I take it Merstham are the lowest ranked team in it?

No it is Westfields from the Midland Alliance the ninth tier of English football who are the lowest team left.

Hoped for Carlisle's game to be televised, never mind.
St. Albans.

Westfields did very well to draw against Curzon Ashton in their match.
Posted by: Mack'sXmasSack 4th December 2016, 05:56 PM
Anyone been watching the FA Cup second round this weekend?
A cruel loss for Curzon Ashton to lose 4-3 to Wimbledon after being 3-0 up with 10 minutes to go.
Barrow knocking out Bristol Rovers and Sutton knocking out Cheltenham.
Third round draw tomorrow night.
Posted by: Steve201 4th December 2016, 09:49 PM
Some comeback by Wimbledon!
Lookin forward to the third round draw!

Poor Bristol Rovers, always want to see both Bristol teams do well.
Fingers crossed West Ham draw Millwall at home. Reckon that'd be a 11am Sunday kick off with no away fans allowed.
Posted by: Houdini 5th December 2016, 01:16 PM
Manchester United vs Barrow at Old Trafford hopefully in the next round!
We may as well try to retain this trophy seeing as the league is gone now. An EFL Cup & FA Cup double would be decent.
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 5th December 2016, 05:50 PM
I was secretly hoping City would draw Rovers at Ashton Gate, but those shitbags can't even beat the likes of Barrow and Chesham on their own turf!
Posted by: Silas 5th December 2016, 07:34 PM
We're at home to Reading 
WH vs City at Olympic Stadium.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 5th December 2016, 09:28 PM
Oh well, that's another year without a trophy confirmed...
Posted by: Silas 5th December 2016, 09:53 PM
You're playing City and as we saw at the weekend they aren't infallible. Plus, they probably won't field that strong a team. They sent a weaker team out against us in the League Cup and then scrambled to put on big hitters when it backfired. They're arrogant, and that can always be exploited.
Posted by: Steve201 6th December 2016, 12:28 AM
WH vs City at Olympic Stadium.
Big Japp Stam back at OT - yous always gets home draw!
Posted by: Mack'sXmasSack 13th December 2016, 10:16 PM
Stourbridge have knocked out Northampton, who are 89 places above them.
A seventh-tier club through to the third round.

Who do you think will win the FA Cup?
Posted by: Houdini 6th January 2017, 07:10 PM
Manchester United to retain this trophy hopefully, I think we have a really good chance of doing it as well with Mourinho's record in this competition.
I can see West Ham beating or drawing with Manchester City tonight.

When West Ham drop from 40/1 to 200000/1
Posted by: Mack 6th January 2017, 10:09 PM
For each way value probably Bournemouth and West Brom as Wigan, Hull, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have reached the final in the last 4 years.
West Ham were very poor tonight.

I think teams will be avoiding the FA Cup final this season as look at what's happened to those past 4 finalists since
Posted by: Houdini 7th January 2017, 05:09 PM
Paul Merson said on Sky Sports News yesterday that Everton would win the FA Cup this season
Posted by: Silas 7th January 2017, 06:14 PM
Very pleasing performance for us without what has become the 'spine' of the United revival. Nine changes were made and we were still playing good attacking football. Some are still too inclined to pass back when there's the slightest hint of pressure (Floppy Haired c**t & Smalling in particular) and we're utterly wasteful in front of goal but it's much improved versus the last three years. There's a hunger and the team is constantine hunting for goals.
I think there's some evidence in the past few matches of Mourinho learning and adapting to United a bit too. After the cynical substitution at Everton that cost us 2 points (sack the floppy haired c**t plsthx) he seems to be more willing to hunt for that 2nd and 3rd rather than sit on a 1-0 like he did at Chelsea.
Good opening to our cup defence. I know some will say "oh but they're a championship team" and that's fine and all, but they're probably going to be in the PL next year and they're playing better than Swansea, Hull, Palace & Sunderland are right now.

