FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea | Sat 20 Apr 5:15pm SOLD OUT

[cookster]

That's the most unprofessional draw I've ever seen.

 

[jimharri]

If Coventry were ball 1 how the fuck were the scum ball 2? And why weren't we given the numbers first? Couldn't be more fucking obvious

Apparently, the numbers were on the BBC website before the draw. Not everything is a conspiracy, you know?

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Quelle surprise. Opens up the possibility of beating the rags in the final, though.

 

[coolcity]

Look at it this way, it will be brilliant to get them in the final and stuff them again.

 

[bladdered]

 

[TinFoilHat]

Hot Balls do it again.

 

[makinghistory]

Think Coventry are well capable of beating the rags. They are a decent footballing team.

 

[brazilians hurt]

Surely the numbers were based on when they qualified i.e. Coventry first, then City, Chelsea & finally United. Only conclusion they swapped it round to give the scum Coventry!

 

[Claytop]

Tbf United did get drawn Liverpool so don’t think we have much to complain about!

 

[kunaguero10]

Did they actually show the ball numbers before Ian Wright did the draw?

 

[youngbob]

No easy draws at this stage of the competition.

If we draw Coventry then we have one of Chelsea or United waiting in the final. If we draw United it's a Manchester derby at Wembley again. At least with this draw we can finally beat Chelsea this season and, call me a bit too optimistic, but Coventry can beat United and there's a chance we'll be playing them in the final if we get there.

 

[Tanzeylee]

When will we know which day we play

 

[Lowtower]

Chelsea have to have run out of luck against us this season by now.

Coventry will fancy their chances against the rags, up against it as its essentially a home game for the rags but a winnable game for them

 

[simon23]

we have to beat whoever is put in front of us.....

the only one people wouldnt have found something to complain about was Coventry so the tin foil hat brigade had a 2 out of 3 chance of having something to whinge about.

 

[hertsblue]

Such a professional draw that ffs

Least it was a bag and not the easy to see through clear bowl they often usr.
Rags: Wigan, Newport, Dippers, Coventry on way to the final.
Hopefully Pep plays a full strength team as we have been knocked out quite a lot bar last year in domestic semi finals by rotating

 

[TinFoilHat]

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that United got Coventry.

Coventry will be celebrating being in their first cup final since 1987.

 

[makinghistory]

Coventry must be delighted with that

They have a real chance. They are a decent football team.

 

[blueste41]

so....where where was the list of which team was which number?

They are derived from the order the ties were made in the previous round. For the 1/4 we were the last team drawn so become number 4, Coventry V Wolves was the 1st tie drawn so Coventry were ball 1.

 

[Bald fraud]

That Coventry ball was fresh out of the freezer!

 

[flook]

Oh for fucks fake stop!!
It is a 4 ball draw in a hat. Anyone could draw anyone. Looks like a City Rag final. We all want that.

stop what? every other fucking round there is a list on the screen
