Only six prem teams, and only two outside the top 4. Now if they all drew each other it could get interesting.

united are due a break in these draws, we always seem to get tough ones. our last 10 games in the fa cup, have been against premiership teams. i have a feeling that 2 of the top teams will be drawn against each other. heres hoping its liverpool v chelsea, they always get easy draws, especially chelsea:D

Its true that United are due a break in tomorrows' draw and with just 5 other Premier League teams left, they should get one. In fact, the odds say that the big four should all avoid each other, with 12 other teams still in the draw. But realistically anyone would settle for a home draw and outside the big 4 I'm sure nobody wants to end up travelling down to Portsmouth especially since they should have their African players back by then.

After Luton and Havant & Waterlooville, Liverpool are due a tough match and like you say, seeing them facing Chelsea or Arsenal would be sweet

Are you not happy enough with years of handy CL games?

Portsmouth are terrible at home!

United always get a stupid run in terms of difficulty, ideal would be a championship side at home an 2 of the big 4 getting each other to knock one out.

Perhaps you get this by being a seeded team and winning your group

who is talking about champions league? did i mention champions league? and while u do mention it, what the f**k are u on about? handy draws for united? we have been knocked out by Milan (2), Madrid (2), porto, leverkusen and bayern in 7 of the last 8 years. now, i may be slightly off here, but i think most of them either won it out, or got to the final the year we played them. so tell me again, how do we get handy draws? also, we got the hardest possible draw we could have got this year.take a look at your own stats mate and above all else, keep your remarks for champions league threads, not fa cup thread.

In one way that is true, Liverpool and Portsmouth are the home draw specialists of the Premier League, both having drawn over half(6) of the home league games they've played this season, but with the big 4 still involved in Europe, they won't want a replay and so being drawn away to Portmouth is a matchup you'd prefer to avoid.

United have gotten some piss easy groups though it's hardly their fault they are seeded every year.

OPENROAD

Bristol Rovers at the Emirates would be nice.

Jonny Arson

Arsenal vs Chelsea
Manchester United vs Liverpool
Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough
Bristol Rovers vs Huddersfield
Barnsley vs Cardiff City
Coventry City vs Preston NE
Sheffield United vs Southampton
West Brom vs Wolves

is my ideal draw

last time anyone outside the 'Big 4' was in 1995

hopefully that will change by Bristol Rovers winning it this year

dsmythy

I have a feeling Man Utd will get Southampton away and draw with them 1-1. The old bogey team coming back to get them. Also Sheffield United traveling to the Emirates and getting hammered 5-0. Preston to play West Brom away losing 3-1 to them.


I reckon three out of three brilliant predictions on this one

In fairness it's hard to avoid crap teams in the later stages, simply becaus ethere arent any, but the group stages is another thing altogether.As above, i was jokinggly refering to handy groups and brought up the cl in a "you cant expect a handy ride in every comp" joking way. Your not on the pitch now, no need to be hoofing people out of it here

Anyway, I take it backm a handy draw did you no good in the Carling cup.

Thats awful specific. May as well finish the draw. Actually skip to theend and tell me whether I should bother watchign anymore of the competition.

Depends, are you a Chelsea fan?

Actually should of added that one of the League One teams are bound to have to travel to Stamford Bridge so Shevchenko can score against them.

Sometimes you just get a feeling two teams are going to get drawn together. Sort of like at the semi-final stage when the two big teams are kept apart once again and so meet in the final instead.

I'm hoping we can put them out of both cups at the semi final stage I'm getting to like playing them in the final few weeks of the season. It's a pity we cant organise our league games for late April /early May every year.:)

Dont suppose that stretches to other draws with numbered balls?

Burn baby burn

Qs

As a Gooner I'd take any home draw. In fact I'd love United at the Emirates.

PHB

I'd say the way our draws are going this year, we'll get on of the big 4 away.

Coventry at OT a hard draw?

I wouldnt mind us getting Cardiff again so Robbie can have another day out at Anfield. Either them or Chelsea at Anfield

PHB

League cup is a competition for United youngsters, so actually Coventry is a relatively tough draw

Villa, Spurs and Lyon is pretty ****ty, especially after we got a pretty tough CL group aswell.

Mr Alan

Utd, Home or Away please.

herbieflowers

Pool, Home or Away please.

Mr Alan

bring it on bitch

Melion

Half the people that post here would be banned if there was another match between pool and united so soon.

herbieflowers

maybe the last thread could be resurrected and any mnetion of Premiership or league be changed to FA Cup etc...it'll save time anyway, though I'm sure most fans of both live for these threads!

Mr Alan

i reckon, i'd have to accept my first banning if we met in the Cup and lost.

we wouldnt lose though, so it dont matter.

herbieflowers

on another note, it's greaty that there's only 6 Prem teams left in the draw!

redzerdrog

is the draw on tele?? what time? channel?

1.25 on SSN and BBC2

PHB

I can't understand why people would want to play Liverpool or United, just another tough game in a long hard season benefits nobody. Top 4 to get to the semi finals unless drawn against each other. Portsmouth and Boro don't have it really in them to threaten any of the big 4, the teams that could like Spurs, Everton or City have been knocked out.

Mr Alan

Understand that PHB, but just want the game so we can get the satisfaction of knocking ye out again

My God if we win the cup this year we will really have earned it, another very tough draw! Looking forward to it though.

Warm balls.

Lol... Pompey For The Cup!

PHB

For crying out loud, jesus if we actually manage to win the treble this year, it'll be a greater achievement than last time.

The following teams
Three of these teams are going to be in the 6th round, Bristol Rovers, Southampton,
Cardiff City, Wolves, Coventry City, West Brom
while one of Arsenal and United won't be. Nuts!

At least it's at home, cause that can make a difference in these games I think.

Can anyone honestly remember the last time we didnt draw a premier league team in the fa cup. Im beginning to seriously think its rigged.

Off to the conspiracy theories forum..........

mike65

PHB Its not nuts its the luck of the draw. Thats whats so good about the cup and this year in particular.

Mike.

PHB

It's 9 premiership teams in a row!
It's nuts in terms of probabilities!

Nunu

Disaster for Utd and Arsenal with Champions league on the following midweek.

I'm sure we were going to rest players in the 5th round and probably still will...Utd have Lyon a few days later and Asenal have Milan.
