FA Cup QF Draw | Newcastle (H) | Sat 16 Mar 17:30

[Stephen230]

Last chance for home advantage, so I’d prefer an opportunity to get rid of one of the better teams at home, than meet them at Wembley.

Liverpool ideally, assuming they get past Southampton.

 

[Etihad]

Home draw on Sunday please, Bob. Not Leeds.

 

[Gray]

I don't generally agree with theories of media bias but one thing I am struggling to deny is ITV's seemingly obvious intention of not showing us on the side bar during the draw. Surely with only 8 teams they will have no choice tonight? Potentially we will be set to a font seize of 8 points whilst everyone else is set to 64 points!

Will we be called the ‘current holders’ tonight, or will they make up another stupid remark?

 

[Gray]

Draw for FA Cup sixth round takes place at around 7pm tomorrow (Wednesday). Live on ITV4 and ITVX before the Chelsea v Leeds game.

Numbers as follows:

1. Newcastle
2. Chelsea or Leeds United
3. Leicester City
4. Liverpool or Southampton
5. Nottingham Forest or Manchester United
6. Wolves or Brighton
7. Coventry City
8. Manchester City

Ties to be played weekend of 16th/17th March - PL game at Brighton now moves to new date.

Guaranteed we will draw Brighton then.

Liverpool home. Can’t bare their fans and the booing of anthems and their IRÁ loving fan base so get it over and done with. Will take Coventry at home as a 2nd choice

a lower xg

The beautiful game we all love of Football is not played on a sheet of paper, my friend.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Cov away. Decent allocation and I can look forward to a semi afterwards.

Is this an innuendo?!

 

[johncity]

Coventry home

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Liverpool at home
Coventry away

Either please.

 

[shemnel]

Leicester and Enzo, what a tie

Ok so if that metric doesn't work for you use one that does? I have so far provided 3 examples that back up my point that you did not batter them 1-0-show me anything that independently says you did?

Semis is the crucial draw. In between CL fixtures. Get an easy semi and we win it again.

Not easy these “semis”!!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Rags, dips if though although come draw stage they won't know are due a difficult couple of games (I know Forest cos the rags are shit isn't 'easy')...

Winners of the above ties get Coventry & Leicester at home, we'll end up away at Chelsea/Toon.

I’m sure I heard Dalglish’s daughter on 5live last night describe us as the ‘former’ winners. Weird!!

I’m guessing that makes her beloved bin dippers the ‘former’ winners of the greatest cup ever only this passed weekend.

 

[blueste41]

Well over evens to beat a team near the bottom of the prem, what have they become ;)

 

[Blue Smarties]

You want to play Liverpool at home, not at Wembley. Get them out now.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Dippers at home with materially reduced seat allocation.
Wolves v Chavs
Brighton v Georgies
Forest v Leicester
Cov v Soton

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I fucking hate derbies, I always have. But I'd love to get the scum at home, and then see the energy drain out of their faces before tonight's game even starts :) Not a fan of these draws before the round of games are finished, but this would be funny.

Dippers at home with materially reduced seat allocation.

Looked at that for too long trying to work out what was wrong.... you're not getting Wolves & Brighton both into the QF's whatever else happens.
