Me and my dad have decided the draw will be as follows: Plymouth vs Arsenal/Blackburn Watford vs Man City Tottenham vs Chelsea Middlesborough/WBA vs Man Utd Sounds good to me!
Of course it's not rigged! And I think you seem to be forgetting that Reading held Man Ure to a draw!! Hence, Man Utd / Reading.
your meant to say its rigged! dont you remember...? ...Newcastle 1-5 Birmingham, oh wait, that was deffo wasnt
Thats what it will be. I have no doubt. Then its: Utd - City Arse - Watford. Then Utd - Arse. Thats what they'll want, and most likely get.
Being slightly bored I've worked out what the draw will be (or likely to be, since it's all a lottery anyway) using the random key on my calculator. Each team is given a number according to alphabetical order, so Arsenal/Blackburn=1, Chelsea=2, etc. Quarter finals Man Utd/Reading vs Tottenham Chelsea vs Plymouth Man City vs Watford Middlesbrough/WBA vs Arsenal/Blackburn Would suit me fine, just a shame we wouldn't get Plymouth in the semis though...
CHELSKI have been lucky! Macclesfield at HOME, Forest at HOME and Norwich at HOME. What are the chances? :rant:
the FA do have a good reason to rig it though with the final at wembley, i would think they would prefer two teams from man united, chelsea or arsenal, rather than us
Oh...should have realized they've already been given numbers! In that case: Plymouth vs Middlesbrough/WBA Watford vs Arsenal/Blackburn Man City vs Tottenham Man Utd/Reading vs Chelsea Looks like we will get Plymouth after all - as long as Blackburn do the business...
My prediction is: Plymouth v Chelsea Watford v WBA/Middlesboro Arsenal/Blackburn v Man Utd Spurs v Man City
Can anyone understand the logic of the draw numbers? Their not chronological, geographical or alphabetical!!!!!! 1 Chelsea 2 Watford 3 Manchester City 4 Plymouth Argyle 5 Manchester United or Reading 6 Arsenal or Blackburn Rovers 7 Middlesbrough or West Bromwich Albion 8 Tottenham Hotspur
As for the fa cup being rigged, just some things to look at i think it is... Consider some of the teams still in the cup, here is who they had to beat... Tottenham v Cardiff, Southend, Fulham, Man City v Sheff Weds, Southampton, Preston, Chelsea v Forest, Norwich, Macclesfield, Reading v Burnley, Birmingham City, Boro v Hull, Bristol City, As for the recent cup finals... look at who they were 2006 Liverpool v Chelsea Birmingham City Man U West Ham v Boro Man City Bolton 2005 Arsenal v Blackburn Bolton Sheff Utd Man U v Newcastle Southampton Everton 2004 Man U v Arsenal Fulham Man City Millwall v Sunderland Tranmere Burnley 2003 Arsenal v Sheff Utd Chelsea Man U Oxford Southampton v Watford Wolves Norwich Tottenham
