FA Cup Qtr final draw - away (big shock) at Middlesbrough

[schfc6]

Well, just for once I wanted Lincoln at home; not an away tie to a Prem side who we played and lost to in the cup not long ago and who have a habit of getting lucky against us.

I think these are the worst types of draws.
Hard enough that you have to field a strong side and can't take any chances.
Not hard or big enough for the players to really get up for it. Normally in half empty stadiums.
Draws where all the pressure is on us and loss is considered a failure and no doubt disrespecting the cup.

Yup.

If it has been 7 away draws in a row then 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% = 0.7% chance.

As a sequence, the probability of occurrence is 128/1 or 0.0078125

Tottingham with another walk over, not forgetting there's a number one in the year, it's their year, over to Crouchino !

What bollocks. I'm calling this draw fixed ffs. They can see the stick Wenger is getting and so are giving him an easy run to the Semis. Fuck off FA

Southampton away last round?

It's not an easy draw but for me it's the 9th hardest out of the 14 possible we could have got.

Wenger must be pinching himself. Another get out of jail card, no European football and a good chance of another FA cup.

we rested 7 players the last time we lost to Boro at home , they robbed us in November and we won the other two games since the take over so hardly a bogey team in recent years. Admittedy they did give us a 8-1 hiding in 2008 , but they battered us in 1903 as well and that is just about as relevant since we spent a billion on the squad.

It's NINE in a row stretching back to last season.

I was just looking at FA cup.

Nowt to do with conspiracy but I don't think we are luckiest of teams when it comes to things like this.

How you think this is in any way a wonderful draw, I'm not sure.

Plenty of Guinness ;-)
