FA Cup 6th round, Leicester v Chelsea

[give_us_a_wave]

I'm fine with this. You've got to beat a top side at some stage to win anything & of all of them Chelsea are the most likely. They can be shockingly wank some weeks & we can nail it on our day.

Also it's directly after the Cheltenham Festival, so I'll either be ordering Cuban cigars or looking at eating beans on toast for a month by the time we play. In either case the football will be a welcome come down from 4 days of madness.

Could have been worse. We're at home, and it's a winnable game. With the crowd behind us and players up for it , we'll win this one.

 

[lazzer]

Not the worst outcome.

 

[Brown Nose]

That draw stinks from top to bottom. Not for the first time this season.

Dodgy stats and fake news. Ignore the bad news people, the FA Cup is GREAT!

 

[Graz]

Shit how all the big teams avoided each other.

I’d prefer Chelsea at home though to the other big teams left in. Hopefully we can upset them and one of the others can pull something off too. And at least there’s no replays.

Does the draw increase the chance of 7th place giving a Europa league entry?

Yes. Would rather win a trophy though.

Isn't this to be played after their second leg v Barcelona? Could be they don't give a shit if they win that or they could have a caretaker in charge. It's at home so I'm content enough.

 

[Miles Away]

Indeed. I’m not one for conspiracy theories but this all looks off to me.

Yes, they play at Barcelona on the Wednesday before this game.

There is then an international break straight after the game.

Let’s hope they are still in the tie come second leg.

Pretty sure there are 5 big clubs in this draw.
