tidus_mi2 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.


Before Chelsea they beat Millwall 4-0. Not sure if that would class as a shock, but it's still a team from a lower div thumping a team from a higher one.

Seeing as we have direct links with four teams left in:

Blackburn - Yakubu
West Brom - Steve Clarke
Bradford - Parky
Liverpool - Rodgers

It's bound to be Utd/Preston or Arsenal away

In order of preference

Bradford H
Bradford A
Blackburn H
West Brom H
Villa H
Blackburn A
Liverpool H
Man Utd H
Man Utd A
West Brom A
Villa A
Arsenal H
Liverpool A
Arsenal A

At this stage, the priority has to be the optimum chance of qualifying for a first semi final for 85 years rather than a big day out and being on live TV. We've done that many times in my lifetime but we've never been to a semi final in it.

I'm putting it out there, Blackburn away is far from the worst option

Seeing as we've never so much as got a draw against Arsenal ( if you discount the 7-5 game which was 4-4 at full time) , i'd put Arsenal at home as a worse draw than Liverpool away.

Really want a home draw, but will happily take any draw apart from Liverpool/Man U away

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

Managers facing their old clubs? Add WBA.

+1. Game's over before we've played it when we play Arsenal.

I think you'll find that the runners up in the final no longer qualify for the Europa league (assuming winners have pre qualified). Change in rules' the next available place goes to highest place Prem club.

Only true of the League Cup. Fa Cup runners up still get a place if the winners gain a better European place.

The draw is on Monday at half 7 on BBC1 before Preston v Man United so you don't have to watch the One show
