Semi-final draw: City v Arsenal 3pm Sunday confirmed

[MarsLlama]

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.

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

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'

 

[Ric]

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.

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.

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

 

[colorado blue]

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.

Arsenal in the semi and Chelski in the final is my hope.

 

[blue cigar]

Gonna be a great day whoever it is,all southern based teams left and all equally difficult/winnable. I fancy Spurs in the semi and cant wait to see Leroy let loose on the wide open spaces of wembley. Dont want yernytid anywhere near this and they are definately the weakest team left even at full strength.

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.

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

About time we put Spurs to the sword.

 

[Chris in London]

We are the best team of the five left in the competition - given a competent ref and a level playing field, we should beat whoever we face.

But for me personally, there would be something very satisfying about beating Tottenham in the semi and Chelsea in the final.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

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

I'd imagine they'll invite us with open arms either day as usual.

I agree. I also don't want some of our players out for the rest of the season with a fractured cheekbone

They didn't like it back though at the Charity Shield did they.

Fucking chickens.

Nothings guaranteed in a semi or a final, want the twats out, I could just about take losing to the rest (though spurs would stick in my throat) but any chance at this stage we could lose to them at wembley is unthinkable and horrible.

also they were a shower of ****s last time

 

[Big Ernst]

I fully expect us to play Arsenal or Chelsea in the Semi's on the Sunday when it clashes with the Larn-darn Marathon, then it'll be absolute carnage coming home on the train...

Best get your seats booked....
