Preston North End 2006-2007 Chat

Not the best of draws, I was hoping for either a big club or a minnow. I can't remember who beat us last year, the FA Cup seems to have lost a lot of it's glamour.

[David]

Yes they beat us last season 2-1 after a 1-1 draw at Deepdale.

It's another PNE v Crystal Palace game this weekend. It's a cup match so I'm not really sure if it will do PNE any good to win through, they should save all their best games for the league.

Carlo Nash wants to leave the club, his fiancee apparently lives in London and he's missing her. I think Lonnergan may be in goal tomorrow. A good game to lose, agreed.

[Martin]

They won! Would they prefer a big team in the next round or easier opposition? If they get a big draw it'll help pay the bills.[]

READING v Preston come on ...

I'm hoping for a big club home or away, Man U/ Chelsea/ Arsenal, failing that Derby or Blackpool at home.

FA Cup fifth round drawChelsea v Blackpool or Norwich
Watford v Ipswich
Preston v Man City
Plymouth v Derby County
Man Utd v Reading
Arsenal or Bolton v Blackburn
Bristol City or Middlesbrough v West Bromwich Albion
Fulham v Tottenham

it's 'do-able'

[noel]

I think they can win that, given City's recent poor form. Might get a bit of support tomorrow, most of the people there are United fans.

Now you're back Jim, I can't remember showing this photo, taken from, any ideas?
