The Irons draw Barnsley in the Cup


Earlier on today the F.A Cup 3rd Round draw was made at F.A Headquarters Solo Square.


The number every West Ham fans was looking for was 42 and they got picked out at home and then the opposing team was announced as Championship side Barnsley.


Zola is happy with the draw as he says it is a good start to play at home and especially when you have got the crowd that West Ham have got. But Barnsley will be no pushovers as they proved a point last season as they seemed to be the surprise package of the Cup as they got to the Semi's but lost out to Cardiff at Wembley. Along the South Yorkshire club knocked out Liverpool at Anfield and then Chelsea at home in the 1/4 finals.


Can Zola lead the hammers to Cup glory as he has won the prestigious Cup twice in his time at Chelsea. The last meeting between the 2 sides was in 1998 when they met each other at Upton Park and West Ham ran riot and won 6-0. But the Tykes will not want a repeat of that.
