Cup draw

gimmick

1 Newcastle United v Tottenham H or Nottingham F
2 Southampton or Brentford v Manchester United
3 Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal or Sheffield United
4 Burnley or Blackburn Rovers v Leicester City


Hopefully Newcastle, Southampton, Bolton and Burnley progress. Or even better if no premiership team gets to the semis, unlikely and all as that may be.

Good draw.....kept Arsenal, Utd and Newcastle away from each other....I want Newcastle to win it!!

Excellent.

utd must be favourites now, should get past southampton and then only arsenal/newcastle the only possible big boys. with a bit of luck we can avoid those 2 and hope they get knocked out along the way paving the way for an easy final like last year

trickey tie for arse should they get past sheffield which is another trickey game. bolton away is not a place you want to go for a cup game. probably along with man city the most unpredictable side in the league.

Ya seems like a nice draw for the bigger teams, there could possibly be a "smaller" team again in the final again this year

definately would prefer newcastle to any of the others.
hopefully will see burnley in the semi's

Overly confident? I'd have preferred if we'd got a home draw at least.

PHB

1 Newcastle United v Tottenham H or Nottingham F
2 Southampton or Brentford v Manchester United
3 Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal or Sheffield United
4 Burnley or Blackburn Rovers v Leicester City

Spurs are no walkover for Newcastle, no walkover at all, infact I think Spurs would be better off against Arsenal or Utd due to their CL commmitments.
Utd should walk it.
Arsenal should walk it.
Leicester will put up a hell of a fight against Blackburn/Burnley. I wouldn't put it past them to get through.

Perfect final:
Arsenal Utd of course
With Newcastle playing arsenal along the way, and losing.
Utd playing Leicster, and beating them (my friends a leicster fan)

Tricky draw for Arsenal, but if they want their trophy back they ought to earn it.

80-1 e/w on Burnley looks a decent bet too. A score draw against Blackburn and a win at home to Leicester and they're in the semi's.

A score draw against Blackburn?

I'd love to see Burnley do it!

Ah but we all know what happens when Blackburn are the under dogs in the final eh?


TBH Rovers will should beat Burnley and Leicester at home.
Then they are just 1 match from the final.

Be great to have a Spurs / Rovers rematch eh?

Persoally i just get abit sick of the hype around the big 3 and hope someone else gets the big day out!

i dont, the final last year was a bit of a joke. the spurs and newcastle match would of made a very good final i think.

other wise i would like to see arsenal united, or one of those and spurs or newcastle. i dont want bb or a division one team i nthe final against the others. BB might put up a fight, but there not the best team to watch.

I would be over the moon to see Newcastle win it , but if they don't id like Sheffield United to , robbed in the semis two years ago and I just like them for some reason .
