Shouldn't really be losing to anyone there, tbh.

Liverpool vs. Arsenal
Arsenal vs. Manchester
Manchester vs. Liverpool

I have feeling there will be one from the above.

Liverpool vs Blackburn Rovers.
Villa vs WBA
Bradford vs Reading
Preston/United vs Arsenal

Great draws.

4th March Burnley home,
7th March FA cup game Balckbrn at home and
16th March then Swansea away...
nicely arranged for us to go through imo :coffee:

And Balotelli wants Gerrard to win a trophy so it's very favorable :coffee:

Obviously an excellent draw for us, a lower league opposition at home while ManU and Arsenal face each other. Even the two other Prem sides face each other Thumbs up

Ifty, Calma, there were high chances that one of the draw was going to come.
I would take ManUtd any time compared to Arsenal, in finals or semi finals. I think beating Arsenal is difficult compared to ManUtd.

I also feel we may face Arsenal or United in SF while one from the following will be in the other SF

Villa vs WBA
Bradford vs Reading

If Bradford win I could see them getting a 'favourable' draw. Though I would much rather play the winner of United/Arsenal in the final. That prestige. Smile

I would much prefer 'favorable' draws. Our players look really stretched. But as I said before, 'smaller' teams as more likely to give everything than MU/Arsenal.

Unlike you guys with all this prestigious this and that, I rather hope we get Bradford/Reading in the semis and Villa/WBA in the final Laughing

by Helmer Wed 18 Feb 2015, 19:36

I just considered the case that one of them would make it for sure otherwise I dont care. I am happy to beat a team who beats the likes of ManUtd/Arsenal who in turn beats the likes of ManUtd/Arsenal :coffee:

It would feel a little weird winning the FA cup if the toughest teams we had to beat were Crystal Palace and Villa/WBA. Not that I would mind.

I also find myself in two minds about which one I'd like to win the ManU v Arsenal tie. United winning is never fun, but I think Arsenal are actually the better team out of the two this season and I would feel more confident facing United rather than Arsenal if it went to that.
