FA Cup 5th Round Draw (against Chelsea Home)

[Citysmith]

Perhaps this game could be played on the Friday?

That's a great idea!!

sheff wednesday are not ideal opponents for a dress rehearsal v barca.

i would of thought a good kicking from a lower level team wont help us either.

the only thing that concerns me is Aguero's hatred for david luis

The issue is rotation, not the quality of the opposition.You need your best team out for Chelsea but not for Sheffield weds. This wouldn't matter if we didn't have a huge league game 3 days before and a huge CL game 3 days after.

Before we get another tool going "man up" (and it's a good rule of thumb that anyone who uses that phrase is a tool) this isn't about fear. It's about common sense.

Fuck it. What's done is done. I trust Pellegrini and the boys to go out there and do the business. Three wins in these games will do nicely thank you very much. If I had to lose one it would be Chelsea I think.

We had to put close our best team out against Watford in the second half yesterday because we were fucking dreadful in the first half. And we got a piss easy draw in Round 3 and rested a few there then and were fucking dreadful.

I think it does us better when we have to play the best sides.

So do I.
Looking at those who disagree just reassures me.

At least we're at home.

Any chance this could be on the Friday? Would be great if it was, esp with Barca being next up on the Tuesday...

How many more times;

WE'RE PLAYING ON THE PRECEDING WEDNESDAY AGAINST SUNDERLAND, THEREFORE THE CUP GAME CAN'T BE PLAYED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.








And r-e-l-a-x!

Could play Friday if we move the Sunderland game to the Tuesday?

Perhaps this game could be played on the Friday?

Not a bad idea.

Thanks Rammy, I'm sure the folks who organise the dates will see it the same way. Friday it is then.

We can moan all we like, we can discuss it until hell freezes over, unlike the other cup competitions the FA cup is free from any form of coefficients and is purely luck of the draw.

We have been drawn at home, yes it may have been nice for it to have been a lower placed club but we have Chelsea even if you don't like it you have to accept it.

We have Barca following, thats been in the lists for weeks. If our club wanted to have some down time and rest it would have been piss simple to bottle it against Watford.

What encourages me is that the players responded to the challenge yesterday and will respond to this one as well, it will need the whole squad to up their game I am not certain in the clubs eyes which of the two games is more important I just hope we can do ourselves justice in each game.

What will piss me off royally is if we are picked for Sunday.

Just come in from a hozzy visit and only read two pages of the thread.

Fcuk me! Enough navel-gazing and prevaricating about the fixture calendar. This is the best draw possible. Home game, we march on to the sixth round and we eliminate a major contender in the process by sticking it up the Arrogant One.

What's not to like?
