I like it when people on here (except scottass) instantly dismiss our chances just like they did when he had to go to stamford bridge (i correctly predicted a draw may i add). COYS

 

If anything I'd have thought you wouldn't have liked it.  How strange.

We have seen how s*** your defence it, tbh.

 

Dawson is world class, Better than Terry tbh.

 

Not sure about that, obviously a fantastic player but when you are playing behind the mighty "Hudd" it makes life a lot easier.

Football was more honest in the olden days so when Bert Millichip and co were touching the cloth bag down at Lancaster Gate there was nothing to be suspiscious of - hence Wimbledon, Coventry, Brighton, Palace and the like reaching FA Cup finals. However, in recent years...

 

 

1993

Arsenal v Tottenham

Sheff Wed v Sheff Utd

Two big derbies both played at Wembley, hmm. Kerching. CON!

 

1994

Manchester United v Oldham

Chelsea v Luton

Man U Chelsea kept apart to stop a minnow in the final. CON!

 

1995

Manchester United v Crystal Palace

Everton v Tottenham

Man U get the easy tie so can they face one of the old big 5. CON!

 

1996

Manchester United v Chelsea

Liverpool v Aston Villa

4 decent teams, but you can bet they wanted Liv-MU Final. CON!

 

1997

Chelsea v Wimbledon

Middlesbrough v Chesterfield

They f***ed up somewhere else earlier down the line. NO CON! 1998

 

1998

Arsenal v Wolves

Sheff Utd v Newcastle

Umm, Arsenal v Newcastle please. CON!

 

1999

Manchester United v Arsenal

Newcastle v Tottenham

4 decent teams anyway so probably a fair draw. NO CON!

 

2000

Chelsea v Newcastle

Bolton v Aston Villa

Again, nothing exciting so they took their chances - NO CON!

 

2001

Arsenal v Tottenham

Liverpool v Wycombe

Arsenal-Liverpool as they wanted. CON!

 

2002

Arsenal v Middlesbrough

Chelsea v Fulham

Arsenal-Chelsea kept apart? Ooh, surprising. CON!

 

2003

Arsenal v Sheff Utd

Southampton v Watford

Again, some refs musta f***ed up to let 3 shitters that far. NO CON!

 

2004

Manchester United v Arsenal

Millwall v Sunderland

The cold ball was obviously not cold enough for Brookings hand!

 

2005

Arsenal v Blackburn

Manchester United v Newcastle

Ahh, that's more like it. They stuck the ball in the freezer overnight this time to make sure there was no repeat of last year. CON!

 

2006

Liverpool v Chelsea

Middlesbrough v West Ham

Not sure about this one. FA must have a thing against Jose.

 

2007

Man U & Chelsea in different Semi-Final draws for the first game at the new Wembley? Surely not. CON!

 

 

Quite simply put in an FA equation...FA semifinalist = 2 good teams, 2 s**t teams = draw fixed to keep big teams apart. See 94, 98, 01, 02, 05 and 07. 96, 04 and 06 are the only years in the past however many where the two giant teams have been paired together. Hardly sticking to the 1 in 3 ratio - 3 out of 15 years.
