I know it's three days away but it takes place this Sunday after the Kettering-Leeds game. Hopefully it will be on between our game finishing and the start of the Arsenal-Chelsea game.

It is already guaranteed that at least three non-League clubs will be in the hat for the Third Round, with the ties between Oxford United and Barrow, Cambridge United and York City and Bath City against Forest Green Rovers all giving those clubs dreams of a big game in the next round.

Otherwise, the likes of Staines Town, Northwich Victoria, Burton Albion, Wrexham, Rushden & Diamonds, Luton Town and Kettering Town will all still hope to be involved in the draw too, as they prepare to face Football League opposition in their Second Round Proper ties.

Taking place around 3.55pm on Sunday afternoon, shortly after the televised game between Kettering Town and Leeds United on ITV1, the Third Round Proper draw is one of the most eagerly awaited events in the English football calendar.

The draw numbers are as follows:-

1 Arsenal                   
2 Aston Villa               
3 Barnsley                   
4 Birmingham City           
5 Blackburn Rovers           
6 Blackpool                 
7 Bolton Wanderers           
8 Bristol City
9 Burnley                   
10 Cardiff City               
11 Chelsea                   
12 Coventry City             
13 Crystal Palace             
14 Derby County               
15 Doncaster Rovers           
16 Everton                   
17 Fulham                     
18 Hull City                 
19 Ipswich Town               
20 Leicester City             
21 Liverpool                 
22 Manchester City           
23 Manchester United         
24 Middlesbrough             
25 Newcastle United           
26 Nottingham Forest         
27 Peterborough United       
28 Plymouth Argyle           
29 Portsmouth                 
30 Preston North End         
31 Queens Park Rangers       
32 Reading                   
33 Scunthorpe United         
34 Sheffield United           
35 Sheffield Wednesday       
36 Stoke City                 
37 Sunderland                 
38 Swansea City               
39 Tottenham Hotspur         
40 Watford                   
41 West Bromwich Albion       
42 West Ham United           
43 Wigan Athletic             
44 Wolverhampton Wanderers   
45 Northwich Victoria or Lincoln City
46 Northampton Town or Southampton
47 Hereford United or Colchester United
48 Tranmere Rovers or Aldershot Town
49 Kettering Town or Leeds United
50 Gillingham or Burton Albion 
51 Wrexham or Swindon Town
52 Brighton & Hove Albion or Rushden & Diamonds
53 Rotherham United or Luton Town 
54 Milton Keynes Dons or Exeter City
55 Brentford or Walsall
56 Carlisle United or Norwich City
57 Accrington Stanley or Barnet
58 Oxford United or Barrow
59 AFC Bournemouth or Notts County
60 Stockport County or Torquay United
61 Cambridge United or York City
62 Bath City or Forest Green Rovers 
63 Port Vale or Huddersfield Town
64 Staines Town or Millwall

At this stage the FA Cup probably represents our best chance of winning a trophy this season. I suppose all you really ask for is a home draw.

Will we draw Blackpool?

[andy_g]

the one and only thing that could possibly dispel the doom and gloom surrounding this season so far is drawing blackpool in the fa cup.

Match thread well and truly established! 

[Waldo]

Maybe we'll see Aquilani in the FA Cup. Perhaps Rafa is saving him for this comp

[Ben Patrick]

If we got them away, i would be worried.

[Dundalk]

Our whole season depends on this draw

[roberto green]

Our whole season depends on this draw

Not only that but maybe Rafa's tenure

[JoeTerp]

64 Staines Town or Millwall

Ali G's team vs. the bad guys from Football Factory/Green Street Hooligans

what a match up.

[Toffeehater]

Knowing our luck we'll probably get chelsea

they start with a B so it would be a danger game.

[JoeTerp]

if the FA wanted to double or triple its viewership in America, when the Cup reached 64 teams, they would draw out the  cup to its conclusion.  American sports fans love nothing more than a bracket to fill out.



Online bookies would probably get a lot of american coin too.

if you happen to read the post, it starts with an if. Never do I claim to say that it is or should be a priority of the FA.
