Arse in the semi and if we win, Chavs in the Final. Don't want to meet the Spuds at all, 1981 and all that!

Can't wait for this. Train down followed by an overnight stop in London, two days on the piss. Will do the same for the final.

You're right of course, the 2011 semi final was one of the most emotional football matches I've ever attended.
But the atmosphere around the ground before and after the game (and at the motorway service stations there and back) was absolutely poisonous.
I want them out tonight.
I'm with you, that semi final was ruined for me when a group of rags tried to grab my bag and I had to be rescued by two policewomen who grabbed one each and told me to get on my way as quickly as possible.
Since then I've booked into an hotel opposite Wembley for the weekend rather than stay with my friends and risk travelling on the tube!!
I enjoyed it tbh. Depends on your disposition. had we got beat though it would have been terrible. It's Derby Day magnified by 2 or more.You're right of course, the 2011 semi final was one of the most emotional football matches I've ever attended.

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.
The thing with playing them is that for me they will know they are the weakest footballing team left but they are more organised now and so would set up very negatively with the aim of hitting us on the break. If we had an off day like against Stoke then they could sneak a win. Id prefer to avoid them as I can't relax watching any Derby so would prefer one of the others as would enjoy the day more. I hope they get beat tonight.
As many have said 2011 was one of best matches. I was spat at 10 times walking up Wembley Way Made it all the better beating them. They hated getting beat that day.
Why not give them another horrific day to remember and one for us to celebrate. I would love that day over again. A risk of course. Still what is life about.
Either way cannot see them beating cheslski at the Bridge with no known striker.
In this order I would take
Aresenal
Utd
Spurs
Chelsea

that was one of the best games I've ever been to. every one around me seemed to be drunk aha. the noise we made that day was something else. ill always remember not seeing any unitedd coaches from manchester and the only ones i saw were from wolverhampton and birmingham aha. i might get the train this time though as the coach is a pain i nthe arse.

Agree about the Rags.
Spurs might be the only team that doesn't try and play us on the break.

I think Spurs would be the easiest draw especially if Kane is injured.
Be a lot more difficult to press on the big wembley pitch as they have discovered in the Champs League. Which is in contrast to Arsenal who suit big pitches because of there tecnically gifted players and Chelsea who would defend deep and be even more dangerous on the break due to the additional space.
As for United trying not to think about it but think they will win tonight and we will face them at some point.
