The FA Cup 3rd round is just on the horizon, bearing in mind that a fair few other members clubs are becoming included - who would you like to get in the 3rd round? And if your club is still in 2nd round who would you like if you make it through?
I'd personally like to avoid non-league opposition and lower league opposition at all costs as we'd only lose as we always do. I'd prefer a Fulham, Middlesbrough or Bolton so that I could see how well Wolves do against them. West Bromwich Albion would be welcome as well, and on a personal note I wouldn't mind Peterborough United as one of my best mates supports them and we've been crying out for a Wolves v Posh fixture for years!
For those of you who aren't aware the third round draw is Sunday at 2.15pm.

Meh, if we had got through, I would have missed a bloke at works birthday party because I'd have been at Fleetwood. So, every cloud and all that.....

I wouldn't mind Leeds at home in the third round to be perfectly honest.

They always bring a few fans and it's usually a good ding-dong of a game. Plus it's nice beating them.

Well, if us and Curzon had both got through, I'd have wanted them, but seeing as neither happened... Who am I supposed to support in the Cup now?!

Not many tasty fixtures in the 3rd round this year to be honest, apart from Middlesbrough - Barrow.
Bit disappointed.

Are you blind Olly....Brum v Wolves? That's not a stereotypical classic Third Round tie though is it? A big derby yes, but not a good old fashioned David v Golliath clash.

It's not even a first choice local derby. What a poo draw - we may as well just give the reserves a run out and concentrate on the league.

Definitely no Christmas match for me to go to then. Just any decent home draw would have been good. Then again, looks like I'm going to see The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe at the Rep that day, so would have only been able to go depending on what time we see it anyway.
On another note, NOT the draw Sunderland fans would have wanted to see ;D

Bit of a so so draw for us. Already drawn with them at home 0 - 0 and, because we've actually been drawn at home for once, a potential banana skin.
