FA Cup Semi Final - who do you fancy?

[oldblue]

Big mistake if West Ham think last weekend will have any bearing on this.
A decent ref keeping an eye on Payet's diving is crucial here though

Leicester could be the worst side to win the league since Blackburn Rovers, (we won the cup that year...)

 

[T LEAFE]

We haven't beaten West Ham in f a cup for 59 years

Great point. I doubt they'll want the prospect of Everton and United arriving in town on the Sunday.

So given the TV schedules will be decided before the outcome of the WH/ United tie, then that might dictate that we're on the Saturday. Last season was a 5.30 KO

Could easily be that BBC are just trying to be on top, and actually list the fixtures.

It makes a lot more sense for the higher profile game to be saturday (in terms of police presence), knowing full well that they'll all be at the Marathon the next day.

I'm just glad I haven't got to listen to them bell end palace 'ultras' from across Wembley .

Think it'll be against United for some reason.

a bit from there chairman lol,think more we gifted 3 points away in some style

Of the two I prefer Mr Gold. The other one (Sullivan) said their win at Goodison was sweet revenge for McCarthys tackle on Payet at Upton Park. Its an unnecessary comment from the chairman of a football club. Just say nothing and enjoy the victory.

Thats what I was thinking- didnt want them tbh. We've lost last 3 cup games against them. Then agn, they dont beat us in the league - rolls reversed?????

I'd love to rub a [Poor language removed] stained towel into David Gold's face

Just thought I would say that

Logic would tell you that our game (especially if its Man Utd) should be on the Saturday. But we played them on a Sunday in 2009. So who knows.

 

[bernie inn]

Utd will beat West Ham

What do you mean "worst" side?

 

[kithnou]

Utd will beat West Ham

Been thinking that all day.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Didn't matter who they put in front of us.
My water is rarely wrong

BTW why was Jenas doing the draw? And to have Pougatch (?) saying that he'd played in a lot of FA cup ties was having a laugh. Did he EVER play 2 games in a row?

It was Mark Chapman, not Pougatch.

I was more bothered by a celebrity chef helping to make the draw than Jenas.
