Semi-final draw: City v Arsenal 3pm Sunday confirmed
- Thread starter jrb
- Start date
What I meant was it looks like yet again the semi finals will clash with premier league games which is just stupid if the powers that be want to rekindle the 'magic of the cup'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 know
Whoever we get it's going to be a difficult game, and I'm sure some on here will claim it's fixed regardless of who we're drawn against!
Even though United are, on paper, the weakest team left in the competition I'm not sure I fancy the stress of playing them in a semi-final or final. I've only just about recovered from 2011.

Imagine this... United somehow beat Chelsea. Then the draw produces:
United vs City
Arsenal vs Tottenham
That would be something.
My preference would be Arsenal in the semis and United in the final.
My preference is for United to get absolutely humped tonight

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.
Pubs are for drinking beer mate not having it sprayed,spilt & thrown around by snorters !!
I'm torn, because they'll be much easier to beat in the semis than Chelsea.My preference is for United to get absolutely humped tonight

Yes I agree that FA Cup semi-finals diminish the aura of the final.
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
Beating the rags at Wembers was one of the best days of my life & one of the most important in our recent history.
It & the sick swan are deeply , damagingly ingrained in their physic.
It was our breakthrough day,it started the clock ticking,and they knew their days were numbered.
Fucking marvellous.

Yep. I would rather take our chances against a far superior Chelsea than have to play those scumbags

Wouldn't mind Spurs final to hopefully get revenge for '81.

Exactly. There's no way I want them to even have a sniff of a cup double. They'll never stfu.My preference is for United to get absolutely humped tonight
Arsenal in the semi and Chelski in the final is my hope.
