Got to laugh though when you see who the other big sides get.

Didn't we play Villa in the 3rd round last year?

No later, we struggled past Tamworth in the 3rd rounf last season, lost away to Villa IIRC

Never understand why people complain when drawn against a decent side.

We have to play good teams at some point, at which point more often than not we fudge it up. Better to do that in the third round so we can focus on the league. And if we win happy days....

ffs what a f#ckin joke, Villa AGAIN

And of course. the obligatory byes for Liverpool and City, at least Arsenal and Chelsea have to work...slightly

Charlton are woeful.

I think there's a practicality of managing the workload across the entire squad. Neither of these 2 managers will welcome having to field a really strong team when their nearest rivals are resting their key players.
