[Archived] Fa Cup 5th Round

[Bobby G]

Well there were rumors of warm and cold balls in some European draw previously.

You cant rule anything out in todays world!

[joeh8]

we play Arsenal were out but if bolton beat them we'll go all the way

[Eddie]

The only other thing is that Wenger might play a young side against us if we do get them. They'll still be very good, but not quite as good as the lot we've had to play twice already this season.

[CAPT KAYOS]

Sorry herbergeehh , but he must be telling you porkies - we all know that Chelski get a home draw against a lower division team.

So looks like it will be Chelski v BPOOL/Norwich ...

Couldn't have been more surer :ph34r:

that's all we can hope for if we play them

this draw is absolutely sh*te. Either we get torn to shreads by Arsenal or bored out of the cup by Pigs Feet. Quality.

[Bobby G]

Arsenal played a full strength side other than Almunia against Bolton. Dont see why that would change against us, unless there is a CL game 3 days after that, where he might be inclined to rest a couple of players.

[Paul]

So if the replay is on 14th Feb, that AGAIN leaves us with 2/3 days to sort out tickets, etc for this one.

Why is the reply so late isnt it usually 10 days after the first game?

You'd expect it to be 6/7 February but England play Spain on the 7th so I'm guessing this is an international week. Mind you do either side have any English players?

Exactly for that reason, if our game at Luton needed a replay it would have been on the 10th Feb instead of Everton away.

Arsenal play PSV away as well on Tues the 20th, so if we do play them it will have to be on the Saturday.

[yellowsubmarine]

Disappointing with the draw.

Just as it looks like we are going to have a good run to the FA Cup, we bump into Arsenal/Bolton.

[Presty On Tour]

bolton away would be tidy.

[Guest Kamy100]

Ha Ha Ha I can see it now - 1-1 going into last couple of minutes at the Breezeblock, Dunn comes on to make his long awaited debut. The match now goes into injury time, ball is crossed by Pedersen and is cleared out of the box, ball falls to Dunn who smashes into the top corner!!

[todd_could_take_tyson]

Nice way to pick up even more injuries playing Bolton.

[Rovermatt]

Oh FFS! Either one will be a horrible tie. Terrible terrible terrible.

Oh and look United have been given yet another home tie against inferior opposition. Amazing, wonders will never cease.

[Zulu]

We will take great pleasure in welcoming all you banjo-strummers to the Reebok, after we have dealt with our other whipping boys from dahn Sarf.

You will all be able to marvel, once again, in the modern wonders of electricity and drinking water on tap. Simultaneously you will be able to gasp in awe as you see us dismantle your motley crew of workaday toilers(with apologies to Morten Gamst Pedersen, who's a bit better than that!) with the silky skills of Anelka, Campo, Davies et al.

Bring your mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends (even if they are all one and the same person.) If you wish to merge anonymously into the crowd you would be advised not to wear your colours - and don't point every time an aeroplane flies by.

And remember - THE HILLS HAVE EYES!

[AussieinUk]

Rubbish draw.. bloody FA!

Dont see us progessing through, only the UEFA now..

[Presty On Tour]

i fancy us to progress, arsenal have champions league a few days later so if we have them they would probably play a weakened side and we can role them over imo.

bolton away, local derby and would be an awesome match. get samba playing and that would destroy their long ball plan and dunny and co can do thier thing, we are better than bolton

4-1 v everton away

4-0 v luton town away

8-1 on the road, we should be feared!!!

[joey_big_nose]

I would quite fancy us against Bolton, especially with Nelsen back. At Arsenal we wouldn't stand a chance. Come on the Trotters!

Just about the worst draw we could have got though.

WAIT TIL DUNNY BEATS YOU...

The only place where Dunny will beat us is in the Burger Bar!

... and I wouldn't go there if I were you. I think we might win the "least empty seats" debate, my seven fingered friend!

That's an old one! People in Scotland have been saying that for absolute donkey's years. Saying that the reason Celtic and Rangers never meet, except in the final, is because of the heated balls trick.

[Roost]

Hmmmmm. You got to beat Arsenal yet, you clog wearing cretin.

Welcome to you Zulu. Perhaps you can enlighten me re this "banjo strummers/inbreds" business. you see Blackburn is a multi cultural, multi ethnic town of around 150,00 souls. So i dont get it. I also dont get that you lot seem to believe that Notlob is some sprawling Metropolis rather than the nondescript Manchester suburb it actually is.

Btw heard Terry Christian describe you lot (yes, you lot!) as "pie eating inbreeds" on the radio the other night. Allowed myself a wry smile.

[West Sussex Rover]

Why is it that we always get drawn away whereas Chelsea and Manure always get drawn at home?

Never thought id find myself saying this but... COME ON BOLTON!!!!

[Zulu]

He probably meant to say "inbreds" and am I going to worry about the ramblings of Terry Christian? You're right, I'm not.
