Hopefully I may have a 'home tie' in the third round then if Morecambe beat Cheltenham on Tuesday evening.

Barrow must be delighted with that draw! Although the look on the Histon players faces when they learnt they were playing Swansea, was hardly of elation!

Probably similar to what Havant and Waterlooville thought last season - and then knocked them out to set up a dream visit Liverpool.

Blackpool at home......(groan)

Still its a bit winnable.....would rather have had the orgyle's draw though.

...We haven't had a big draw in the cup since the 60's when we beat the then mighty Leeds (Histon ha ha) 4-0 at plainmoor......and no i wasnt born then.

I reckon pick of the draw will be Birmingham v Wolves, both high fliers in the Championship so far this season, should be quite interesting and one to look out for.

Turks v Blackpool, they wont even sell out their tiny little ground and the feckin Argyle will make enough out of their trip up the Arse to stay out of administration for another season, so good and bad from the draw.

Definition of stupid, knowing the truth, seeing th
only 3 all premiership ties unfortunately; was hoping for the 6 or 7 as last year; but hopefully it will still be another year of the underdog like last season [y]

Forest Green v Derby will be a good game, and hopefully Blyth win so they get to play Blackburn. A nice little earner for Argyle as well.

I see that Southampton have got Man U, Wonder if Mr Lowe will open the corners of the stadium for this one?
