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

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.

1 Coventry
2 Rags
3 Chelsea
4 Us

Explained now. Cheers. Like a good conspiracy me.

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

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

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.

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 ..

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!

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.

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

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.
