[Finance] FA Cup - Round of 16 draw

[crodonilson]

The 4th round may have been fairly uninspiring but the Round of 16 draw has thrown up some absolute corkers. Ties played midweek, 3rd to 5th March and I believe as with recent EPL midweek games they will be staggered between 7:30 and 8:15 kick offs.

Pick of the round is undoubtedly the potential 'Wazza Derby' as it's being billed, you just couldn't have scripted it, Rooney back in English football against the giant that is Manchester United where he became a club and national legend. ALso Chelsea v Liverpool is an absolute corker potentially.

Sheffield Wednesday v Manchester City

Reading or Cardiff City v Sheffield United

Chelsea v Shrewsbury Town or Liverpool

West Bromwich Albion v Newcastle United or Oxford United

Leicester City v Coventry City or Birmingham City

Northampton Town or Derby County v Manchester United

Southampton or Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City

Portsmouth v Arsenal

Surely you mean Massive v Citeh, there's no bigger tie.

Their be no love loss between Leicester, Coventry and Brum. Maybe to jazz up the sleeping giant that is the FA Cup they should play a three way match on a specially designed pitch.

It would help with fixture congestions as well.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Anyone know when the Round of 16 draw to decide the starting line-up for West Ham is taking place?

 

[Surf's Up]

I've just soiled my pants in anticipation.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Justice]

About as interesting as can I take my man bag to football.

Is it only me that gets irritated by this Round of 16 phrase? It's the 5th Round FFS, always has been.

Would love to see a 3 way match between 3 teams who hated each other.

I'd love to know the odds on Shrews beating Liverpool's kids - worth a punt!

 

[brakespear]

I don't really get why Enrest got pelters for ages (including from me) about doing the same old joke all the time but crodo just gets indulgent smiles.

What's preventing you from looking up the odds?

tbf bet365 only has the outright odds (to lift the cup) at the moment....

I haven't seen any odds quoted for the replay yet on the couple of betting sites I visit.

You can get 9's on Liverpool winning the whole thing which is huge given their form this season and only that big because of them saying they will play the kids in the replay. They won't be 9s if they win that game.

 

[crodonilson]

Derby recording record breaking sales and unprecedented demand for 'the Wazza Derby' in the Round of 16 next Thursday night, sold out and they reckon they could have sold the IPro twice over.

 

[crodonilson]

Chelsea v Liverpool in the Round of 16 tonight, end to end stuff, really easy on the eyes. 1-0 Chelsea, are Liverpool collapsing?!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Good news, means we SHALL play Liverpool on the Monday night, and avoid any possible fixture congestion.

 

[vegster]

Liverpool not happy with Chelsea's pressing tactics, they are not able to play out from the back and looking very suspect all of a sudden.... they'll still win the league though.
