FA CUP FOURTH ROUND DRAW

This Monday evening we will have the draw for the 4th Round of this season's FA Cup. After AFC Wimbledon's very disappointing 0-0 draw on Saturday with Sutton United we are both still in the hat and maybe a decent tie will mean the team bucks it's ideas up and plays with more passion in the replay next week.

We will update here on Monday night with the details of the 4th round draw while it's being made which will begin shortly after 7pm and transmitted live on BBC 2. Conducting the draw will be former players and previous FA Cup winners Michael Owen and Martin Keown and they will be on hand to perform the draw out of the 'hat'. Hopefully we can get a nice money earning tie against someone like Arsenal (Ball no 20) or Manchester United (3). 

AFC Wimbledon have been allocated ball number 30.

Reaction;
So depending on how the replays turn out it's a home tie against a massive club in Leeds United. Which would be a repeat of one of Wimbledon's previous famous FA Cup exploits when a non league club back in the 1970s. The Dons then managed to hold that monster of a side to a 0-0 draw at Elland Road only to lose 1-0 in the replay back at Plough Lane. 

Or it could be Sutton vs Leeds. We'll see how the replay turns out.
