Unbelievable Jeff Do you think Club will put on free coach travel IF we get an away draw?

No.

I would want to bring Parky back to the Madstad, and with only 8 teams left we've got a much higher chance of it happening this time.

Now Bradford are through, we have to fancy home to them.

Sure, it's a banana-skin, but, in reality, a fantastic chance to get to Wembley

Yes, memories of City away, take a tiny allocation and blame the other club when they refuse to increase it after 24 hours. Who's genius idea was that? Don't think they ever fully admitted to fcuking up

Villa look very ordinary.

Arsenal look awesome

Perfect Draw:

Arsenal V Blackburn ( Arsenal goes through so when we play them in the final we'll get into Europe regardless )
Manchester United V Liverpool ( 1 big team goes out )
West Brom V Villa
Bradford V Reading ( trip to valley parade and our away form seems to be better than home form at the moment )

Wishful thinking? :D

What happens if we get into the semi finals with Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd and they get into Europe via their prem league position do we get to Europe even if we lose??

It absolutely has to be:

Bradford.

I'd be happy enough with:

Villa
WBA
Blackburn @ Home

Will be f*cking fuming if we get:

Arsenal
Liverpool
Man U
Blackburn Away


8 of our last 9 cup draws have been away from home. We are absolutely due some fortune, a favour in terms of a nice draw. Cup Semi-final at Wembley would be like reaching a Final for a club like ours. If we win one more FA Cup tie this season my RFC-supporting life will be complete, I probably won't even ever post on Hob Nob again :!:

That Bradford pitch was certainly a leveller, away draw at Bradford pls.

Hull were the last team to benefit from this rule. Changed after 2014 final. Now goes to next PL team not in Europe already.

Oh and HOME draw please......

I'd prefer:
Reading v Bradford
Liverpool v Arsenal
West Brom v Villa
Man U v Blackburn

Leading to:
Reading v West Brom
Man U v Arsenal

Leading to:
Reading v Man U

Big game at the Mad stad to welcome back Parky, then a clash at Wembley with Steve Clarke's old side. Followed by the biggest game possible, Utd at Wembley in the FA Cup Final. The story there would be unforgettable.

Like this although I'd swap QF & SF. Much as I like the Baggies, Parky deserves a trip to Wembley

I think 2 shocks are all Bradford are going to get really and will most likely go out next round, the players should know at this point not to take Bradford for granted, Chelsea and Sunderland are now a testament to that.

Would love Bradford at home for the nostalgia value all a Parky.

It will be Bradord or Liverpool. Either manager of those clubs facing their old club.
