FA Cup Semi Final - who do you fancy?

[BirkenheadBlue]

Well let's be honest, that draw was about as predictable as it gets

Not happy with the draw, but we can do it, and if we do then we'll have an easier final (at least on paper). COYB!

Nailed on that the M6 has just been ordered to be dug up (more) that weekend and that essential engineering will be needed for the mainline north.

Well just to confirm for you here.....

You are 100% right.

Engineering works from 21:30 on the Saturday and all day Sunday between Crewe and Stafford. 'Slight delays' expected.

Logic would suggest seeing as both Manchester and Liverpool routes go via Crewe, that any delays or cancellations, would be avoided with a Saturday KO.

You are joking?

Typical draw.. but looking at it we would of probably

we can do this ! COYB

I like the fact that if we win the cup, we'll have played some difficult teams to win it. Shut up the narrative on here that "we'd fall apart once we met some decent opposition." If we win (and I realize that it is a HUGE if), we won't be accused of jamming our way to a cup.

Who did Liverpool get? ... Oh Yeah, Nobody as they are out.... and they are giving us stick. Get back in the sewer ya rats.

Happy.rather have the so called tougher team in semis.
Plus if we get to final,we would surely be favourites for once....

 

[barneygumble]

You are joking?

Although, they will be running a 5:50am train from lime street, for the Marathon.

 

[helpimonfire]

I want Man Utd so we can get people to video the RS cheering the mancs on lol.

 

[LAToffee]

How dare anybody fume over thst draw, it could well of been Arsenal in it.

Fume. It's what we do.

 

[AndyC]

Whichever day it is and the road/rail nightmares we have to endure, we need the same kind of atmosphere as the 2009 semi or better to see the boys through to the final we all crave.
COYB !!

 

[orly]

Love that draw
SNIFF IT

Happy with that. Watford final. Job needs doing in semi then great day out

Watford are good you know. The only team I'm confident of beating out of those three are Palace. Hopefully, we have two difficult games ahead of us.
