FA Cup Quarter-final Draw (16th Feb) 19:35, BBC1.

[Ernesto]

I think it would be just as pleasing to beat them this season as it would have been in any year under F***uson. Equally, it would be devastating to lose to them (given just how poor they've been overall, the fact that we could lose out as holders of the Cup to someone who could win it and overtake our FA Cups record)

Meh, I didn't much like this Cup anyhow

Dont you think that statement says a lot about the competency of our manager when we have to question whether he can even get his squad to turn up for a match like this? Dont get me wrong.. I can see something different in the team since the Man City win (despite the Spurs loss) but the last thing fans should be worried about from a top team should be "Is my team going to turn up?"

IMO Wenger's two major flaws are a lack of tactical nous and motivation. His successful sides were simply better than everyone else, you don't need to be a tactical genius when you've got Henry and Bergkamp up front and people like Pires, Vieira and Overmars in midfield. And you don't have to be a motivational master when you've got a captain like Adams or Vieira.

Wenger has never been able to get an inferior side to win a title, which is a problem with the billionaire cheats around. And he's always needed a strong captain which is a problem because we haven't had one for years.

I do have hope for this tie though because I do think we are better than Utd this season - no idea how they're ahead of us, they've been on a ridiculous run without actually playng well - and I do think this side have a bit more character than those over the last few years.

one positive of this draw is that the increased allocation of away fans means a chance to get myself a ticket for it.

Couldn't you get into home games?

[Marc Overmars]

Manc game is Monday 9th March.

Apparently there are no trains scheduled from Manchester to London that night. Meanwhile a midlands derby gets the Saturday evening slot. Where's the logic in that?

Nice work, BBC.

[Master Splinter]

BBC have ruined the FA Cup more than BT.

And BT have Michael Fucking Owen.

Why can't it be played in the Sunday afternoon slot?

Take their money and they own your arse.

They are ahead of us courtesy of that nauseating win over us at the Emirates. take away those 3 points, give them to us and things change. Overall its sad that we are behind that mish-mash of caviar and potatoes managed by a Turnip

Ug.

By all accounts we were actually pretty good that day, just CANNOT beat them. How many 'king games have we outplayed them and lost?
I fear the same in the quarter finals but we do have enough to beat them. Whether we will...

[AFC Leveller]

We will have to be careful of Rooney's cheating. It seems everyone apart from Woy and the media has realised that this man is a cheat. 10 years ago he dived to end our unbeaten run and even admitted so to the players after the game, the other day he told the preston goali that he had to dive to get a pel yet the media and england manager refuse to admit it even though the player himself is openely saying so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is on Monday evening?

I'll make the Semi-final draw thread.