Reading were absoutely awful in that first 20 minutes. United played well, but showed for me why they're an injury away to a couple of players from struggling. Their finishing was horrendous. Mata and Martial are two great players, but Mourinho really doesn't fancy them too much. Those two and Ibra are the only good goalscorers who can score consistently. No surprise a return to form has contended with not playing Thursday-Sunday. If Man Utd stay in 4 cup competitions between now and the end of the year, then it's going to be pretty brutal especially as Liverpool and Chelsea will be reverting to 1 game a week again pretty shortly.
Mourinho has definitely improved, but I've seen this from him before. I think as soon as he actually has something to lose, he will revert back to his nullifying football. If he goes for it against Liverpool next weekend then fair play, but can't see it myself.
Posted by: Silas 7th January 2017, 06:38 PM
Yeah i'm not sure how Liverpool is gonna go down. I'm hopeful we'll continue our positive run but I can see a cynical set up again. It's a must win match for us if we want to actually jump into the top 4. I wouldn't say we're an injury away from trouble all over the pitch. Going forwards we have good options but it's at the back where we're at Risk. Injury to Rojo isn't good with Bailly out because it means we're depending on Jones to stay injury free. Phil Jones. Mr f***ing injury himself. If Rojo is more serious than a cramp then £7m for Fonte wouldn't be a bad idea to get us through January.
It's only 3 cups! And the League Cup is over shortly anyway so not too disruptive. Europa will be the thing that would hurt a title run but realistically that's not happening this year so a Europa win would be a really good thing for us.
Arsenal are coping it from their official twitter account. Sounds painful.
Posted by: Cassidy 7th January 2017, 09:28 PM
I'd be very surprised if we set up next Sunday as we did at Anfield. For a start we're at Old Trafford, not to add to the fact we're on a sensational (by the last three years standards) run of form where we've thrived off the back of our attacking play and a triangle of Herrera-Carrick-Pogba. Seeing our team sheet before that match pretty much told you our intentions, I'd be very shocked to see Fellaini in there on Sunday.
Also would be interested to see what position you think an injury to would deflate our team? Goalkeeper, yes maybe, but that's the same for most of the Prem (well the ones blessed enough to have at least one decent goalie!)
Posted by: Silas 7th January 2017, 09:43 PM
I think we'd be ok if De Gea got injured. Romero is bloody good, better than the majority of the keepers in the league and defo the 2nd best keeper in the North West. 
This is our best run of form since something like 2008 and Jose's best run of form since 2006. Jose's past it my arse. You just need proper quality materials to work with
Posted by: Mack 7th January 2017, 11:04 PM
Surprised no non league opposition matches were on the telly.
Bournemouth, West Bromwich and Stoke all out to lower league opposition.
Stupid to put Cardiff's match at 11:30am tomorrow.

Why would the BBC put a non premier league match on, when they can put on teams who are on TV every week?
Posted by: Mack 7th January 2017, 11:16 PM
I meant probably BT. BBC would always pick a Premier League match with first pick.
Posted by: Houdini 8th January 2017, 12:27 AM
Silas did you go to the match? I was watching it on BT Sport and it felt like there wasn't much atmosphere at Old Trafford today so I'm wondering if that's how it actually was in the stadium.
Posted by: Silas 8th January 2017, 12:41 AM
Aye! Was sat in E231, which is usually the away end. I've missed two home games this year (Stoke & Sunderland) and I'm gonna miss Bournemouth and the Europa R16 if we get that far coz I'm on holiday the first two weeks of March. (Fly out the day after the cup final though) Otherwise I should be at the rest of our home games. TBH i'm tempted to send my mother to the Europa match in my place coz I want a final ticket
It wasn't as good as the atmosphere during the comeback against boro but it's not the worst it's been this year, that'd probably be against Luhansk when the Upper North and Upper East were both closed and there was so many empty seats. I was amazed to see the attendance was over 74k. I'd have guessed at 70-71K personally. Reading fans were pretty quiet actually, maybe the quietest away support of the season so far.

The thing is, I think if Man Utd go toe to toe with Liverpool, I only see one winner, and that's the away side. Look how Pep set up against us at Anfield (and also how we tweaked ourselves too). For me, all the pressure is on Man Utd for this one. I don't think a defeat for either team means anything, but he won't want to get beat against Liverpool and we usually struggle sometimes against physical games.
For me an injury to Ibra would be the big thing. The problem Man Utd have is scoring goals consistently. Martial would be a good replacement, but I really don't think Mourinho fancies him too much. And I have no idea why, because the guy is absolute quality.
Posted by: Houdini 9th January 2017, 12:52 AM
Hopefully Liverpool will replicate their goal scoring feat against Plymouth in the match at Old Trafford next Sunday!
Posted by: Cassidy 9th January 2017, 10:09 PM
Wigan at home. Bet you're delighted Silas!
Posted by: Silas 9th January 2017, 10:27 PM
It's turning into a very expensive month with EFL, Europa and FA Cup all coming from one pay cheque!
Wigan is a good draw. They're high enough up the structure to remove any temptation to disrespect them. Nice to have Joyce back at OT for a night too. He should get a good homecoming.

