Lol much like every single group draw for the champions league his team gets. The man is vermin sooner he goes the better.
 
Made me laugh this. What a tw@t he is. When other teams get easy draws it's not okay, but when the rags play teams in the CL group stages from God knows where he keeps quiet. Like the poster above me said, the sooner he goes the better. I'm so sick of seeing his face and listening to his bullshit almost on a daily basis..

but..... but...... the rag medja holds this ''knight of the realm'' up as someone to look up to lol......
 
Easy draws? Among other soft draws in recent seasons the rags have got 3 non-league teams - Exeter, Crawley and Burton - the first two at home as well. They actually needed replays to get past Exeter and Burton but 2 years ago thrashed Crawley (surely the softest ever 5th round draw) 1-0. They came a cropper the season before though when in the 3rd round they got 3rd tier Leeds at home but lost 0-1.
 
According to BBC local (North West) news sports round up on the tea time programme Blackpool got a last minute winner against Palace, and Blackburn got thumped 3-0 by Cardiff in Bank Holiday monday games.
No mention of a FA Cup quarter final result, but thereagain not many Rags would be watching a local North West TV programme.

Whilst it can be said that they often get the easier ride in the CL, mainly due to seeding system, Fergie has actually got a point in his little rant about how Chelsea's success in the last 6 years can be largely down to favourable draws.

Not including the Semi Finals or the Finals themselves (as Fergie said it was the earlier rounds where Chelsea have tended to benefit), Chelsea have played the following teams:

2007/08 - QPR (H), Wigan (A), Huddersfield (H), Barnsley (A)
2008/09 - Southend (H), Ipswich (H), Watford (A), Coventry (A)
2009/10 - Watford (H), Preston (A), Cardiff (H), Stoke (H)
2010/11 - Ipswich (H), Everton (H)
2011/12 - Portsmouth (H), QPR (A), Birmingham (A), Leicester (H)
2012/13 - Southampton (A), Brentford (A), Middlesbrough (A), Man United (H)

Out of 22 FA Cup draws, only 5 have been against Premier League opposition, of which 1 was against a "Top 4" side, which was Man United on Monday.
You have to agree, 17 out of 22 Fa Cup draws since the 07/08 season against teams outside the top flight is a remarkably fortunate run.

As for United:

2007/08 - Aston Villa (A), Tottenham (H), Arsenal (H), Portsmouth (H)
2008/09 - Southampton (A), Tottenham (H), Derby (A), Fulham (A)
2009/10 - Leeds (H)
2010/11 - Liverpool (H), Southampton (A), Crawley (H), Arsenal (H)
2011/12 - Man City (A), Liverpool (H)
2012/13 - West Ham (H), Fulham (H), Reading (H), Chelsea (A)

Out of 19 FA Cup draws, 14 of those have been against Premier League opposition, of which 8 of those have been against the likes of Tottenham x2, Arsenal x2, Liverpool x2, Man City & Chelsea.
You have to agree, 5 out of 19 Fa Cup draws since the 07/08 season against teams outside the top flight is a hardly an example of "luck of the draw".

Chelsea have largely benefitted from fortunate draws in recent seasons, without doubt.
