This. Typical FA having no clause in place of a neutral venue incase Spurs reached the semi final. Anyhow anyone else playing Spurs in the semi final there, I am sure there would be this debate for a little while after the draw but as its the Rags I am sure it will go on daily until after the game with ex rags wheeled out to have their say and Moaninho mentioning it a few times

If it gives them an advantage against the rags I'm all for it.

Didn't Liverpool beat Roma on penalties (Grobblear's infamous wobbly legs routine) at Roma's ground?It happens sometimes for the Champion's League Final but no-one would ever suggest that UEFA are incompetent or corrupt.

Yes, and Chelsea beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz in 2012 final

I've always thought there is something wrong with the semi-finals being at Wembley, but it's great for several thousand fans who wouldn't get a ticket elsewhere.
The capacity is 90,000 with 15,000 in club Wembley, so that 75,000 in the rest of the ground.
IIRC City and Arsenal got approx 32,000 each last season so about 10,000 tickets went to the "football family" or tickets touts if you prefer.
Shift the game to the Emirates or the new WHL and there will still be 10,000 tickets siphoned off so each club would have got only 25,000. I don't give a shit as I've more than enough points to get a ticket at any likely semi-final venue. But a minimum of 7,000 City fans in the upper and lower tiers would have missed out plus those who were in club Wembley. And the number missing out would be even higher at traditional semi-final venues such as Villa Park and Hillsborough.
There's only one ground that could match the capacity and we don't want to be playing there do we?

If Spurs beat the Rag twats, I might put aside my natural hatred and mistrust of anything related to the FA, and send them a thank you letter.

Yes, and furthermore I’d like to suggest letting them play in the final there as well. Would everyone be in agreement?
