[Archived] FA Cup 6th Round (QF) Draw

[Stuart]

Well, somehow we are in the 6th round. Unbelieveable.

A heads-up then for the 6th Round Draw (Quarter Finals in old money).

The draw is at 5.55pm tomorrow (Sunday 17 February 2013) - EDIT: on ITV1, ESPN and FA TV

Going to be a strange one since Man Utd/Reading and a 4th round tie will only just have been decided by that point.

In the hat will be:

1 Huddersfield Town or Wigan Athletic

2 Barnsley

3 Oldham Athletic or Everton

4 Millwall

5 Arsenal Blackburn Rovers

6 Manchester City or Leeds United

7 Manchester United or Reading

8 Middlesbrough or Brentford or Chelsea

A long way to go to finalise the fixtures though; number 8 won't be confirmed until 27th Feb(!).

I don't really care who we draw.

Well... except for the fact that we could be 90 minutes away from Wembley...

[G Somerset Rover]

For the love of God, not United, Man City or Chelsea away.

After the stitch up of a draw for the 5th round we deserve a plum tie at home.

[Mr. E]

C'mon Oldham!

[Threepenny Bit Foot]

Barnsley at home please

[SydneyRover]

Basically hoping for 1-4 rather than 6-8. Home draw would be great though if we had one of the big teams.

[Tom]

Barnsley at home would be very nice but any game is going to be massive

A home tie will see the biggest non Burnley gate of the season, a good performance and many of those fans may stay

[roversfan99]

Does the losing finalist still get a Europa League place if the winner has already got into Europe via their league position?

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Not Utd, CIty or Chelsea please.

Or Everton away. Rather play Wigan away than Everton at home as well.

Home to Barnsley would be lovely.

[SydneyRover]

It's not a bad combination when 50% of the possible ties we could have are easily winnable

[chaddyrovers]

just want a home game against anyone

[G Somerset Rover]

Does the losing finalist still get a Europa League place if the winner has already got into Europe via their league position?

Yes they do. Promotion via the play-offs and an FA Cup final appearance in the offing. We can dream, and why not after today.

Looking at the line up the FA are going to have to give some serious thought to who they consider the easiest tie for Man Utd is going to be. Could be a couple of slightly tacky balls in the machine , can't see Budweiser being too happy with a Rovers v Huddersfield final

[cn174]

Someone easy at home.

I might have a dilemma. I've booked to go away from 10th May to 17th, didn't really think about the FA Cup final! Might just have to cancel it!!

[Stuart]

Steady on Clare! We'll probably get Chelsea away - it's about the worst possible outcome as things stand.

Oldham 1-0 up though. Just maybe...

1928 all over again! Let's hope for the same result!!

I'll join you for a glass of VB in November if that happens!

yeah think 85 years is a long enough wait, VB horrid stuff will stick to wine and Jameson's.

[riverside returns]

What is the odds for

Man utd h

Man city h

Chelsea h

Everton h

I wonder.

Just Have sneaky for mill wall a tho

[K-Hod]

Would be odd if we ended up drawing Millwall away, after all, that's the game we'll have to re-arrange due to today's results!!

[RoyRover]

Barnsley at home would do me!

[riverside returns]

Think that would do most but won't happen cos their ball and ours will be too cold for that.

[Amo]

Great to see Oldham grab a last-gasp equalizer against that @#/? Moyes.

Syd Puddefoot and Jack Roscamp or Harry Healeses families probably wouldn't mind a bit of deja-vu

[Mike Graham]

I would guess Millwall away on Sunday lunchtime.

[jim mk2]

The FA Cup committee and TV companies will be devastated by our unexpected victory today. Arsenal can expect a letter of admonishment from them for letting them down.

They will make sure we get Chelsea / United / City away in the quarter-finals and this time bribe the ref just to make sure.
