FA Cup Semi-Final Draw

[Beefymcfc]

Come on then, who do you want?

Rags

Chavs

Pie-Eaters

Lions

Rovers

[Mase]

Rovers. Then at least I'll definitely be able to get a ticket.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Chelsea.

[Beefymcfc]

I wouldn't like to see the Rags get through and we have a re-run of the semi. The FA will do everything in their power to ensure the Rags get to the final, just to put right what a little Turkish bloke (and UEFA) done wrong. This is Taggart's year, don't you forget it.

40% chance of carnage on the streets of London
Nice day out with Wiggin for me

[Moonchesteri]

Chelsea.

Actually, that's my favourite draw too.

[Mark Garrett]

I hope Chelsea beat Utd and then we play them in the Semi-Final. Followed by Wigan in the final.

If we have to play Utd at some stage, then I would prefer it to be in a semi-final. Would be a really gut-wrenching day to lose a cup final to United and see them lift a trophy.

I am guessing tickets-wise, both teams will get about 35,000 each for the Semi-Final - same as last time with the other 20,000 going to corporates, Club Wembley members, Football family etc.

The NZZ in Zürich this morning had a report about the ref from last wednesday and how he is a stickler for fair play. His father was also a ref and he is a business man with good academic qualifications ( ref not his dad) . A person not shaken by pressure, was the implication. On a turkish website apparently almost 60 % of those answering the poll thought he got the red card correct. Even Collini came up on his side.
The reporter is a blatant Red fan here in Zuri, and crapped on about the Media anger with the ref.

The reporter didn't point out how the Media did a witch hunt against Balo two years ago for a similar Red card at the Etihad though.

It's clear double standards mate and all geared towards the Rags (afterall, they are the biggest brand in the world). Without Blue-tints on, I automatically said that Nani was off and the replay confirmed it. Some will say that he was trying to bring the ball down from the air but why did he have to do that? Because he knew the player was coming in so therefore it was dangerous play, especially as he took the player out as well.

The problem every team has now is that every call made against the Rags will be put down as a disgrace and we'll continually be referred back to what the English media judged to be 'A Travesty'. They'll get away with 'Blue' murder yet all their competitors will be punished. The only way to beat them now will be to play them off the park against 12 men, if it wasn't already like that before.

I'm hoping and praying for a Chelsea win with something like what happened at Goodison yesterday. Hopefully someone will hear my prayers before Red Webb gets his cards out or Phil Dowd gets chance to stick the 20 minutes extra-time up.

If we get either of these championship sides in the semi we're gonna have them for breakfast at Wembley.
I see I'm somehow rooting for Millwall here btw
