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

People complaining that the draw was fixed. Come on! They wouldn’t be complaining if City had drawn Coventry. They are only complaining because City didn’t draw Coventry and some how making out the draw was manipulated. It’s the same every time City don’t draw the easy team.

Tbh, I couldn't give a toss who we play, have to beat them all at some point....however, my 81yr old, Saints supporting old man turned the TV over before the draw, looked at me and "they want a City-Utd final, can't trust Utd to beat Chelsea, so you'll play Chelsea, pointless watching it, and I'll bet you £500 I'm right" ......and you know what, I thought exactly the same.

I can't believe the thing that had a 66% chance of happening did in fact happen.

Yeah but they all got it in for us guv..

I'm just so happy that quad squad garbage is fucked off and any mention of a treble people know is a poxy one. Lovely stuff.

Complacency will be the only thing from us winning this pot again this season. We’re favourites for the CL and the quality of the three left in this competition is not even comparable to those left in Europe.

Probably the most unprofessional cup draw I’ve ever seen. By one person and sat down. Didn't even say what numbers the balls were…

Nearly beat that carabo cup draw during ad break

The greatest trick the devil ever did was convincing us he didn't exist.

Great week for us. Two home games in the final legs of the champions league is a big advantage assuming we can get past Real. Think if we get the final we are stronger than the teams on the other side of the draw. Into an Fa cup semi, important point at Anfield. A bit of a rest and change of scenery for the lads now and back for the business end of the season. Maximum 17 games left. Could we actually do a double treble??

Mind you having said all that get beat by Arsenal or draw and I do not think we will win the league. They won’t be easy to beat. Big stake!

Likely we’ll be at Brighton (or Spurs) the midweek after the Semi Final.

Is it? That would be bad news. We will have to rotate quite a few for the Chelsea game.

Well on the law of averages the better team is the most likely to win at least 1 out of 3.

Appreciate that looking at the games this season, Podge has come with a system to disrupt our control.
He’s been decent in knock out competitions against Pep in the past.
The game is due to be played after the Madrid quarter final as well.
Hopefully the FA will have the game on the Sunday giving us more rest.
Coventry would have been ideal.

The numbers are at the start of this thread and were on the Beeb.

The entire ITV Sunday schedule was pushed back. The draw was done as quick as it could be

Stop crying for theories. We are the favourites and have been given a chance to smash United in a season where we do a double treble.
