    Draw just made.

    Spurs V Burnley
    Derby V Manyoo

    Glad we avoided Manyoo. I think we've a better chance of beating them in a one-off game, like Chels in last year's final.

    Indeed:

    First legs played 6/7th Jan, 2nd legs played 20/21st.

    Most likely Spurs vs Burnley will be Tues the 6th as United play Southampton in the FA Cup the preceding Sunday, so Derby vs United to play 7th.

    Return legs will be reversed, not least because Spurs play Pompey on the preceding Sunday, so United game on Tuesday and Spurs on Wednesday.

    I might be wrong though.

    How unusual, a semi-final draw where the two biggest teams avoid each other.......again.

    Still, agree with OP that we have better chance against them in a one-off. Although we still have to get past Burnley, the punishers of teams from the capital !!!

    does anyone know will it be as hard as last year to get a ticket for the final if spurs get there. i had a nightmare trying to get one last season and was not prepared to pay the 700 sterling i was offered one for.

    Absolutely nailed on to be.

    I'd guess maybe the members LP total might drop slightly as last year was our first final since 2002, but that's about it. Would still be c. 100 LPs.

    Though it is premature....i'm relishing an opp to play the mancs in a big (at least to us) game. Gonna be a great night down the pub with all my Manc lovin mates if we won it would be epic. Better than beating Chelski in my opinion.

    I'd really prefer if this talk of finals was left until we've actually seen off Burnley...:confused:
