Draw for FA Cup Semis

[dricha1]

Well it's not like we don't owe them one is it?

To be fair we know exactly how they'll play and we should go into it with some belief. Hope Kane is fit.

 

[DIEHARD]

They have pace which is suited to Wembley. We need pace and don't have much of it.

At why I'd be confident.

But hey it's like five weeks away so for now I'm gonna wank away until then to pass time by

 

[BPR_U16]

Was gonna be tough no matter what and odds were we had to beat Chelsea at some stage to win the cup.
So beat them semis then city in final - no probs.

 

[Hazardousman]

I was hoping we would get Chelsea, want to get them out the way early, wouldn't want to meet them in the final at all.

We shouldn't be afraid of them, we are the only team this season to beat them comfortably. That 2-0 win from us was quite frankly the most professional performance we have put in all season, it was a masterclass on how to deal with Chelsea.

If we have Kane and Rose and a fully fit team I have every single confidence we will beat them.

The question is, how big a part will being at Wembley play? Our confidence isn't exactly great there.

However saying that, this will be a perfect game to get our confidence up at Wembley, if we can beat Chelsea there we can beat anyone there.

Bring em the fuck on I say. COYS.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Very, very tough game and you'd have to make Chelsea favourites. They're playing so well at the moment. We need everyone back, really- especially Harry. Don't want a repeat of that last, utterly miserable semi against them!

 

[Shea]

I think we got the hardest possible draw

But we've beat them already this season and any draw was going to be pretty much as hard anyway due to the teams left in it

I fancy Arsenal to beat City without Jesus but wouldn't mind a NLD final or a repeat of the final in the early 80s when Villa scored his wonder goal

 

[dondo]

Scum will get battered. Our clash is 50/50.

Our clash is not 50/50 70/30 to Chelsea at best all thing considered

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

We are the only team in the league to have outplayed them both home and away. The only negative for us is Wembley, I'd be more confident playing at Old Trafford or Villa Park like the old days.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Harry, rose and lamela available for that game would be quite the gift

If Kane and Rose are fit then I think we should be favourites, like I said, we beat them comfortably last time we played them.

 

[easley91]

We've already beaten them, one of very very few to do so. We have that confidence going into it. It's effectively a 'home' game and not at the Bridge. Let's have em!

 

[alfie103]

Personally I am happy we have a massive game for the semi final. If we want to win things, we need to be able to deliver under pressure where we need to win that game. We haven't really done that yet so this will be invaluable experience.

 

[riggi]

Bored of losing to them at Wembley.

 

[Hazardousman]

Imagine beating Arsenal in the final and finishing above them for our last season at the lane.

 

[StevePil]

We got the toughest draw possible, they are running away with the league, we are playing at Wembley where we just cant win and we have key injuries who may not be back... really shit draw

yes we can beat them, but seriously cant see it - think that's our season done which is very frustrating

It pisses me off when we get to a cup final or semi, we get the big boys where as last few seasons when arse and man u have won the cup they have had lower league sides in the SF and Final. Spurs get there and the big boys are there their, someone clearly hates us!

Push for top 4 Spurs as without kane that be tough and seriously think cup is gone now hoped for Arse in SF and City in final - worse possible draw

 

[eddiev14]

It doesn't make a difference at this stage. All three teams are good, we just have to focus on doing what we do.

This habit of slipping up when the pressure is on needs to be broken, and there is no better opportunity than this match.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Harry, rose and lamela available for that game would be quite the gift

Lamela back would be quite the miracle

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Our clash is not 50/50 70/30 to Chelsea at best all thing considered

You're massively underselling us there, we're the only team to have outplayed them in this system, in equally good form since Christmas and should have Rose and Kane back by then

 

[Mate]

Why all the negativity? Anyone would think we were a mid-table team going by some of the comments.

I'm just hoping Kane is back in time for the tie. At full strength, we're more than a match for them.

If we ever want to be a "big team" we have to think like a big team, we have nothing to be afraid of, they are only human, on our day we can beat anyone, I truly believe that and as long as we take that mentality into the game we will have just as much chance as Chelsea.

We can't keep relying on playing below average teams to win things.