Joyce is hilarious, disappointed he's not done more with Wigan but with all due respect there's not a lot to work with. Remember being sat about 15ft away from him at an U23's match earlier this season and him laying in to Tosin Kehinde with the exact line "What the fuck are you doing Tosin? You're playing shit out there!"
Posted by: Silas 9th January 2017, 10:47 PM
I remember reading some post match comments of his where he basically said "they were shite" like almost literally those words.
I hope he does well over the next few years. He'd make a good first team manager in the eventual post Jose era
Posted by: Cassidy 10th January 2017, 12:15 AM

I remember reading an interview in which he publicly slated them saying they were the worst bunch he'd ever worked with. Not sure about his methods on that tbh. Will be interested to see if he can turn it around at Wigan though, there's some very poor quality in that league this year but also some very good quality. He could definitely keep them up with a bit of luck.

What round 4 matches do we think the BBC will pick?
Posted by: Silas 10th January 2017, 12:48 AM
United have had something like 56 consecutive FA cup matches televised, so I'd be surprised if one of them didn't pick us.
Posted by: Suedehead2 10th January 2017, 07:59 AM
If it was at WIgan it would have been an obvious choice. The same principle applies for Chelsea v Brentford. As it is, a lack of outstanding ties means Man U will probably be on again. I!'d like to see one of them go for Sutton or Wimbledon v Leeds.
Posted by: Mack 10th January 2017, 08:40 AM
Man United v Wigan
Chelsea v Brentford
For BT probably:
AFC Wimbledon/Sutton v Leeds United
Tottenham v Wycombe
Middlesbrough v Accrington Stanley

#KloppOut
We're in awful form, hopefully it shows the owners that come the summer we need to spend big.
Only hope now if we're within 5-7 points within Chelsea with 10 games to go then we have a slim chance of winning the league. Going to be playing 3 games in February ad 3 games in March.. going to be one of the most rested teams out there, so hopefully the intensity will be there which we've lacked recently.
Posted by: Flatcap 28th January 2017, 09:08 PM
Lincoln were a league team, they were relegated from the league back in 2011.
Posted by: Sarah 29th January 2017, 04:08 AM
Gutted we are out the FA Cup, had a few miss chances and too many team changes but fair play to Lincoln, they were great in the second half
Hope Man United beat Wigan!
Posted by: Dobbo 29th January 2017, 03:55 PM
Brilliant from Sutton there. First time in the history of the cup 2 non-league teams are in the Round 5 hat!
Posted by: Rooney 29th January 2017, 04:07 PM
If Wigan win today I am going to be pissed! Was strongly looking at doing a Sutton/Wigan double, but bottled it!
Well done Sutton United - really hope you get one of the big teams away from home!
Posted by: Suedehead2 29th January 2017, 06:35 PM
Any fancy a bet on Sutton and Lincoln being drawn against each other?
Posted by: Houdini 29th January 2017, 06:54 PM
A nice 4-0 win for the 2nd round in a row for Man United. The first half was boring but the second half was a lot better, I hope we get Sutton or Lincoln at home in the next round.
Posted by: Dobbo 29th January 2017, 07:05 PM
I would like Sutton to get Lincoln themselves in the next round, that way a non-league team would be guaranteed in the Quarters!
Good performance eventually from us today, nice to see us taking everything seriously this season at least.
Posted by: Silas 29th January 2017, 07:56 PM
Now that Liverpool is how you play a B team!!!! Sluggish first half but to be fair it's been months since half that team have played! Fantastic second half. The big difference was the increased passing rate. First half everyone sat on the ball for too long. There was a beautiful bit of play on the left between Mata and Martial where they exchanged back heels to run round Wigan. I was elated that Basti started and I'm so chuffed to bits that he scored his first United goal. Been a tough year for him but I still rate him and after getting rid of the cobwebs I thought he was brill. Fair play to Wigan, they were a great side and well organised by Joyce. They made it tough for us but our class in the second half shon through.
Good response to the midweek "loss".
Posted by: Rooney 29th January 2017, 08:45 PM
Good response to the midweek "loss".
You have a much better squad than us. We started with a right back that would be lucky to start for a League 2 team! Fair play though to you guys. Interested to see how you cope in 4 competitions now. Even if you don't get Top 4, you've set yourselves up for some silverware which is always good. You would expect that though with the most expensive side ever assembled!!!
Posted by: Mack 29th January 2017, 10:42 PM
That would be something.
What do you make of teams playing weaker teams?
Posted by: Silas 29th January 2017, 10:51 PM
What do you make of teams playing weaker teams?
I like it because the bigger teams will disrespect their opponent 9 times out of 10 and that's where you get a giant killing and the magic of the cup. I was heartbroken for Wycombe!!!
I'm hoping we draw a non-PL side because it gives our fringe players a game. Tonight we gave two academy players their debuts including a goalie! That's fab for me as a United fan to see them break into the team. We were well in control by then but because we played just enough starters we could play a couple of the young lads and get them some game time at home in front of 70,000 people.
You want the big teams to play at home tho. It makes it a special occasion for the smaller teams too. Plus the match, at this stage, is very likely to be televised which gives the clubs a massive financial boost
Posted by: Steve201 29th January 2017, 10:59 PM
Silias once again fascinated with Liverpool!
In fairness to Wigan they played really well for 40 mins but once the first went in there was only one winner - but 4-0 was harsh!
Posted by: Steve201 29th January 2017, 11:01 PM

