Anyone but Spurs....

[saint lard]

I’m sure the FA would love a Spurs V Man Utd/Chelsea final.....or Man Utd V Chelsea

So come on Leicester....and let’s get them in the semi final draw.

The media wouldn’t mind playing on the Puel & Southampton connection.

Really don't want leicester for that exact reason. Chelsea are dodgy this season, as are united although mourhino knows how to grind cup wins out.

I'd prefer:

 

1. Leicester - They really haven't been great under Puel. Since that 1-4 game, 3 months ago, they've only beaten Watford, West Brom and Udders in the League. It's not like we're any better but they are quite obviously the next weakest team in it.

 

2. Chelsea - Highly inconsistent this year.

 

3. Man Utd - I know they lost to Seville but they've been getting results apart from that.

 

4. Spurs. If Kane is fit. If not, Utd would be my last choice.

[obelisk]

Spurs playing at home in the semi and then maybe the final is a bit odd. Has it happened before?

this exactly for the reasons above. I do feel like we could have got a point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge too- Austin missed a good chance and they needed a set piece to break us down.

Mourinho is annoying cos he just grinds it out in the latter stages of competitions, but Spurs most dangerous for me if Kane is fit.

It'll be fixed so the big teams are kept apart just as the champions league was to keep the Spanish apart but the 2 English drawn together!

Yeah the balls are being warmed up as we speak

This. Being saying this for years but no one believes me

[RedArmy]

Let's not forget that we benefited from it in 2003

Oh yeah lol

[doddisalegend]

You just know we are going to lose to Puel in the final.

[simo]

I'd rather beat him in the Semi to reach the final !

[Manuel]

With the exception of one nice move which resulted in the goal, Chelsea look bang average today. Wouldn't mind them next.

Bang average is usual good enough to beat us though...

[Manuel]

Fair point. Let's hope Hughes can move things along a little.

[Pamplemousse]

It will be Man Utd we draw and the game will be live on BT Sport. You heard it here first.

[sandwichsaint]

Bacofoil crazy! What is the preferred final? C/Sp, M/Sp, C/M?

 

Obvs Saints will be weakest in the last 4 .... who do we play?

 

How do you fix the winner of the other semi?

 

Because the BEEB hate Saints (or something?)

[alpine_saint]

Chelsea please. Maybe Abramovich‘s assets have been siezed by then...

[Minsk]

I will be amazed if United and Spurs are drawn against each other; especially if Leicester beat Chelsea! Apart from the big teams always avoiding each other the FA won't want Mourinho going on and on about how it is unfair that United have to play away to Spurs in a semi-final.

Which he will and for once he will be correct

[whelk]

Well Schmeichel means it won’t be Leicester

[Saint-Fred]

As we are due to play Chelsea the week before and Leicester on the weekend, I think we will end up playing the winner of that tie.

How often do you see teams playing in the league and the cup in quick succession?

(We played Arsenal just before the 2003 final if I recall correctly!- luckily got their late and missed their first few goals that night!)

[sandwichsaint]

[Batman]

You just know it will be United

[Pamplemousse]

Man Utd v Tottenham

Chelsea v Southampton

[Batman]

Phew. Not Spurs

Chelsea.

[Manuel]

Happy with that.

[Jimmy_D]

Saints vs Man Utd in the final then

[Batman]

Obviously, Chelsea will be delighted with the draw. But rather we had them than Spurs

[davefoggy]

Bring on the semi!!

[tajjuk]

Best we could hope for, let's hope their poor form continues.

[Saint86]

Chelsea is the obvious best choice for us. It is who i wanted to draw before the leicster game finished, and I am happy with it now. We would lose to Tottenham or Leicester, and we played united last year. Plus I don't fancy us to beat a jose team fighting for their last bit of silverware.

[Minsk]

Which he will and for once he will be correct

 

Well, well, well...... I was wrong.

 

Hope Mourinho does make a big thing of being the away team, despite having been drawn as the home team!!

[aintforever]

Happy with that, Chelsea can be hit and miss.

[Baird of the land]

That bbc draw was a bit inept. Had Wigan or Southampton come up in bar with numbers and then presenter completely got the draw wrong in her summary.

 

Reasonably happy with the draw.

[markr27]

I guess that means we'll be in red/white too?

[Manuel]

Saints vs Man Utd in the final then

Best outcome for me. I'd go into that match a lot more positively than I would vs Spuds.

[CB Fry]

The draw was officially a BT Sport production, and she did indeed cock it right up in her summary.

Hope no one called her "love". She gets a right blob on with who ever does

[Whitey Grandad]

Has she had a cock up before?

[beatlesaint]

The draw was officially a BT Sport production, and she did indeed cock it right up in her summary.

 

Which given she only had two ties and four teams to get right was quite extraordinary

[LeBenali]

Any idea when we known if it’ll be Saturday or Sunday?

[Whitey Grandad]

(We played Arsenal just before the 2003 final if I recall correctly!- luckily got their late and missed their first few goals that night!)

 

That means we shall have to beat Chelsea twice within a week.

 

Oh well, if needs must.

[CB Fry]

I guess that means we'll be in red/white too?

You hope so against a blue team anyway.

[sandwichsaint]

You can all put the bacofoil away for another year ......... but,but, but ........... the beeb hates Saints,

That be the 3rd time this year we’ve played our opponents the week before

[fanimal]

Rather have the 3 points a week earlier….

[CB Fry]

You'd hope within a couple of days, just the two TV companies divvying it up and aligning with the other TV fixtures.

[Windy Miller]

Need to beat Chelsea twice within a week. I'm glad the league game is first - get 3 points there and I'll be happy with a day out at Wembley regardless of the score

[Paul Chuckle]

Will we have the Greenman Pub again?
