FA Cup - The year of the "little" club? Is it our year?

[Fulwood Blade]

Seeing as Man U had a none event with "Wayne Rooney's" Derby County (WRDC) last night, the QF draw has thrown up something of interest.

4 of the alleged big six are all drawn away to so called lesser clubs

United v Arsenal
Newcastle v Man City
Norwich v Man U
Leicester v Chelsea

Seeing as no replays this year, it does give all of those teams a better chance with only Newcastle being a stand out away win - but being a one off game and with some noisy geordies, you never know.

What price United, Newcastle, Norwich and Leicester in the Semis?

UTB

If that happens I think our name’s on it. Don’t think it will though

The reality that most of the time one of the big sides wins it. Man City would be clear favourites but you never know I guess. Please god not a Watford last year debacle though I’d rather lose in the quarterfinals

 

[Digger]

We have a decent chance with being at home. Citeh too good for the Geordies and Man Utd are in fine goalscoring form. Leicester v Chelsea is the hardest to call IMHO but will stick my neck out and go for:
Blades
City
Man Utd
Chelsea
In the semi's
It would be something special for us to win it but owts possible innit?

1st its hardly the little club its only 5th time in fa cup history that the last 8 are all from top division & 2 of them were from 1890s. according to the odds its 300/1 but all 4 "underdogs" are home which makes a big difference. i think 3 is possible but man city are just too good on there day

Please god not a Watford last year debacle though I’d

yes but surely it was a nice memory to be at the fa cup final than not

The two semi's will be

Sheffield United versus Leicester City a re-run of the 1961 Semi Final which went to three games.

Newcastle United versus Norwich City

The Final will be.

Sheffield United versus Norwich City

I guess you’d have to canvas Watford fans to know that, I’m not sure I would look back on that much fondness

well im just thinking as weve got plenty of experience of losing big games. but day out & everything before the game watching them walk out

but 6-0 wouldve been extremely painful

 

[VictoryBlade]

Do you actually think we would ever lose 6-0 with CWAK in charge coz I don't think so! we might have a couple of goals ruled out (aka Chesterfield a few years ago) but never that score. Bobby

This'll be like that World Cup football game I played (about 25 years ago name escapes me) where after multiple efforts I finally got England to the final to meet...Scotland. Ruined it and never played it again.

 

[Iceybabey]

Have people forgotten Norwich beat Citeh early on in the season?

 

[Hartley Hare]

I pointed out to the fellas at the social club this evening that Norwich had never won the FA Cup.

On the other hand we had held the trophy no less than four times.

I felt like a dog with two cocks.

If we make it to the FA Cup final I'll shit on the pigs' centre circle.

If we win it I'll shit on the pigs' centre circle during a match. Not that anyone will see or notice though!

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

If Arsenal give us as many chances as they gave West Ham I can see The Arch beckoning...

 

[Kop Cat]

Watching Arse v Wet Spam last night, I think we could easily be in the semi final, hate to say but the Spammers could have had 3 or 4 goals.