I think it's the other way around, the lower ranked teams will get a lot of money if they get drawn at home to a Premier League side and it gets shown on TV. If Sutton United get drawn at home against Chelsea in the next round for example then the tickets will sell out in no time and BBC & BT Sport will be very keen to broadcast it live which would generate TV revenue. Sutton United memorabilia would probably sell at a faster rate as well.
Posted by: Rooney 30th January 2017, 12:04 AM
It's Man Utd fan territory to be obsessed with Liverpool - not sure I have ever watched a game where Man Utd fans don't sing about Liverpool!
That said, we deserve the stick that comes with the defeat. It's part and parcel of football.
Posted by: Martyn 30th January 2017, 12:06 AM
No the small teams prefer to be away to a Premier League team. Bigger stadium (that they would never normally play in.) means bigger ticket revenue.
Also at this stage if Sutton are drawn at home it will likely get moved to a bigger stadium anyway.
Posted by: Silas 30th January 2017, 12:21 AM
That said, we deserve the stick that comes with the defeat. It's part and parcel of football.
I've grown up in a Liverpool/United household so they've always been on TV and I've had years of my dad railing against successive poor managers and players or praising players or passes so I don't really have to try hard to keep well up-to-date with Pool. (honestly if I have to see another video of bloody Suarez scoring...)
If you want obsessive tho y'all should check the mirror. Liverpool twitter day after the NW Derby was restraining order level obsessed over some perceived injustice like the wind blowing the wrong way or something and United twitter was just laughing at how worked up they were all getting.
Also at this stage if Sutton are drawn at home it will likely get moved to a bigger stadium anyway.
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 30th January 2017, 07:53 AM
A small club like Sutton would definitely prefer to play one of the big boys away from home. As Silas said, playing at the likes of Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge or Anfield is more profitable and glamorous to a non-league club. Sutton's ground barely holds 5k, Old Trafford holds around 76k. Obviously playing at home would give Sutton a better chance of winning/drawing, but that's not guaranteed of course, and generally speaking you would expect Manchester United to be professional and win comfortably.
Well, I'd argue Liverpool fans are more obsessed with Manchester United (especially when you consider that United are a bigger club!).
Posted by: Steve201 30th January 2017, 10:30 AM
I'm talking about on here though not Liverpool's twitter site.
Are united a bigger club than Liverpool? Not sure, still think Liverpool have won more trophies!!
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 30th January 2017, 12:55 PM
Both clubs have won 41 major trophies according to this:

United have won more overall with minor trophies included, 65-60. There's not much in it really, although I'd say United are a bigger club worldwide.

Apparently the FA forced the BBC to show Man Utd v Wigan and rejected their request to show Lincoln v Brighton.

