FA Cup Semi Final - who do you fancy?

[BoysInBlue]

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

Harsh that. They're a decent side with good players and a great manager. They deserve to win the league.

Two things for sure are......... we ain't getting relegated.............. and ..... Bobby knows how to beat the best of the best in an FA Cup final.

You'll get to hear tthem in the final.

Watford are the better side I think .

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.

The only thing I'd say to that is that last time the Marathon wasn't taking place on the same day.

I'm fully expecting a Saturday 12:45 kick off.

Utd will win for me and set up a dream semi.

Great post.

It was Mark Chapman, not Pougatch.

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

Only switched on as they were about to make the draw. Assumed it was Pougatch as they are all a bit identikit but Bloomingheck drawing balls was a bit weird. Must be making a cooking show for the beeb I suppose

Yes, but with no time scale for United-West Ham replay, they cannot assume anything I guess. United would probably be in their ear trying to get an extra 24 hours incase of a potential Europa League Semi on the Thursday (using coefficient to their advantage I'd guess).

There are so many reasons why it SHOULD be on the Saturday, that it won't be.

Dare BBC clash with Gary's beloved Leicester and show our game on the Sunday? Or do they Maximise their own viewing figures and go for the 12:45 or 5:30 slot which Sky and BT will not be using that weekend.

totally - but there's no denying this leicester squad will be the weakest to ever win the prem - i can't comment on anything before then.

They'll probably wait to see what happens this Thursday with Uniteds Europa League game. If they go out it makes planning the replay date easier and opens up a Saturday semi final. If they go through it will cause a headache (fixture wise).

For legal reasons?

We could be playing west ham united in an fa cup semi final to play either Watford or Palace in the final.

Pinch me.

 

[T LEAFE]

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?????

We have lost the last 5 f a cup games to them

 

[scratchnsurf]

You are joking?

The M4 will be clear though.
