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

[Scottish Cityzen]

After the draw Ian shite was singing Chelsea Chelsea fucking wankers

His behaviour was fucking bizarre. An unfunny ****.

 

[Bluearmy]

That draw wasnt bent much

 

[uwerosler28]

Didn't even bother to tell us the numbers so they could just decide who was who. They're not even committing to pretending it's all official and above board anymore. I've seen better organisrd raffle draws.

Beat chelsea for once and then a repeat of last year's final where we should twat them this time. Tasty.

The numbers where released yesterday

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

If its Chelsea first i'll take Coventry second please

Strange choices if you’re choosing.

Coventry and then Chelsea.

Or Chelsea and then Coventry.

Please.

Strange how you 2 don't want to play & beat Utd in the final.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

When will we know which day we play

Cov v Utd : Saturday 3pm
City v Chelsea : Sunday 6.15pm ;-)

This is how the teams were drawn for the Q/F:

​

Full FA Cup quarter-final draw​

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Coventry City

Manchester United v Liverpool

Chelsea v Leicester City

Manchester City v Newcastle United

 

[Axel Freed]

worst possible draw

we'll be at our most vulnerable given the fixtures and the way Poch sets his teams up against Pep

that said, we'll rightly be favourites and they'll also be thinking worst possible draw

 

[CTID1988]

We will fucking batter them. An all sky blue final should be good too!

 

[i kne albert davy]

Will we get the Saturday or Sunday game ?

 

[Semper aggressus]

Not arsed, if we’d drawn Coventry then we’d have to face rags or chavs in the final, where a defeat would be much more painful.

I’m assuming if we do manage to beat Chelsea then it’ll be a repeat of last year’s cup final. Coventry have zero chance of beating rags and var.

 

[madloaf]

Souness realizes they didn't win against us at home right? The media seems to have forgotten, they played well, but couldn't fucking beat us at their best.

 

[imrebanana]

1 Coventry
2 Rags
3 Chelsea
4 Us

Explained now. Cheers. Like a good conspiracy me.

 

[jrb]

Why are people complaining? Liverpool are out. City will beat Chelsea, Coventry or United.

 

[RayCTID]

It could be a reverse Robins moment where Ten Hag would get the sack

 

[coolcity]

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

I'm no conspiracy theorist but we didn't see the other side of the balls. It wouldn't have been that difficult to switch them during that shambles. I'm not suggesting it happened, but it's not impossible.

We all knew the draw before it was made and we do know they're trying to stop us off the park if they can't do so on it, that's not in question.

 

[deano ou812]

I’m finding this weird possibility of facing rags in FA cup final while playing madrid and possibly Bayern again like last season (although Madrid and Bayern the other way round ) and arsenal in the league ( yes along with the scousers ) but the similarities to last season are there ..

 

[blueste41]

Did anyone know the numbers. Order should be Cov.1 us 2 Chavs3 rags 4 going by order of play. Fishy to me.

But it doesn't go by order of ties played!

 

[youngbob]

You have to question the logic here....

City should have been ball 4 and not 3.

Manchester United comes after Manchester City alphabetically,

United should have been 4 becaise they were the last team to qualify.....

How did City become ball 3 and United 4?

Just nore this.... they never disclosed the ball numbers before the draw, just let that sink in, Had they already decided who Coventry were going to play behind the scenes?

They did disclose the numbers before the draw, just not on TV. There are a few links to the BBC website already posted in this thread. And it's also already been explained that the ball numbers weren't alphabetically determined but were organised based on the order they came out in the QF draw.

 

[urban genie]

bbc have first pick of the coverage so guessing we will be on ITV

 

[TrentGrisham]

They’re 11th in the league. We underachieved drawing with them twice.

Also, the game will follow a big European game and we’ll be a bit weaker if we’ve involved. Rather face Chelsea slightly under strength than United.

Chelsea has far more talent on its team than United. Sure, it has underachieved this season, but almost all of its underlying numbers are good and indicate that they should have far more points than they do.