Maybe in the premier league era but the 2 extra European cups takes away from the fact untied have 2 more league titles imo!

If you want obsessive tho y'all should check the mirror. Liverpool twitter day after the NW Derby was restraining order level obsessed over some perceived injustice like the wind blowing the wrong way or something and United twitter was just laughing at how worked up they were all getting.
Both sets of fans are obsessed with each other, it borders beyond pathetic sometimes. Who is worse though? Man Utd without a doubt. Liverpool never sing about Man Utd unless we play against them. Can't remember the last time I watched a Man Utd game where they didn't wheel out some Liverpool based song no matter who they're playing...
As for who is the bigger club, then in modern times it's Man Utd no question. But football wasn't invented in 1992! That said, I don't think there's too much in terms of worldwide success. It's apples and oranges. If you ever meet people from the Southern Hemisphere especially, lots of people I've met support both Man Utd/Liverpool (unheard of in the UK). They're just football fans.

Not sure how likely that is. Although can't be upsetting one of the big boys.

Sutton United drawn at home to Arsenal! And Man United drawn to Blackburn.
Myself and practically the rest of the world will be wishing for Sutton United to cause the biggest shock in FA Cup history.

What a fantastic tie for Sutton United - I hope BBC show it and Arsenal put out a full team!
Posted by: Dobbo 30th January 2017, 10:57 PM
Amazing draw for Sutton, I was kinda hoping for a Sutton vs Lincoln tie then the winner would play a big team in the QF's but they fully deserve this huge game for their progress in the cup this season.
It's a shame all the Prem teams were kept apart, I think it could easily be a boring 8 Prem team quarter final slog bar maybe the odd surprise.
Blackburn away won't be an easy game compared to our first 2 ties but we should be able to manage it in amongst all the other comps.
Posted by: Silas 30th January 2017, 11:24 PM
I'm mildly thrilled that we got an away draw so I don't have to shell out any cash now this month when I'm saving for the states.
Blackburn is a decent draw. Should see us nicely into the quarters. No prem v prem draws tho will mean a much tougher quarter draw for sure.

I've been to all but two games this year and around Christmas we did a few renditions of feed the scousers but that's no about your club it's about the whole of Merseyside coz the two cities hate each other (oh hai Manchester ship canal) other than when we played you I can't think of any. Yesterday's "are you watching" was only because you got giant killed and if the shoe had been on the other foot you'd have done the same thing.
We have more of the big domestic trophies (league & FA cup) as well as a FIFA club World Cup which is cool but we lose out on European titles. Globally our support obliterates yours (we are huge in china and India) Looking at the other metrics were well ahead . We've got more revenue, bigger sponsorship deals, bigger stadium, more valuable brand, more debt, worth more in terms of how much it'd cost for a takeover.
Commercially there's not a club on the planet that holds a candle to us but from a purely sporting POV there is so little to split us
Posted by: Houdini 30th January 2017, 11:39 PM
This will surely be on BBC, this match is the definition of a "David vs Goliath" tie and BBC will get more viewers than BT Sport because it's free to air unlike BT Sport. I think Blackburn vs Man Utd will be on BT Sport instead.

Good performance in extra time from Leicester City.

Posted by: Houdini 18th February 2017, 04:16 PM
Absolutely brilliant for Lincoln City! I hope they get an away trip to Old Trafford in the Quarter Finals if Man Utd can get past Blackburn tomorrow.

Manchester City scraping a replay against Huddlesfield

You feel the game against Seville will either be an absolute mauling or they'll nick a win cos that's how football works.

Lucky Lincoln City.
Disagree with you there, Lincoln City weren't lucky.
All of their players played out of their skin to get a result against Burnley. Don't knock their success it was an fantastic performance from them. They have made the FA Cup special this season and Sutton United. I'm so glad that an non-league team has reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
They fully deserve, their tie live on BBC please.
Posted by: Silas 19th February 2017, 06:29 PM
Great show by Blackburn. They put up a fight!
Want Lincoln away in the draw

Stamford Bridge it is!
Great draw for Lincoln. Either they get a moneyspinner day out at the Emirates or they give themselves a good chance of getting to a semi-final at Wembley..

