FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

Ignoring all other factors City playing Wolves in the final would be a great match as they would actually try to win it rather than play for penalties from the kick-off.

I hope that Brighton beat Millwall in the last match of the round as nobody should have to risk going to a semi against their animal fans.

It's essential we get Wolves in the Semi and knock them out otherwise they will field a half hearted team, trying to avoid injuries, the week prior to the final, in their last league game at Liverpool.

They could be that distracted Liverpool could rattle in a load of goals.

Likewise we need to hope Brighton take the other route too the final as we play them last and need them completely focused on a cup final appearance.

That’s some great research especially on a Saturday night.
Haha.
 
I want the easiest semi final possible, I'd rather play wolves or Watford in the final after the league has finished. We have enough difficult games coming up without Wolves in a semi.

We want a Millwall win tomorrow don’t we? Means Spurs get a days less rest re the ECL game against us I think

I think Spurs will play early on the Saturday whatever the result tomorrow. If Brighton go through their postponed game from today (Palace) will likely be played that weekend. If Brighton go out that game will move to the Saturday.

Edit I'm talking nonesense. If Brighton go through spurs play palace on the 3rd, if brighton go out they will play them on the 6th.

Yes, would agree with all of that

Could be 6, but will definitely be 4, community Shield, Spurs league, Carabao cup, FAC semi final, possible CL quarter, possible FAC final.

Of course its 4th trip for the team but likely the third for many of the 30,000 who'll go rather than the relatively few fans who had tickets in the "away" end at Wembley when we played Spurs

Right, ok. Wasn’t sure tbh, just thought I’d read on the ECL draw thread that it did def make a difference, but maybe not

Plus palace out, could be a bonus.

Not sure we'd sell 33,000 tickets for this tbh, with those prices its a lot to ask for a third trip to Wembley already this season

Every man and his dog should turn out, we will NEVER, be in this position again, the team and the owners deserve the support more than ever. Maybe because of the expense at the minute the club could lay on some travel, would be a great gesture
