Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

Lee Dixon got it right, City , Chelsea,Arse,Dippers will all be disappointed with that draw.

Terrible draw especially just before the Barca game.

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

absolutely ridiculous draw.

no doubt the tv scheduling will put us down to play on the sunday despite us having barcelona on the tuesday, if it's the case then in my opinion we should threaten to play the kids in protest to get the saturday at least.

Fuck.

This is what it will be like for us now. Get used to it.

Exactly! What do people expect when we're still in 4 competitions? Would they rather us be out of everything and just playing once per week?

3 days before we play Barca at home.

Great.....

My sentiments entirely. A fucking terrible draw, 3 days before one of the biggest games in our history. Always has to be the hard way with us.

We are a big game team mate.

This is the level we are at now and there is no point bemoaning it imo.

It's not the level of opposition that concerns me, it's the proximity of the two games to each other and the fact that tired legs won't get a rest.

Also Barca is a 2 Game Tie, so even with a bad result in first game we have chance to win second game, Full Strenght for chelsea