Yeah what a shite draw for us 
At least it's away, £40 saved for me

Mega that is for Sutton. As if there wasn't any more motivation tomorrow night imagine a QF between them & Lincoln!
Posted by: Mack 19th February 2017, 08:12 PM
Quarter-Final Draw
Chelsea v Man Utd
Middlesbrough v Huddersfield/Man City
Tottenham v Millwall
Sutton/Arsenal v Lincoln
Either way, a great draw for Lincoln City and extra motivation for Sutton United.

Of course now there won't be replays this year for the next round.
Posted by: Mack 20th February 2017, 01:13 PM
Apologies for the fruitful language regarding to the Lincoln City quarter-final post.
I hope that Sutton do make a good account of themselves tonight against Arsenal. I think it will be 4-0 to Arsenal.
Leicester have complained to the FA about the treatment of their supporters following their 5th round match against Millwall which has been marred by 'fans' running onto the pitch at the end of the game.
Posted by: Houdini 20th February 2017, 05:12 PM
The quarter finals are going to be very competitive this year. 5 of the 8 quarter finalists will be from the Premier League's top six so it's gonna be harder than ever to win the competition this time around.
Chelsea is the hardest possible team that we could have been drawn against but we can beat them, I think the winner of the FA Cup will come from that match regardless.
Posted by: Mart!n 20th February 2017, 10:09 PM
Comfortable win for Arsenal 2-0, especially on a dodgy pitch, they face Lincoln, I think Arsenal could easily get into the semis
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 20th February 2017, 11:03 PM
Even though you're most likely going to be right, I do hope this comment comes back to bite you on the ass!
Posted by: Rooney 21st February 2017, 12:24 AM
Lincoln have absolutely no chance against Arsenal. By the time the QFs come around, Arsenal will be long gone from the Champions League. They have a real good shot at winning the trophy, as the QF tie is effectively a by. I'm sure Lincoln will put a good shift in, but cannot see anything other than an Arsenal win at all.
And I am glad Arsenal won tonight. Absolute ball bag of a show conducted by Sutton, all of it contrived for the cameras with the Sun's help. Feel sorry for their genuine fans.

Arsenal are certain to get to the semi finals, there's no doubt that. But getting to the semi finals counts for nothing if you don't go on to win the trophy, all Man United fans know this from 2005, 2007, 2009 & 2011!
I thought Sutton played quite well and had some good chances to score, they definitely did themselves proud. The substitute goalkeeper eating a burger was really funny
Posted by: Mack 21st February 2017, 08:46 AM
The substitute goalkeeper was trending on worldwide, Wayne Shaw after eating a pie and appeared on Good Morning Britain just.
At least Sutton weren't thrashed by Arsenal. It was quite a boring game to be honest.
Posted by: Mack 21st February 2017, 12:58 PM

And now that pie-eating is been investigated by the Gambling Commission over a breach of betting regulations.
Posted by: Rooney 21st February 2017, 07:06 PM
The whole pie stunt was orchestrated by The Sun. It was PR, great PR I might add, but 'magic of the FA Cup' was it bollocks. Sutton United sold out to The Sun, I can't blame them, but they allowed The Sun to basically manipulate the whole event so that they could raise their reach. Awful. No wonder the guy has resigned, he basically admitted committed fraud! I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing. Bit guess who was on the end of it all.. The Sun!!
Posted by: Mack 21st February 2017, 07:18 PM
Shame that overshadowed Sutton's match with Arsenal basically a 'novelty bet' from The Sun. He said he was aware of the offer.
Posted by: Houdini 21st February 2017, 09:04 PM
I see what you mean now. It's unfortunate that this is getting more of the headlines now but it is still funny to see whenever it gets shown on TV.
Posted by: Rooney 21st February 2017, 09:32 PM
It's funny, but it's completely staged. So there's no authenticity about it and it was done for the cameras. Like I say, the winners here are The Sun. The losers are everyone connected with Sutton United..

Posted by: Houdini 22nd February 2017, 06:22 PM
The BBC knew what they were doing by putting the Chelsea vs Man United match on a Monday night. Viewing figures will be at it's highest on a Monday night because more people are likely to be at home then, this is the same reason why they put Sutton vs Arsenal on a Monday night as well. This is probably going to fire up Chelsea's fans even more and give them more of an advantage.

