philipl Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 FA Cup sixth round numbers: 1 Bolton Wanderers 2 Tottenham Hotspur or Nottingham Forest 3 Manchester United 4 Leicester City 5 Burnley or Blackburn Rovers 6 Southampton or Brentford 7 Newcastle United 8 Arsenal or Sheffield United Being drawn against number 4 or 6 home or away would be the best opportunity for a semi-final appearance. 8 would be a chance to repay recent QF defeats whoever wins their replay. 7 at Ewood would be a chance to set one or two matters straight. Don't fancy drawing the Wanderers just yet but it would be a chance to get at Spit the Dive. Would prefer someone else to get the opportunity of knocking out the Mancs.

ABBEY Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 dont care about the draw.....until march 1st 10pm...
Alan75 Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Lots of coincidences so far. Cardiff - Mark Hughes. Colchester - Neill Danns Burnley - local derby what odds Newcastle
Hughesy Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Id be happy with any of the following. Leicester @ Home or Brentford/ Southampton @ home Hopefully Man United will get drawn with the Arsenal if they get through will get drawn against Bolton @ the Breezeblock
roversWASmylife Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 I don't mind who we get, just as long as we avoid Arsenal and Man United. Anyone else, if we play to our strengths we have a good chance of winning. But we must perform a lot better than yesterday to have a chance of progressing. I'd like a tie at Ewood with a good attendance surely?
Flopsy Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 of course it'll be Newcastle. Going to be a Man U Arsenal final
herbergeehh Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Agree with Alan and Flopsy, it's Newcastle for sure! Souness' black and white thugs!
Ricky Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 I'd be happy with Leicester or Southampton/Brentford at Ewood.
Flopsy Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Agree with Alan and Flopsy, it's Newcastle for sure! Souness' black and white thugs! how are they thugs? Bridge was tackled in a fair but firm way. duff injured himself as did Gallas. Theres only Bowyer whos dodgy at Toon at the mo (other than Robert - i Hope Neill kicks him into the Riverside this time. (if we get them that is)) Worse case scenario (other than losing to the dingles) is that we get Arsenal or Man U away from home
herbergeehh Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 how are they thugs? They're not. But the song needed words. And I'm not going to call them anything positive..
herbergeehh Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Newcastle at home to Tottenham/Nottingham Forest Southampton/Brentford at home to Manchester United Bolton Wanderers at home to Arsenal/Sheffield United BLACKBURN/burnley at home to LEICESTER CITY! Good draw!! Edited February 21, 2005 by herbergeehh
B.R.F.C Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Leicester at home if we get through, we have to beat the Dingles now!
des Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 well its a good draw all we need now is to beat Burnley
Liam0001 Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 The BEST draw we could have possibly hoped for!!
roversWASmylife Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Happy with the draw for the Quarter Finals. If we beat Burnley in the replay then we should have an excellent chance of getting to the semi's. At home to Leicester is a good draw at home and I would have happily taken it before hand.
ABBEY Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 We ve got Leicester at Ewood WE HAVE GOT BURNLEY AT HOME.......DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER YET!!!
RoyRover Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Provided that we beat Burnley, a home tie against Leicester is probably the best draw that we could have gotten. We now have a real chance to get to the semi-final of the FA Cup, somewhere that we haven't been in years.
Paul Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Couldn't have asked for a better draw. Now lads get out there and beat Burnley and we have a fighting chance of making the semis.
