OldNick Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be very rewarding if we were to win this and be the ones stopping City from winning another trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 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.

nta786 Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 No replay? 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 Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 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. 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.

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. 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.

SaintStinger Posted 17 February, 2018 Share Posted 17 February, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