Hoping Arsenal avoid Liverpool and Spurs in the semis, a draw with Man City would suit them better.
Posted by: Dobbo 12th March 2017, 06:36 PM
Well whatever happens tomorrow they'll be 4 heavyweights in the Semis, must be a very long time since this happened, you normally get at least 1 or 2 low PL teams still in the mix (as has indeed been the case the last 3/4 years now).
Posted by: Houdini 12th March 2017, 06:44 PM
I've got a bad feeling about tomorrow's match as it just seems to be set up for Chelsea to win but regardless of the outcome I think this season's winners of the FA Cup will come from tomorrow's match.
My prediction for the semi final draw:
Arsenal vs Tottenham
Chelsea/Manchester United vs Manchester City
I've got a strong feeling even if the above doesn't happen in the semi final draw that Tottenham wont make it to the final this season.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 12th March 2017, 06:51 PM
2009? Think it was Arsenal - Chelsea and United - Everton and all finished in the Top 5 that season (Everton knocked out 2nd place Liverpool and 6th place Villa too). I prefer a few underdogs in there, scarred by the 2007 Chelsea v Man United bore final.
Posted by: Dobbo 12th March 2017, 06:55 PM
Ah yes not too distant then, that Semi Final penalty shoot-out tho 
A good final that year with Saha scoring the fastest ever goal! That 2007 Final is one of the worst games of football I've ever watched...
Posted by: Dobbo 12th March 2017, 08:19 PM
So we don't have any fit strikers for tomorrow's game. This is gonna be the biggest park the bus job of all time!
Posted by: Rooney 12th March 2017, 08:24 PM
Social media reckons it's Fellaini!
While I hope all of Chelsea/Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal and Man City lose, I think it's great for the competition. Going to have two massive semi-finals and a huge final!
Posted by: Mack 13th March 2017, 08:24 PM
And a soft foul on Hazard from Herrera has probably cost the game for us.
Posted by: Mack 13th March 2017, 09:50 PM
Semi Final Draw
Chelsea v Tottenham
Arsenal v Manchester City
Posted by: Dobbo 13th March 2017, 10:06 PM
Yeah no surprise at that result tonight, looked a pretty crap game (I didn't watch it), Chelsea are just a machine, Kante coming for PFA player of the Season?
I'm expecting the final to be Chelsea Vs. Man City.
Posted by: Houdini 13th March 2017, 10:23 PM
It was obvious that Chelsea would win tonight, everything was stacked in their favour from the moment that the draw was made so I'm not too upset about the result. Chelsea have the double wrapped up now I think, I suppose we'll get a Chelsea vs Man City final.
As for United we have to put our heart & soul into the Europa League now.
Posted by: Rooney 13th March 2017, 11:28 PM
Didn't see the game but have seen the highlights. Can see why Mourinho is peeved about the red card, but for me they were both yellows. Guess the annoying thing is consistency. I've heard Man Utd went missing again, and the world's most expensive player had another average game. Massive struggle without Ibra, but at least they've won a trophy this year. At least they can't do the Liverpool treble now!
Posted by: Silas 14th March 2017, 10:02 AM
I knew this was the end of the cup run for us. We only lost by a single goal with 10 men against a team that put 4 last us towards the start of the season and are a hella lot fresher than us. So I'm taking that as a silver lining. We didn't get totally humped like in October. I was 24,000ft above SC and Georgia at the time so haven't seen the game. Not really fussed about missing it either.
Posted by: Mack 14th March 2017, 07:30 PM
Wasn't aware the world's most expensive player was playing for at least half an hour.
Posted by: Steve201 15th March 2017, 12:27 AM
Thoroughly enjoyed the game (I don't get to watch many football matches on the these days as I don't have sky/BT Sports) - glad United got beat of course but especially as it was clear they were instructed to go out and be cynical and kick Chelsea anytime they got free in midfield and that's why the red card was the right decision - it was just foul after foul, typical of a Mourinho team, good to see Chelsea win out, Hazard is just so good right now!
Posted by: Mack 18th March 2017, 11:00 PM
BBC will be showing Tottenham v Chelsea as their semifinal game. I would put extensive highlights of the Man City v Arsenal at 8pm on BBC 2 if BBC were able to do that.

It will be hopefully a fiery derby between Tottenham and Chelsea tomorrow evening.

