FA Cup semi-final - vs Liverpool Sunday 3pm

[AV82EC]

Chelsea v Man U is on Sat 18th at 5.30. Could mean that the Saturday Semi kicks off at lunchtime?

Shouldn't be a problem for Arsenal v Reading.

The semi final draw is being made by Dermot O'Leary. Magic of the cup.

This is what I thought! BBC taking the p*** again!

We may despise his guts but at least David O'Leary had a very long association with Arsenal and that included an FA Cup win. He was also present at OT last night.
Not being funny but surely that would have  been a more appropriate option?

Cant see us being on the Saturday.

Blues and baggies are playing in london on the same day.  Easier for us to play on the sunday instead of moving them pair

Why would they have to be moved? It has been known for us and them to be in the same city before with no problems.

Plus London is a rather big city as I understand it.

I think the obvious thing to look at wouldn't be problems in London, it'd be problems in the getting to London bit.

Mind you, I doubt Blues will be taking more than about 300 whoever they play down there, so it should be ok.

Sorry yeah thats what i was getting at.  The traveling to London as apposed to bumping into them whilst we was there.

Working on the assumption it is Liverpool, lets get past the" Invincible Liverpool" myth that they have traded on for years, 1 - Were playing them at a neutral venue, rather than "Fortress Anfield" - another myth incidentally. 2 - we`ve beaten them on several occasions over the last few years, they have NOTHING over us - unlike Yanited. and 3 - they are nowhere near as good as they like too talk themselves up to be, remember they got shown up completely in Europe. Its down to us and no-one else. Lets kick arse.

It happens all the time. Anyway, whatever day we play there will be our supporters travelling throughout the weekend.

I think you are all missing the point

Rather like the BBC headline about the draw last night, I'm just mightly relieved that Arsenal and the Bindippers have been kept apart

[exigo]

Last ten games versus Blackburn.
W7 D1 L2

Last ten games versus Liverpool.
W3 D2 L5

Whoever we get, we'll have a good chance.

[OCD]

30% is a good chance? I would much rather have a 70% chance.

A team who've been in the top four for most of that time have failed to beat us in half our matches. Now they've lost Bitey, and we're bouncing back, we'll give it one hell of a go. So yes, I'd say we've got a good chance against either team.

Its 50/50 going into the penalties, which themselves are 50/50.
