FA Cup 6th Round Draw Thread

[Rick_Muller]

5 nil? ( somebody has to say it ! )

I don’t think we’ll score that many but who knows!

[Devils_Advocate]

Can we have it re-drawn

We got Grimsby away in the practice draw as well

[whiffa]

ffs...

[SalouClaret]

Everyone saying fix... you realise we could have drawn them at any point prior to the quarter final but yet, magically, we didn't. It's not a fix you goons

[Hibsclaret]

But Fleetwood lost

[karatekid]

Well we’ve struggled against lower league teams in the cup so why not?

[FCBurnley]

F off Shearer

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Awful draw
The one we did not want

[tiger76]

Funny how both Manchester clubs get home draws.

And Rovers with a fair shout of making the last 4, either they or Sheff Utd guaranteed a trip to Wembley.

I thought good when City were 1st out less chance of us getting the poisoned chalice, but typically after reaching this stage we draw the biggest fish.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was even a home game, but no it's at the bloody Etihad again.

[Elbarad]

Well I hope we put out the first team and see how we'll stand up next year. Still.... so harsh.

[FCBurnley]

VK will enjoy it

[burnleymik]

Always away too.

[karatekid]

Benson will destroy them, fresh and fit.

[Billy Balfour]

Big game for the lads. At least we'll give them a game, and who knows, we might just do it. That's the beauty of the cup.

[hoskinsgoalatswansea]

Oh f*** ***, just f*** ***. All this does is give City an opportunity to schmooze Kompany for the future.

[dermotdermot]

I demand a recount. Shearer shouldn’t have been drawing both home and away teams. It’s not fair. I just knew tha number eight was coming out.

[willsclarets]

Worst draw possible. Such an opportunity too gutted

[dougcollins]

VK will enjoy it

I think he would have preferred a winnable tie.

[HiThere]

While it was as predictable as they come, the plus side is we're promoted and we get a challenge. The biggest challenge by far by any other Premier League side, so it'll be interesting.

[Nonayforever]

I'm proper deflated now.

[Tufty]

Did they really have to make the draw so soon after tonight's games ? Why not let the fans bask a little in their achievements from tonight before bringing them right back down to earth with a **** draw all round.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Oh well it was a nice feeling for 20 minutes. Absolutely tragic draw.

[karatekid]

We haven’t lost yet lads

[Pearcey]

We’re gonna do em! COYC!!

[Devils_Advocate]

Everyone saying fix... you realise we could have drawn them at any point prior to the quarter final but yet, magically, we didn't. It's not a fix you goons

That wasn't really Alan Shearer doing the draw. it was David Copperfield wearing a Shearer mask and if you watch him carefully you can see him palming a number 8 ball ready to produce as soon as Man City was drawn first

[Spijed]

Promoted as champions and reached the Quarter Finals.

I'll take it.

It'll be our bloody luck that Rovers get to the final and win the thing and steal all our thunder this season

[HiThere]

The neutrals will be loving this tie.

[Cirrus_Minor]

It is difficult to be disappointed when we have just qualified for the FA Cup quarter final. A big tv day out, money in the bank, and a free hit against UAE fc in our best season for donkeys years.

[SydneyClaret]

2 hot balls in that draw for sure.

[distortiondave]

Gutted for Grimsby to be drawn away at a complete non-entity in their historic cup run.

[LTUK89]

I’m so upset with that draw. What might have been…

[tarkys_ears]

I AM SHOCKED

AREN'T WE ALL SHOCKED?

NEVER DID I THINK EVER EVER EVER DAT WUD APPN!

[NRC]

it might change.... ESPN haven't featured it yet, we're still watching highlights from all four games

[NewClaret]

Never felt so gutted travelling home from a win in my entire life

[RVclaret]

At least we’ll go there and give them a game unlike our performances there under SD.

[bfcwest]

Great draw, I think we will win. Massive statement when we do.

And to those claiming it’s a fix….WTF

[Billy Balfour]

I've just read back at some of the comments. So glad that some of you don't have anything to do with the club. If you did, the lads would be defeated well before the ref blew for kickoff.

[tiger76]

I'm proper deflated now.

Yeah! at least we know we've got the league to collect, but given the amount of lower league clubs anyone but City would have done, even Utd wouldn't have been as daunting and we've already acquitted ourselves reasonably well at OT this season.

What's the odds the Manchester clubs are kept apart in the semi's if both get there, which they likely will.

[HiThere]

At least we’ll go there and give them a game unlike our performances there under SD.

Just said the same thing to a mate of mine.

Under Dyche there was no point turning up - literally. Now at least we can give a decent account of ourselves.

[tarkys_ears]

Well we'd have to either beat them now or in the final.

Could make things easier for when we get to Wembley!

[SalisburyClaret]

Wonder if we’ll play the fringe players for this

[Vino blanco]

We will get plenty of tickets and it’s not far to travel. You never know.

[Ampth7]

That’s the luck, or lack of it would seem, of the cup draw. FFS!!!

Well done lads, here’s an away tie against a billion pound team as paid for by an oil rich country!?

[nyclaret]

Wonder if we’ll play the fringe players for this

I was just thinking this - surely he's got to go full strength

[COBBLE]

Yes bad luck but a chance to see how we measure up against the top side in the Premier League before the summer transfer season. I am sure Vincent's young squad will run themselves into the ground trying.

[Clarets4me]

Got them in Cups in 2018, 2019, 2020 ....

To be fair, we have had a 2 year break from them but then we go and get them in our first FA Cup Quarter Final in 20 years !
Were balls 6 & 8 dipped in hot water for 2 minutes prior to the draw ? Asking for a friend .....

[CrosspoolClarets]

I’m sure Shearer was saying ‘8’ before he looked at the ball.

To add insult to injury, they get an extra day’s rest playing Leipzig on the Tuesday at home whereas we are away at Hull on the Wednesday. Then we get an international break so they don’t have to worry about what comes next.

Would have been better getting United with Weghurst ineligible if those are the rules.

[Hibsclaret]

There is no buts to this draw. It just stinks.

[ynot]

Worst draw possible. But on the bright side, if anyone knows how to beat City, it's Kompany

[Billy Balfour]

We are through to the last eight and people are crying. Some are even saying the draw was fixed. Embarrassing and pathetic.
