That will never happen, they will always keep the Big Boys apart. We will get Man Utd in the semi's if we beat Wigan and Spurs v Chelsea if all goes to plan. United will get the weakest opposition to boost interest in the final
May happen, but only by chance. If you remember, we had a nice run to the FA Cup Final in the Strachan era because the big sides drew each other.
From our time in L1 we had a lovely run of home draws over three seasons, so I never complain anymore.
Buzzing for this... I'll get about 4 hours sleep after a 16 hour shift Paddy's Day but I think it will all be worth it!
That was fifteen years ago, things have changed and media ratings are very important. All I'll say is beware of warm balls!!!
But Man Utd are playing Brighton. So what exactly is your conspiracy theory here? If Man Utd win we will play them, if Brighton win, what!?
Remember we should be playing Man City, bloody Wigan messed up the schedule for a City v United final
Yes, I see that. But still, should Brighton win, who are we going to get? I don’t know about the powers that be but the general public love a David and Goliath final.
Its a very long reach to argue that the best, most expensively assembled teams in the League, currently all in the top 5 of the league are in the quarter finals of the FA cup because of favourable draws engineered using warm balls. Warm balls seems right but its got nothing to do with the draws
Oh bollocks. Missed this news. We've sacked Sparky already? Sparky will light our fire (in a Doors in yer face way).
Like in 1976 where a middling 2nd Div team was drawn against an OK 3rd Div club, while two title contenders were drawn together in the other game? Still, it made predicting the score in the final easy. 6-0 you reckoned, didn't you Sir Bobby?!
Hold your head up, lad, and sound positive. Doesn't matter what you think....just looking a winner will do.
I think Bob Wilson predicted pretty much the same, if not higher than 6-0, which made it oh so sweet when we saw him walking past our traffic jammed coach, with his head down, studiously ignoring the fans banging on the windows in an attempt to get his attention.
