Hopefully the ticket prices reflect how boring the tie is. | |

Not that it ultimately matters.
Take tonight's & tomorrow's League Cup semi finals for example:
Newcastle v Manchester City
Chelsea v Arsenal
What an absolute (predictable) yawnfest. The FA Cup will no doubt follow suit. | |

We've had 6 different FA Cup winners in the last 6 years, including Leicester and Palace, and, after the holders were knocked out by a non-league team, it looks like this year will see even greater surprises. The 3rd round saw some of the most exciting games in any competition this season. I just wish Saints were a bit stronger because a Championship team could well reach the final this year.
Football is never as predictable as people think. If it were, the bookies would go out of business. [Post edited 14 Jan 12:16]

The last team to reach the final from outside the top League was in 2008 .
I would love to see a lower league team get through but it aint going to happen | | | |

That year was an invalid year.
A team cheated their way to win it that year. |  |

It rarely ever has. From 1912 to 1973, West Brom in 1931 were the only 2nd tier team to win the FA Cup, In other European countries, it's even rarer. No 2nd tier team has ever won the Spanish cup. But, in England, every decade or so one reaches the final, and there is no less chance of that happening this year than there ever has been, and looking at how the Third round went, perhaps there is a little more chance this year.
