FA Cup 5th Round Draw (against Chelsea Home)

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

Chance to really set down our marker here. At home where we are very strong. Outplayed them at Stamford Bridge, should have come away with no less than a point there if not for a blunder. Chance to knock out a major rival and stunt their momentum.

"Poor draw "
"Bad timing

What the fook are some of you on.
ffs man up you soft twats.

Would you have preferred to get beat yesterday and get a well earned rest , like the rags.

We are competing on 4 fronts , what the hell did you expect.

This place is fuckin mental sometimes... Jesus H Navas

It's not about being scared of playing them it's having so many tough games in such a short period of time. Our squad isn't that deep if you really look at it. Only our first choice team could beat Chelsea twice and stand a chance at beating Barca. So those players have really tough games in short periods of time to handle which increases the chance of fatigue and injury. It's not a weak attitude to hope you get an easy draw especially with the tough games you already have.

Just hope Chelsea game is Saturday kick off. Big month coming up for us. Could really do with a signing or two to help boost the ranks. At least all game sin Feb bar Norwich are at home. Really hoping that our key players can stay fit, we are due some luck on the injury front.

No... just the much, much simpler option of a lower league team at home.

What an odd extreme you went to.

Any one at home.

Always has been , always will be.

Exactly what we got.

Comprende

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

Unlucky tbh. Owners will want us to prioritise the champions league esp. with the glam tie against Barca. A rotated side against Chelsea I feel would not get the job done, even at home. This is going to be watford 2.0 except us losing. Mou would never let his team lose a 2 goal lead

Absolute bollocks,we go out to win every game with the squad we've got

Well if Pellegrini knew the rules on head-to-head in the Group Stage we might have got the easier draw in the CL!

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

Jesus Christ, what a shit draw. At least it's home. Getting a Friday game would be superb. Can't see it though. It's a tie with a big audience potential so they'll want the best time for it. Sunday would be an unmitigated disaster.

Hard to call which game we prioritise, if any, this or Barca. My gut tells me Barca.

It will be Saturday as we play on the Wednesday great draw IMO

How on earth is it a great draw? It could only be worse if it was away.

Scunthorpe home is a great draw, not bloody Chelsea.

It's subjective as fans this the type of game we want to see

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

Christ there's some serious amount of knicker wetting on here. Chelsea also have a Champions league game that week.

No they don't

Chelsea play the week after they are free midweek.
