Didn’t see the draw, did we get the Saturday or Sunday draw - was this confirmed?

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
So we're long overdue a win against them.
Don't think that has been confirmed yet.

As the first team out doesn’t that mean we’ll play on the Saturday?

So (and apologies if this has been discussed - cant be bothered to look), if Sanchez handball was given (and it was very close), would he have walked? or just a free kick, as obviously it would have been accidental?

Our best chance of winning it was really only in getting Sheff United, not because that is an easier SF for us, but having the 2 Manchester clubs potentialy in the SF, maybe the best chance of stopping Citeh who have as good as a bye into the final, no disresect to SU, but they aint as good as Burnley who were totally demolished.
Of course we live in hope!, but somebodies gotta beat Citeh and it wont be SU imho, after maybe the easier tie of the QF now, we will have to win it the hard way.
At least if its isnt us, the upside is extra europa league PL place

Au contraire mon ami, we're won
Their player was about a meter away so it would have been a straight red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity. Picking the ball up with two hands outside the penalty area is not considered accidental.

We were meant to be playing Citeh on that Sunday. Sheff U, Man U and Fulham on were meant to play on the Saturday.

Solid.
I'm so excited by Ferguson and what he can achieve. I'm probably more excited by him than any of our other players, he's just so good and he's only 18.
I liked the little I saw of Ayari, good feet and seems very confident. Him, Ferguson, Enciso, Colwill, Sarmiento, Buenonote all 20 or under and all getting game time. If we can keep this group of players together over the next couple of seasons we could have a hell of a ride. (yes yes, it's unlikely/not going to happen yada yada)

In that case, the FA will probably move it to the Sunday.
We'll probably find out in the next few hours.

On 19 October 2022, on his 18th birthday, Ferguson signed his first long-term professional contract at Brighton keeping him at the club until 2026
And probably with a +1 one year option, I would imagine.
Wouldn't rule out him signing yet another contract soon though. He's by far the most valuable player of his agency and they are of course rubbing their hands right now. Club might want to try to keep them quite happy by providing him with a new contract reflecting his new status in the team.

Well the woodlouse made it out of the treacle, it wasn’t moving freely, seemed (at times) to be veering off to one side… eventually it made it home, with a tale or two to tell.

Brighton striker Evan Ferguson to BBC One: "It's what we were looking for. We obviously wanted to go to Wembley so we had to get to the semi-finals. It wasn’t an easy game because you have to break down teams like that who sit off."
On his first goal: "It was more an instinct, it just came to me and I tried to swivel around and get the best shot off. I was lucky it went in."
On enjoying his football this season: "It's been unbelievable, playing in my first season here. Credit to the lads, they've been good to me and have encouraged me when I've played."
On whether Brighton can continue making this season special: "I think so. We’ve got the hope and the desire to get to Europe so that’s our ambition and if we can keep on going and winning games we could get there."
