Honestly worst draw for us, would have been nice to draw Southampton but i just knew that wouldn’t happen. United are better than Chelsea and they probably want revenge from our last meeting. I hate Mourinho and his bus parking tactics. Hopefully our defense can avoid doing the same mistakes we did against Juventus.

Also i’m gonna be disapointed if we don’t score in the first 10 seconds like last time... ;)

I don’t believe in fixed draws (well not in England) but the FA really don’t help themselves by having the draw done by 2 ex-players from one of the remaining teams!

Sums the FA up, one clueless decision after another.

As we play Man City at Wembley the week before, we should leave some big turds in the home lockers after the game as a present for Man Ure.

Why is everyone going on about Spurs home advantage? What a load of bollox.. I think if we’d have been called out first, using the Home changing rooms, then that could be comfortable for us. But, we now have to go to the away rooms, and I thought no that could actually unsettle us. So there is no advantage, never really was, this is a different game.

Spurs players would really be a bunch flakes if having to use a different changing room would unsettle them!

Imagine the panic when Verts can’t find his normal locker!

It’s better to get United rather than Southampton. If we drew Southampton, we’d likely think we’ve won already and come unstuck. When we’re up against it we come out firing.
We would have fucked Southampton harder than Ron Jeremy, and with less warmth.

If we can't beat Utd at Wembley, we don't deserve to win the cup.

I believe we can beat them though, so I'm happy with the draw.

Given Wembley is designed for major events such as cup finals, are the changing rooms not identical? Not going to be shit are they, with no heating cold showers etc..

Rather United than Chelsea so not as bad as it might have been, we've also had about a kind a run of fixtures to get here as could be expected so it's about time we played someone decent.

Only thing is that there is just one urinal so everyone has to cross swords.

Personally am fine with this draw - if we beat Utd and Chelsea media won’t be able to downplay our achievements and when Poch talks about the winning culture he is trying to create and the FA cup not being a big game changer - would have to be reassessed I think too

As others have said a tough draw means we can’t and won’t relax.
Remember Portsmouth, being favourite is not an advantage, much rather be the underdog, and we’ll be that as we haven’t won an FA Cup semi in nearly 30 years:(

Not too bothered about potentially having to face Chelsea in the final. Only thing that worries me about United is getting "Mourinho'd" but get through the that and it's a shootout between us and Chelsea. I'll just be excited to see us in a final and being so close to lifting a trophy again.
