Oh come on. - this is a formality! We have already won the cup 2016, the other clubs must know the best they can hope for is the shoreline at the kick off. After that we will just batter all comers. Waste of a thread space really!
 
I hope we draw West Ham or Utd, we would be favorites against the other 2 and might take our eye off the ball. Palace scare me actually I just have visions of Bolasie giving Seamus the run around, we don't fare well against counter attacking teams.

Because they only like writing about Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and the RS. It's been tough for them to keep finding subjects for articles.

The BBC comment this morning was on how "it went wrong" for Chelsea, not about how Everton bossed them.

I think the idea that the media are finding it tough to write articles on one of the most exciting, unpredictable and hugely unlikely title races of all time is rather hard to believe.
People aren't buying less newspapers because Leicester are top of the league, and advertisers aren't dropping out either. It really isn't happening.
Newspapers will often concentrate on the 'biggest' teams of course, as they have the most fans/generate the most interest.

There is no big media conspiracy that want Leicester to blow the league, or want us to fail in the F.A cup. It simply isn't true.
 
Looking at the semi final line up I actually think that any one of those teams except for Utd could have a blinder on the day at Wembley.
I don,t see any easy match ups and everyone is in with a shout.
I hope that Lennon and Del both play together somehow because that have the potential to destroy teams down the wings.
 
Villa showed the RS last season just what can happen when you start prematurely planning for the Final

We're capable of beating any of the remaining sides at Wembley, but anything can happen on the day.

A Watford or Palace might be more likely to freeze, than a side with the experience of United.

West Ham are a one man team, but with Payet they've got a player who is capable of turning a game with one moment of brilliance.

Whoever we draw it's going to be a great day down at Wembley, can't wait!
 
About avoiding WH/United tonight - one of the other two would be fantastic.

Having said that we haven't beaten any of these sides in the league this year so they'll fancy it as much as us.
 
People talking about the final already?! This over confidence scares me.

Anything can happen. For example Wigan beating Man City in the 2013 final. I'm sure City fans that day were extremely confident and thought the trophy was already bagged before a ball had even been kicked. Anything can happen on the day, as we know more than anyone. This season has been a season full of upsets and it doesn't seem to stop.

We need to treat every single team with respect, play like we know we can and be up for the occasion.

**Turns off sensible head**

Stuff that, bring on anyone and we'll smash them! Get our name on the trophy now ... COYB!!
