FA Cup quarter finals draw (United at home)

[Free Falling Foxes]

My predictions for tonight's draw are:

 

Presenter and guest making the draw will engage in some tedious, inane conversation for far too long. Their chat will also include one of them saying something very slightly light hearted and they will both laugh raucously.

 

When our ball comes out, we'll get the, 'Four times finalists but never won' comment.

 

When two of the 'Big clubs' avoid each other, someone on here will speculate that their balls are warmed beforehand.

 

When a poster gets one of their predictions correct, they'll follow it with another post quoting their prediction with a 'Told you' type comment added.

 

Have I missed anything?

Couldn't they just wear thermal underwear?

I think we'll get Man U.

I'm not sure why people want Bournemouth. Exactly the type of game you know we'd slip up in 

 

You'd prefer a PL club then?

[Lambert09]

If its fixed this will be the draw   Bournemouth- Man City   Manu - sheff u         Chelse-wolves/southampton        So we will be playing everton.

 

I expect 100 rep points if this is accurate

The 1/4 final draw always seems to separate the big clubs. 

Tbf, Man Utd haven't exactly had the easiest draws so far. 

Man City always get a good draw,so expect them to avoid Utd or Chelsea. 

 

We really need to get over our 1/4 final curse though. 

 

Even a semi final appearance raises the profile of the club and gets our young team used to playing in games that are within touching distance of silverware. 

 

Although it hasn't done Spurs much good😄

[Sunbury Fox]

Really hoping Man City draw Man U and Chelsea get Everton away. That would give us the best chance of reducing the number of big 6 clubs whilst giving us a winnable tie.

[The People's Hero]

Has to be Chelsea or Man City doesn't it.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Who ever it is we're out.

[winteriscoming]

Can see us getting Wolves or Southampton. So not the easiest game but not the most difficult. Somewhere in the middle. 

[jimsmallman]

We all know United v City is being saved for at least the semis...

 

Should probably take my tin foil hat off 😂

Not sure I can stand another game v Wolves!

[Guest StevieLynex]

Are we still number 21.

[Raw Dykes]

It's going to be Man City.

[Blarmy]

Barnsley.

When the people drawing the balls comment on the ties 'that'll be a good match' for Southampton v Chelsea or 'what have you done?' if the two Manchester clubs get each other despite it not being a big shock at this stage.

[StanSP]

Got a feeling we're getting the winner of this game.

 

Man Utd vs Man City
Bournemouth vs Barnsley/Chelsea
Wolves/Southampton vs Leicester
Sheff Utd vs Everton

Is the draw on YouTube?

Everton away please. The only quarter final we have won in living memory (League Cup last season on pens)...

 

... or, more to the point, anyone but Chelsea or Man City.

We nearly blew a quarter final a few year back against Fulham think that was our last quarter final win since Everton 

[HighPeakFox]

I'm always baffled by people getting angry about us losing before we've lost. I find it even more baffling that people get worked up about a free draw before it has happened. Que sera sera.

[coolhandfox]

We need to start converting these visit to the Qtr-Final to Semi and Final appearances

 

3 League Cup Qtr-Finals and 2 FA Cup Qtr-Finals in the last 4 years and we have only got to 1 semi. 

 

C'mon boys 1 FA cup win and we have completed the set........Dream Big

Suppose we will all sit through the charade tonight just to find out our opponents. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
