Olympic rower Steven Redgrave had a good fiddle with his ball bag at Wembley today (hurr hurr), and as a result the Tigers will face Wigan away in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. It’s hardly a draw to get excited about, one rather hoped we’d get to hammer some Lower League Shite, Leeds for example.
Cup runs are a rarity for City, though last year we featured in the Semi Final draw, we were however eked out at the Quarter Final stage courtesy of a clearly offside goal by Arsenal at the Emirates in a game now famous for Cesc Fabregas’ dress sense and alleged expectoration.
Subject to the machinations of TV companies, the Wigan tie is to be played on Saturday January 2nd 2010.
