I’m more positive on this one than Boro. We have nothing to fear.

As we are playing Tuesday, when are we likely to play Chelsea?

Friday night or Saturday

I know it’s a conspiracy, but I think the FA Cup really helps to reinvent Manchester United because they are shit in the league and when that happens they seem to win the FA Cup. The draw gives them a piss easy chance of getting through to the next round whilst the likes of Chelsea play Aston Villa and Tottenham play Manchester City.  Getting rid of two of the better sides, poor old Manchester United have to slum it against the side from league two or thereabouts.

Nothing stopping Chelsea playing Tuesday & Friday - we had that with the Bradford home semi being followed by a Friday night trip to Millwall.
Sorry, that’s a week that should never have been brought up in these days of positive thinking.
Yes that’s possible and I hope TV insist on that. It’s a very tricky scheduling task due to a full PL programme on 30/31 Jan.

Chelsea is fine - they are struggling, nothing to fear at all. In fact, prefer that than another away tie against a plucky Championship side.

We'd have a chance of a lot more easier draws like Man Utd get if we didn't spend the best part of a decade shitting the bed at the first attempt, often against a side that was an easier draw.

It's nice to get a straightforward draw against a mid table side, though.
