Semi-final draw: City v Arsenal 3pm Sunday confirmed

[Stevieatlasblue]

Reduce the prices for us Mancs..not fair it being played at a neutral ground?

You may be right, I've just looked back and we were away to the Dippers in the Capital Cup and we had the East Side for that?

Not so drawn out last against the rags in the 2011 semi and got west end

Even though I went, which end did we get for the Charity Shield vs Arsenal a couple of season's ago?

Quick peek on Arsenal forums & they're happy to be playing us too.

Probably the best draw, both matches are up in the air with who'll win.

It will be an open game that's for sure. Arsenal won't be parking a bus. Could be a 5/4 score!

It doesn't make sense when its a london club v northern club though imho.

We were West Side against Wigan but drawn away and West Side against Stoke and drawn at home so there's no logic behind it as far as i can see?

3 good teams. Avoided Chelsea and we can definitely beat Arsenal. They will be targeting this game though as their only winnable trophy.

Would like a revenge mission on Spurs for the FA Cup Final

Another premier league team away - FIX!!

Good draw. Sane against monreal will be the clincher, no way he keeps him quiet.

Fairly sure we had the East side for the CS.

As the only team that has to travel we should get Saturday but I bet we don't.

Also we potentially will be the only team left in the CL and I think there's a CL game that week so the PL should have a duty of care to give us the most time possible to prepare

It's a ridiculous colour for a man of his age.

I am a man of his age lol!
I would die of piss taking if I got one!
But it looks far better than that thing on top of Trump's head!

Probably move the game to 8:00 pm on Sunday night then.

They'll probably put them on the same day and make us forfeit one of them

Would have preferred City-Arsenal final tbh. Would have been a great final for the neutral as both teams would attack like they were 1970's Brazil. A city/Arsenal-Spurs/Chelsea final would be less action. Though I have a feeling a NLD final would be entertaining as well if we get there.

One things for sure though the City-Arsenal semi will be the more entertaining out of the two as both will look to attack and it could be high scoring with our (Arsenal) defence.

It will be an open game that's for sure. Arsenal won't be parking a bus. Could be a 5/4 score!

Exactly!!

Don't think arsenal will be disappointed with that draw either.

They're not, been on a quick trawl of their boards, they reckon it's the best draw they could have got.

I guess with Anthony Taylor in the middle they have to fancy their chances. Bit of a step up from Sutton and Lincoln though!

We had the east end against arsenal in the com shield last time, torch pub etc

 

[stan bowles]

Good draw. 2 teams who like to attack. Any chance Jesus will be back by then ? If not, by the final hopefully at the end of May.

 

[bluesmith]

5 of the last 6 teams to be drawn away in the Semi Finals have got the West Side. Arsenal have had the East side for their last 2 Wembley matched but had the west for at least the previous 4.

Going off previous draws I don't think it makes a difference to which end you get.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Yeah but then his arse went and he was scared shitless to book the rags.

Valencia should've walked, even before his studs up assault.