2 great games!!
Posted by: Houdini 21st April 2017, 11:44 PM
Really looking forward to watching both of these semi finals. Man City vs Arsenal will be the more entertaining of the two as there is likely to be end to end football just like in the league match a few weeks ago. It's very hard to call both of these matches but I'm hoping for a win for Man City on Sunday just for the comedy on ArsenalFanTV
Posted by: Houdini 23rd April 2017, 04:49 PM
Pep Guardiola thought that he could arrive and the trophies would fall into his hands just like that, now he's going to be tropheyless this season. To think that the board shamelessly turfed Manuel Pellegrini out of the club before the 2015/16 season even ended, Pep has arguably done worse than Pellegrini. Claudio Bravo has to be one of the worst goal keepers in English football at the moment, he can't save a ball to save his life.
No doubt Manchester City will try to turn into Real Madrid on Thursday in the Manchester derby and Claudio Bravo will try to turn into Peter Schmeichel & Manuel Neuer all rolled into one!
Posted by: Silas 23rd April 2017, 05:19 PM
It's fine, Goalkeepers only have their best ever once in a lifetime performance against us at Old Trafford. Bravo will be as shite as ever at the emptihad.
Posted by: Dobbo 23rd April 2017, 05:24 PM
Great result really. Man City have a season without silverware under Pep & Arsenal are one step closer to all the fans forgiving Wenger & giving him another season.
For the record, I still think Chelsea will win it.
Posted by: Mart!n 23rd April 2017, 07:21 PM
Yayy!!!! Arsenal final with Chelsea and just as I predicted at the beginning of the match, should be a great final to watch.
Posted by: Mack 24th April 2017, 12:00 PM
First Chelsea v Arsenal FA Cup Final since 2002,
Very looking forward to that match. It will be fiery, I reckon.

The final game of Wengers career will be an defeat to Chelsea!
Posted by: Houdini 24th April 2017, 10:41 PM
I hope so. It's funny that some Arsenal fans have been trying to tease us United fans since yesterday about being at Wembley when we've been there 4 times within the past year and won every time.
I hope Wenger stays after the final though, he needs to keep up the good work!
Posted by: Mack 22nd May 2017, 12:07 PM
We shall see regarding Wenger after the final if he is staying or not. Another FA Cup final where a manager's future is being decided after van Gaal last season and Mourinho being appointed.
Posted by: Houdini 27th May 2017, 12:58 PM
I hope today's FA Cup final will be full of goals, a 3-3 draw followed by a penalty shoot-out would be nice.
Posted by: Steve201 27th May 2017, 03:34 PM
And a Chelsea win Houdini??
Would like a Arsenal win because Wenger is a legend and Arsenal won't know what he gave them until he's gone imo!
Posted by: Mart!n 27th May 2017, 05:30 PM
Quite an entertaining first half, Arsenal could have been 3-0 up 
most of the game Arsenal dominated in Chelsea's half, as for Chelsea a poor effort so far, could have done better.
Posted by: Mart!n 27th May 2017, 06:47 PM
Great match, Chelsea didn't perform and that dive 
Arsenal could have had 4 more back in the net, but 7 wins under Arsene that is a record. Good on them, they deserved it. Actually that's their 3rd win in the past 4 years. Shame they are not in the champions league next year after 20 years.
Posted by: Houdini 27th May 2017, 07:09 PM
I guess not.
Arsenal deserved that victory, they were the better team from start to finish. I think Chelsea's players were not as motivated as they should have been and it looked like they were still celebrating winning the league. I hope Wenger puts pen to paper for that new contract after this win!
Posted by: Steve201 27th May 2017, 10:00 PM
Yeh was a brilliant performance by Arsenal, they were bang up for it!!
Posted by: Mack 27th May 2017, 10:09 PM
Arsenal deserved to win quite an entertaining match it was.
I think Wenger was peeved to be asked by Dan Walker- BBC pundit about his future straight after the game.
Some odd substitutes from Conte there with Costa going off, Pedro as well. Fabragas had a crap game.
What was that dive from Moses? The 5th player to be sent off in an FA Cup Final.
Posted by: Silas 27th May 2017, 10:38 PM
He also chucked his black armband at the floor as he stormed off. Poor show man. He's angry coz he got caught cheating, but that doesn't mean you disrespect the black armband.

Seriously though a brilliant team effort from Arsenal. I sincerely hope Wenger doesn't decide to go out on a high. This is a team capable of winning the league.
