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

[perthblue02]

Just had a quick look on a couple of Millwall threads , they are quite happy with the draw, few of them really wanted to avoid Barnsley bogey team apparently

[matt83]

Millwall fans think they have an easy way into the semis now. I don't think they realise we've only conceded 2 goals from open play so far this year. I'm pretty confident.

It’s one of those ties where both teams will think that they can, or for the more optimistic, will win. They have every right to be confident for the win 1 they’re at home 2 in November they dicked us at Ewood without breaking sweat but we are a different animal now. It’s still a 50:50 but after 2 years of only feeling negativity towards the club and our prospects finally feel like a semi final is very very attainable.

And considering the teams left in the bag were us, Millwall, Chelsea and man utd with united drawn at home I was delighted with millwall.

If we're going to have three games at Wembley , I might by-pass this one - I went to the Fourth Round game in 2001/02, so it's a ground I've seen us on.

Let's hope their players think that too.

That's pretty much what I'm saying, I think they are underestimating us.

Yep, I agree, things are starting to look really good.

In a way, it's the best draw for us, apart from, possibly playing them at Ewood.

I used to watch Rochdale when they were at home and Rovers weren't and think that David Flitcroft, who used to be the brawn behind them when Keith Hill was their manager, has got Barnsley fired up. I can't imagine that Moyes will tolerate Oldham winning @ Goodison Park again so this is our best route to the Final, imo.

I think we should "forfeit" the game. "We have games against sides within touching distance of us in the league. We need to treat those games as cup finals."...........

[Claytons Left Boot]

So it's London for the quarter final, London for the semi final and London for the final then...

Better start saving up.

You missed London for the 5th round.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I think we should win every game, starting at Hull, til th'end ut season, and I for one will be reet happy!

[martonrover]

My guess is that the games be rovers sat 1500

Everton sat 1730

Utd Sunday 1600

City monday

So you think there will be three live televised games?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Isn't quarter final same as 5th round?

Or the 6th round, now I've confused myself - its last 8! Back in the room

[Salgado Is A Hero]

There normally is isn't there? Between ESPN and ITV.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Would imagine all 4 games on telly box?

6th round = last 8 = quarter finals

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I got there in the end!

[riverside returns]

Usually one that is on at 1500 and not live.

[bazza]

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

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!!

I would guess Millwall away on Sunday lunchtime.

It will be

6 v 3

4 v 5

7 v 1 and

8 v 2

Have you chaps got ESP? Especially you, riverside returns. Please give me next Fridays Euromillions numbers.

I was always under the impression that ALL QF ties are televised these days. So not 3pm Saturday game

ITV Website: 2 live FA Cup quarter finals + 1 replay and 1 exclusively live semi final.

I would assume ESPN will show the other two

[AlanK]

Tacky balls, heated balls.....just wondered what the conspiracy theorists think of the draw? People spout the same nonsense every year. The way those balls rattle around inside that pot would make it ridiculously difficult to pick out a specific one.

Its a good draw for us. Not easy but far from impossible.

[Mike Graham]

better not be Sunday.....it is Mothering Sunday

ESPN schedules are showing a live FA Cup game on Saturday lunch time and another on Sunday afternoon. I would expect all four games to be live on TV and would expect ours to be Saturday or Sunday lunch time. But, as always, we are at the mercy of the TV schedules.

[riverside returns]

If there is a live at 1230 sat it would be us as it matters not who is on a la Luton v millwall

Yep, since the 3rd round there have been 5 games live on telly, 2 on ITV and 3 on ESPN (plus a replay on each if there's been enough games). It makes sense then that ESPN will have 2 of the quarters as well.

[Gumbi]

AS I said earlier in this thread, our game will be on the Sunday. They can't have both Man Utd and Man City playing at home on the same day and Liverpool are at home on the Sunday so Everton wouldn't be able to play on the Sunday.
