Only if Gazza can play and score his free kick all over again. Pure ecstasy.

Well it's 2-1 to them in semi finals so nice to equal the score.

I just couldn't take the stress of playing them in the final.

I just remembered the 2012 1-5 defeat to Chelscum when Martin Atkinson gave them a goal that didn't cross the line. I'd sort of erased that game from my memory!

Yeah, you're right. Remember that ridiculous Dabizas handball that wasn't given in that game. We've played Arsenal in about five semi finals going back to '91 though.

I was exactly level with Dabizas that day, sitting low in the stand about 40 yards away. bastard.

I don't care. All I want is a Spurs-Chelscum Final; and we beat them just like 50 years ago. Greaves, Jones and Jennings should be there to celebrate our victory and 50th anniversary of their own victory in 1967.

We beat Millwall en route to the final.
And we didn't play outside of London in rounds 3-6.

I don't care who we get in a Semi-Final really, though I selected Arsenal.. why? Because it means we beat Millwall and got through. I think given our recent experience at Wembley, entry into the Semis is key, as we should have Wembley "home" as an advantage over the other teams, though i would like to see us win vs Genk there first, just to get a bit of a losing streak at Wembley off our collective backs.

Millwall first though and that will be a tough enough match.

1991, 1992 I wanted to avoid Arsenal in both of those semis

I always thought it was the game that should have been the final

If only the school boys own gazza free kick and been in the cup winning game instead of Gazza's final being marred with the challenge on Charles and the injury that probably limited his career (spectacular as it still was)

Personally again I would like Spurs vs Arsenal to be the FA cup final (although of course I will laugh if they go out prior to the final)

The first Spurs Arsenal final will be won by Spurs because we always do things before them. So I'd rather play them in the final.

Can you imagine the scenes if we beat them in the final though?!? :eek:

This place would be an absolute mess at 4 am the following morning, with drunken poems to Poch and 4 million new threads started to say how in love you were with (insert player name) as you try to eat your kebab from between your sofa cushions!

The morning after would be like reading that text I didn't send to my ex when I hadn't drunk any gin at all, I swear. :unsure:

Incredible.

I didn't even realise it was the quarter finals, we've had nice cup draws so far, although we made it hard for ourselves against Wycombe. Very unwise to look past the Millwall game especially if we play a weakened side but if we get past them I don't care who we get, because I only see disappointment in our future.
I think we'll have to beat two of our top four rivals to win the cup and I just don't see us turning up for both games. I'd love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

@gregrogers ...

Did you dislike the fact that
a) I was level with Dabizas that day
b) sitting low in the stand
c) the word bastard
Or
d) Any or all in combination of the a, b or c ?

Just wondering like.
