As it will be on bt or bbc don't think sky games have any relevance ... last year was 5.15 on Saturday and 4.00 on Sunday and would've thought it will be same this year though got caught out with league cup final early kick off so never knowLooks like Sky have a game live at 2.15 and 4.30 on the Sunday so it will be interesting what time the Sunday game kicks off. Could really do with a Saturday lunchtime game rather than late evening.
Who do you want to win tonight? Chelsea or Utd? I am not that bothered but looking forward to the game.
I know there are reports that all Utd's forwards have suddenly gone down with mystery illnesses or injury despite Mourinho claiming that Utd were too big a club to play a weakened team in the FA Cup. If Mourinho has bottled it, it would be hilarious but it does make a bit of sense. Champions League qualification is all important for Utd and they still have a chance through the League and Europa League of qualifying. It might be a tactical retreat.
I hope City fans are not getting so arrogant that the FA Cup semi-final is now regarded with ambivalence. It's not so exciting when you've been to Wembley about 10 times in about 8 years, or whatever it is exactly, but it's still one of the biggest days of the footballing calendar.

Bollocks. I've really enjoyed the Green Man every time we've had it.
I'm basically teetotal so can't get excited about any pub but on a dry sunny day the atmosphere at the Green Man can be very good. My regular parking spot is close by the Green Man so I hope that is our pub again, regardless of whether I venture in or not.
I hate the Rags with a passion so last week I watched the semi when we won 1-0 - their end was vacated faster than a Usain Bolt world record.
We won the final and later we played the Rags in the Charity Shield - leading 2-0 then disaster Rags won 3-2.
This spoilt my week , my life even. So , not realising I had recorded this match on my HDD - i deleted it last week as fast as ' the proverbial off a shovel'
Unfortunately , I have been conditioned over the years never to write the f*ckin' Rags off. - so I wish , with passion , Chavs win 4-0.
BBC and MUEN will be showing replays of Rags '' Class of '92' for months.

If it's on the Saturday will Wealdstone still have us? They are at home that day.

I don't think any of the games would be easy but they won't want to face us as we can beat anyone on our day.
Spurs are not as good away from the Lane and have been dire at Wembley. I think our collective experience would really help us against them.
Arsenal on a good day are a good side but can be bullied and we are the team to do that. Tricky game that one though for me. Used to big games, won the final twice in last 3 years. Wengers last hurrah etc. Good for
Us is that they dont defend well and can't park the bus.
Chelsea are a good side but I think we could beat them on a big pitch and owe them one. 50/50 that one would be I reckon.
Rags are one I don't want as it's just a shit hostile atmosphere and They would no doubt play like Stoke did the other night with the intention of doing better on the break. Hopefully Chelsea will beat them.
Pretty good summing up. Shittest draw would be the Rags so that's what I am expecting.
Lucky Arsenal are the last team to beat us in an FAC semi so if omens are your thing, they'd be best avoided at this stage.
Quite simply, winning the FAC will be tough for any of the sides left but someone has to win it and it's about time we made amends for Wigan.

Footballing point of view I want united to win, for the fact I hate them I want them to get twatted! Couldn't think of anything worse than losing to them at Wembley though.
I don't think its arrogance, it is frustration at having to mooch to Wembley for a semi just to line the FAs pockets. Its a great game but massively at the wrong venue.

Still covering the costs of the wembley build unfortunately.
Will stop I reckon when NFL are playing more regularly at Wembley
Yes I agree that FA Cup semi-finals diminish the aura of the final.Footballing point of view I want united to win, for the fact I hate them I want them to get twatted! Couldn't think of anything worse than losing to them at Wembley though.

Beating Utd at Wembley was one of my best memories. The tension that day was incredible but the whole day rests on winning and from that point of view, Utd would be easier opponents than Chelsea. Pluses and minuses to it. I quite like the idea of an FA Cup Final v Man Utd but I think Chelsea are going to beat them even if it's a narrow game. Utd should be difficult to beat
