[Albion] FA Cup QF Draw Wed 1.3.23

[dazzer6666]

Yep, they're coming to our plaice!

They’re going to get battered

 

[Sheebo]

Europa League, I think.

Nah it goes to the league plaice…

 

[Weststander]

Palace on the preceding Wednesday…lots to look forward too.

We’re well plaiced to make it to Wembley.

And without wanting to tempt fate, or get too far ahead, if we can beat Grimsby, imagine getting the winners of Blackburn V Sheffield United in the SF.

Oh my days

 

[Triggaaar]

Woo-hoo! As near perfect as we could have hoped!

Best tie for us, but if we're being greedy (and we are) City away to Utd would have been perfect. City will have no trouble against Burnley, and there's a good chance we'll have to beat both Manc clubs to win.

 

[Lawros Lip]

Should I be buying up shares in inflatable seagulls ahead of this match?

Erm yes you are getting ahead of yourself!

 

[portslade seagull]

Well that was a very nice draw for us.

My sisters were organising a get together (few days away every couple of years) - and chose April 22 w/e. I sort of jokingly said 'had a quick look - it's FA Cup semi-final weekend - I might be busy, ha,ha'. Glad they took it more seriously than I meant it now!

 

[Simonf93]

utd in europe on the thursday, chances are they will get the last game on the sunday….. will we be saturday night i wonder as the big tv audience

 

[Official Old Man]

Watching the Saints Grimsby game I kept thinking would I prefer Saints at home or Grimsby. Which team could we beat and which would come fired up with 4500 fans. Maybe I'd rather Saints.

 

[Bodian]

Erm yes you are getting ahead of yourself!

But that's precisely the fun of the cup surely? Plotting the draw ahead!?

[SeagullinExile]

Fantastic draw.

 

[GT49er]

If the FA Cup winners qualify for the Champions League then the Europa League place goes to the next highest league position to not qualify. This would normally be 6th place.

The FA cup runners up haven’t been given the European spot for quite a few seasons now.

Yep - apologies - misread the OP as 'winners', not 'finalists'.

 

[Triggaaar]

If Man Utd / Man City qualify for the champions league places within the league, do the FA Cup finalists get the European place up for grabs?

Asking for a friend.

No

 

[Eric the meek]

I just hope we don't flounder and can negotiate a smooth-hound passage into the semi-final.

 

[LamieRobertson]

But that's precisely the fun of the cup surely? Plotting the draw ahead!?

For some….I just take it one game/round at a time …….any side who has got this far is a big threat

 

[Swansman]

Four PL teams left.
Not going to get a much better chance than this.
