I dont know who i'd like. NLD final would be real fun. But I think a 7am saturday(noon UK time) semi final NLD is written in the stars right now. I also think we have a very good chance to best them if we're at full strength. But I have a few city fans as good friends so that would be a fun matchup for me in the semi.

Whoever we get will not want to face us after what we just did. I know it's just Millwall but that was a statement

Au contraire, pretty sure every other team will be hoping to play us as we have proved time and time again that we have no bottle in the biggest games and are rightly still seen as the weakest team left in the competition based on our wage bill, lack of trophies, performances at Wembley and in Europe etc.

1991 and 1992 we could have got a NLD cup final but both times we were drew against each other at the semi stage

I remember really wanting a spurs/arsenal final because most of my mums side of the family were gooners from Hoxton but we never got one

Same thing happened again years later in one of Sol Campbell's last games for the club

Again I'd like to see a NLD cup final but I'm fully expecting us to be drawn together in the semi again

Failing that I'd probably prefer Man U, I really don't know. Every game is tough and whoever wins the cup will have to do it against 2 of the best teams from here on out

I'd like Arsenal in the semis, but if City beat Utd then City as they may be involved in a Champions league game a few days before the semi final.

United, and if successful, followed by Arsenal in the final. The possibility of beating Arsenal in the final means more to me than the possible heartbreak of losing to them in the final.

As a few have stated on here, City will be our hardest test (in my opinion).
With their pace and attacking prowess, and the way they pressed up a few weeks ago, they are the team I'm most wary about.
I think Chelsea should fear us the most
and City will probably fear Chelsea most.
As for arse.... Ah who cares !!

Yep - 22/23 April. NLD in the league is the following Sunday too, so could have back to back NLDs.

I also remember reading that if United get through tonight ( I don't think they will) then their semi will be on the 23rd as they will be playing in the Europa League on the preceding Thursday.

I don't have a preference for who we get. Every opposition is tough. I'm more bothered about having Kane available for the game. I'm sure fans of Chelsea/Utd and City will be hoping to get us or Arsenal though.

I would of liked Man U in the semis as they would of been the easiest to beat, but i think Chelsea will steam roll over them tonight.

So i hope Arsenal in the semis, and Chelsea in the final.

Despite Chelsea being in the draw rather than Man Utd, we're so getting Arsenal, aren't we?

Repeat of league cup 2008 will do. On current form Arsenal are the weakest, and we know we can beat both Chelsea and City on our day. It's doable whoever we draw.

No doubt will be Arsenal semi then probably Chelsea if we get through.
