February 16, 201510 yr How Bradford v Sunderland wasn't shown on either BBC or BT Sport..... Very bizarre indeed. Surely they would have picked to show a fifth-round match with Bradford City considering they caused the biggest cup upset for many years.
February 16, 201510 yr Last eight draw Liverpool vs Blackburn Rovers Bradford City vs Reading Preston North End/Man Utd vs Arsenal Aston Villa vs West Bromwich Albion

Surely they would have picked to show a fifth-round match with Bradford City considering they caused the biggest cup upset for many years. They had to pick their matches before the replays and, therefore, didn't want to risk having to hype up Bradford v Fulham. The BBC have said they would have shown Bradford if they had been able to wait fro the replays.
February 16, 201510 yr Arsenal's draw will be a good match if Man Utd win tonight, but I prefer Preston to win tonight
February 16, 201510 yr Last eight draw Liverpool vs Blackburn Rovers Bradford Town vs Reading Preston North End/Man Utd vs Arsenal Aston Villa vs West Bromwich Albion Bradford Town. :lol: Liverpool against Blackburn would have been more interesting if it was at Ewood Park. Preston or Manchester United against Arsenal is going to be an interesting tie either way.
February 16, 201510 yr Nice! I'll take that draw :D Blackburn are a decent team mind ;) They even won at Arsenal in the 2013 FA Cup but the draw could have been worse. Villa West Brom should be tight, Reading are quite a good Cup team so should be a stern test for Bradford.

Villa West Brom should be tight, Reading are quite a good Cup team so should be a stern test for Bradford. Decent team yes, but I would take anyone at home and we're a much better team. Shouldn't be losing that game, and if we do, well then Liverpool really deserve the criticism that would come! On paper this is the 'easiest' the cup has been in a long time. Really can't see any of the bigger teams slipping up now as there is such a realistic proposition of winning the cup.

(Europa League final I guess), but the media will want Gerrard in the Cup Final on his birthday. I think either Arsenal or Man United would be favourites against Liverpool (but its hard to call).

Unless the SF draw dictates otherwise, a Liverpool v Man U or Arsenal final is now a strong possibility.
February 16, 201510 yr It's so set up for Gerrard to lift the cup on his final appearance on his birthday, probably against Man Utd, it's been written since the first day of the 4th round! It's going to be hideous.

I think either Arsenal or Man United would be favourites against Liverpool (but its hard to call). I'd fancy Liverpool against either on a neutral ground. Be tight mind. If Man Utd play how they currently are we will tear them a new one. Problem is though that the media will not stop hampering on about Gerrard's birthday on cup final day like you say.
February 16, 201510 yr Man United fans have been screaming out for Herrera to play, for some much needed pace in the team. Tonight seems to vindicate that.
February 16, 201510 yr Man United fans have been screaming out for Herrera to play, for some much needed pace in the team. Tonight seems to vindicate that. He gives the ball away too easily though, which is why I think Van Gaal doesn't favour him. Not really sure he offers pace though... they were still slow, ponderous and static even with him in the team.

Not really sure he offers pace though... they were still slow, ponderous and static even with him in the team. Still more pace than the rest of their midfield. He's the sort of player that, given a run in the team, can become a mainstay for years.
