FA Cup 6th round - home to Olbiyun

Doesnt matter who you draw if it is your year. Dare we dream?

[Villa Lew]

As we're playing them on the Tuesday before the weekend of the 6th round, odds are we're going to draw Albion.

As long as we're at home, I don't fear anybody, in fact I would prefer Arsenal, Liverpool or The Plastics now rather than at Wembley.

Playing one of them in the Quarter-Finals doesn't guarantee we wouldn't then have to play one or both of the others at Wembley if we win the cup though.

Realistically, we'll probably have to beat at least one of them which would be unlikely, but not impossible. If we have to play two the odds go from unlikely to extremely slim and if we have to play all three our chances of winning the cup are virtually zero.

So... avoid them for as long as possible in the hope we don't have to play all three.

... Then we got done by the Chelsea rentboys and the ref at Wembley in the Semi-Final, some joke decisions that day.

You mean like this cheeky little tap from Terry?

That was so late it's not in time for this year's semi-final.

Hodgson will draw Blackburn, Boggies and Redcouse at home - guaranteed

Nah, that's superstitious nonsense.  If we draw Arsenal or Man U away, we are 90% likely to get knocked out of the Cup; and maybe 80% if we draw them at home.  Away draws against Liverpool and West Brom on current form wouldn't favour us either.

Our best chance is to draw one of the lower league teams in the quarters and another in the semis, then take our chances in the final against presumably Arsenal, Man U or Liverpool.

As a one-off, we might rise to the occasion and knock out one of the "Big 3"; but there's very little chance that we'd be able to beat them one after the other and take the trophy, as great as that would be.

[Holte L2]

I would like a home game against Reading or Blackburn that would do me.

Me too mate.  I've got a feeling we're not that lucky.

[MONCABA]

Another home draw will do for me. If thats the outcome, I don't care who we're drawn against .

Point taken, Mr Logic.

Still makes me think how the f**k he didn't do Milner really serious damage.

[Jimbo]

We're due some luck in the cups. Sinclair's goal was a bit lucky, the way the keeper insisted it go in the net. Some more of that, please. Still, it will take a helluva lotta luck to win the cup itself. The media have already decided it's Stevie G's cup, and I wouldn't go trusting any ref if we came up against them in the semi or final. Best get any of the big guns out the way asap.

[Legion]

That really is quite a nasty challenge.

[London Villan]

I'd forgotten how bad that was...  was he even booked?

[D.boy]

That is a shocking tackle (term used very loosely).
