Oh well, maybe next year.

[shurlock]

Dog**** Worst possible tie.

[John B]

As it says

 

Well not what I was hoping for Man City Away

[Saint IQ]

****s sake! Thanks a lot Owen. Worst possible draw.

[bazza]

Worst possible tie.

 

^This.

[aintforever]

Well that’s a distraction we didn’t ****ing need.

[Dalek2003]

Come on Wigan.

[whelk]

C’mon Wigan

[Whitey Grandad]

****s sake! Thanks a lot Owen. Worst possible draw.

 

Wigan away? What’s not to like

[Saint IQ]

Man City Spurs Man Utd Chelsea in the Semis then

[Maggie May]

Tbf I don't think we would've beaten any of the Prem teams left in it.

[nta786]

well the worst possible tie ffs- unless Wigan can pull of the miracle that we certainly won't.

 

then again, maybe pellegrino will set them out to defend in numbers, we contain them and then as there is NO replay, we beat them on penalties.

[Saint Albert]

That’s a bit of a mood killer...

[davefoggy]

I said it last time, I will say it again, FIXED

[OldNick]

Man City Spurs Man Utd Chelsea in the Semis then

just what the FA want

[Bad Wolf]

Why is this such a bad draw? I swear some people just have negative comments typed out before it happens and were going to post it regardless.

[Batman]

that draw was perfect for the FA

 

how convenient

[beatlesaint]

On the plus side by the time we go to Swansea for the rearranged league match they might be safe and not care :-D

[Pamplemousse]

Very convenient draw for BT Sport, who were the ones doing the draw... makes you wonder.

we are away to one of the best sides in world football.

 

That will be that

[Shandy_Top_89]

4 of the Top 6 in the quarter finals and they all miraculously avoid each other. Just like in the League Cup Quarter Final draw.

 

Good thing someone remembered to switch on the ball heater eh FA .

[alehouseboys]

May 1st 1976 was a tougher ask.

[OldNick]

I recall an expro saying a few years back, you can fix a draw by heating some of the balls. I don’t believe it is a fix , just one of those things.

anyway who would trust Owen to get anything right, dull as ditchwater and one of the reasons I won’t get BT sport

[DT]

At least we can concentrate on staying up

Fair old effort and cover up required for very little gain - a few more viewing figures on the semis. Hey you never know it might just be random.

That’s still only a possibility until Monday night...... Wigan seem to have used the FA cup to let their hair down this season as a welcome distraction away from getting out of league one

Not like you not to be optimistic

Tbh they made it look very natural. And Michael Owen isn't bright enough

I have to admit the big guns have had remarkable luck in avoiding each other, round after round.

we just rolled over against Liverpool and today, allowed WBA to have 20+ shots

 

I think a valiant effort in the cup ends at City

also funny the same thing happened in the league cup too! glad bristol city shat on that parade tho when they beat United.

 

let's pray that can be us when we beat City.

 

It would also be very rewarding if we were to win this and be the ones stopping City from winning another trophy.

That’s why they had shay given drawing second

[Lord Duckhunter]

May 1st 1976 was a tougher ask.

 

Even if we somehow beat city , chances are it'll be Chelsea, Utd or Spurs in the semis. Needed the big 4 to meet each other or at least 2 of them to open up the other half of the draw. Absolutely no ****ing chance of anyone outside those 4 winning it now.

Wigan will absolutely smash them on Monday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then go on to beat us.

[John B]

No it was not

 

We are away to Man City probably one of the best PL team ever

 

We are dross in comparison

[Whitey Grandad]

No replay?

[Micky]

Decent draw, good away day, looking forward to it.

nope- it was from last season they removed replays for the quarter final.

 

Also because they removed replays for this stage of the cup, it is why they call it quarterfinals now whereas it used to be called the sixth round.

[mikec]

FWIW the chances of a quarter-final draw where the "big four" avoid each other are 24/105 - or around 23% - so not that surprising really.

I guess anything would look better than the league cup where the broadcast mysteriously happened with absolutely no coverage.

[Badger]

Always a chance of an upset, especially when nothing is expected of us.

 

(okay, I know the likelihood is slim...)

Oh I agree, I don't really buy into these conspiracy theories.

[Bad Wolf]

The big teams never get each other before the semis...Apart from those times they do.

[Whitey Grandad]

Ah, ok, ta.

 

Seems a bit unfair really. The whole concept of the FA Cup is to make it as fair as possible to both sides with semi-finals on a neutral ground, for example. As it stands now a team could earn a hard-fought draw after 90 minutes and then have to face another 30 minutes of home advantage for the other team.

[suewhistle]

Saintsweb more accurate than the BBC - who have us down as playing at home!

[SaintStinger]

Maybe Man City will be too focused on winning everything else and put out their £500m reserve squad or something. Maybe we'll just have a real good game like last years LC final. Maybe Austin will be fit again.

[mrfahaji]

BBC are listing us as home, so was a bit confused. Looks like the BBC have just got it wrong. Amazing how poor their reporting is sometimes.
