FA Cup 3rd Round Draw Tonight
Mon Dec 08, 2025 6:18 pm
Anyone feel a bit disappointed we are not in this? Have got so used to joining in the 3rd round that it seems a bit unusual not to be looking forward to this tonight.
Don't get me wrong I was away at Peterborough and wasn't upset that we were knocked out - concentrate on the league, as the saying goes.
But it just doesn't feel right to not be watching this and hoping for an away tie - up North

I get what you're saying but hopefully it's just for one season that we're not in it.
I think I'd be more disappointed that we weren't in it if it wasn't for our Carabao Cup run.
In all likelihood we will lose to Chelsea and then we will just have the league until the end of the season, which will probably be good for us. In the unlikely event we beat Chelsea, then that's already two extra games in January so an FA Cup game may get in the way.
Without the FA Cup in 2026 this season, I think it gives us a much better chance of achieving our aim of promotion.
