[Archived] Sixth Round Draw

[philipl]

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.

dont care about the draw.....until march 1st 10pm...

[Alan75]

Lots of coincidences so far.

Cardiff - Mark Hughes.

Colchester - Neill Danns

Burnley - local derby

what odds Newcastle

[Hughesy]

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

[Nayef]

When's the draw?

[EwoodGlory]

1:30

[roversWASmylife]

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]

of course it'll be Newcastle. Going to be a Man U Arsenal final

[herbergeehh]

Agree with Alan and Flopsy, it's Newcastle for sure!

Souness' black and white thugs!

[Nayef]

Spurs or Forest at Ewood I say.

[Ossydave]

Wouldn't mind Bolton at Ewood.

[Ricky]

I'd be happy with Leicester or Southampton/Brentford at Ewood.

[Flopsy]

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]

how are they thugs?

They're not. But the song needed words. And I'm not going to call them anything positive..

[herbergeehh]

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!!

[Flopsy]

We ve got Leicester at Ewood

[B.R.F.C]

Leicester at home if we get through, we have to beat the Dingles now!

[frosty]

Leicester

[Laurence]

could be worse

[des]

well its a good draw all we need now is to beat Burnley

[Liam0001]

The BEST draw we could have possibly hoped for!!

[roversWASmylife]

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]

We ve got Leicester at Ewood

WE HAVE GOT BURNLEY AT HOME.......DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER

YET!!!

[RoyRover]

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]

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.
