Does anybody believe we're going to beat Man City?

Not a fucking chance, i'm sorry.

We'll do them after a replay.

There's something not right about the 6th round draw being known 10 days before we play the 5th.

If we go to a replay with City is it possible that with their Europa commitments the Semi draw will have been made by the time we play them in the second game?

Mancini will field a very strong team against us. The FA cup final is a couple of games away so is the closest they are to getting a trophy (which they are desperate for). They are out of the prem title race and have several rounds to go in UEFA cup.
I still hope we win at Eastlands.



Or he'll be concentrating on getting into the Champions League.

A replay is the only remote chance we have.

You're also right about the fixtures themselves. Pathetic.

Its a Villa / Arsenal final, ...City 0 Villa 2

Its is written. Bet your house on it.
If I do, and we don't, can I come and live with you - or is your house on it as well?

A home quarter final cup draw for the first time since god knows when - and we might not be in it. Typical!

I think we should just do the draw for the semi and final now, that way we can all hypothesise about every other round that we may not get to.   They should've waited until after our 5th round tie before doing this draw.

We've got to end our poor record up there at some point. Here's hoping it starts in the 5th round.

Its going to be very tough and GH will also have one eye on Bolton away 3 days after Ci£eh which is arguably the more important of the two games

Agreed. Under Houllier we are a disorganised rabble, and it's inevitable that we'll lose this one.

Would like to get to Wemberlee and play Newton Heath again to get revenge for last year. Would be nice for Vidic to get sent off in the first 5 mins as he should have been last year.

Tripe.

We've improved since the New Year and have only lost 1 in 8 including a win against Man City and a draw at Chelsea. They've favourites but to claim it is inevitable is just lilly livered defeatism of the worst kind.

It may actually be to our advantage that Bent is ineligible for this.  We will need 11 players all working their socks off all over the park to win and Darren, although a top striker, is sometimes a bit of a luxury player and completely nullified when we fail to get him service.  I imagine he'll play Heskey and try to link the play a bit more than if DB was available.

If we do get through then I would fancy our chances against Everton or Reading, it isn't a bad draw..........potentially.
