doesn't that remind you of someone?

It does indeed.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Ah cock, Chelsea away.

 

[EvilIrwin]

With the draw coming up, I surely can't be the only one thinking, "Just not Chelsea."

 

[Santoryo]

Feck we got Chelsea away.

 

[Red Dreams]

Ah cock, Chelsea away.

did not want that but will be a tremendous match.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Easy draw

 

[Sandikan]

In fairness, Chelsea away is bad, but we wouldn't have exactly been delighted with City, Arsenal or Tottenham away either!

 

[sunama]

Oh man CFC.
The one team I did not want was CFC.

[Al-T]

Worst draw possible plus Spurs, Arse, Berties all kept apart.

 

[TMDaines]

Bugger. Worst tie possible of 14 possibilities. Chelsea best team in the country and someone we underachieve against generally.

 

[PoTMS]

No replays from the quarter finals onwards. It'll be hard keeping them out for 120 mins on their home turf. To be fair though, I'd rather go out earlier if we can't beat the big boys than go to the end and create a fixture pile up and then lose. Quietly optimistic.

 

[Red Dreams]

Is this on March 12th?

 

[simonhch]

You can't expect to win tournaments without playing good teams. Excited for the draw. Let's see where we are. Cup game, could go either way.

You can't expect to win tournaments without playing good teams. Excited for the draw. Let's see where we are. Cup game, could go either way.

We won it last season with West Ham being the best team we faced. Arsenal will most likely make it to the semi finals having faced Preston, a U18's Soton and two non league sides.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

We get Chelsea away. If Arsenal beat one non-League team away, they draw a non-League team at home.

Let's beat Chelsea

Wait, is that a new thing?

 

[Red Dreams]

Toughest team away. But we have Ibra

 

[JustAFan]

That'll be the end of our defense of the cup.

 

[TMDaines]

Bugger. Worst tie possible of 14 possibilities. Chelsea best team in the country and someone we underachieve against generally.

Just remembered no replays now in the quarter finals, right? Gonna have to do it the hard way.

 

[Hugh Jass]

I was just disappointed as I thought especially after Rashfords goal we would of kicked on and not had to rely on Pogba and Ibra to get us out of the shit. Shows how poor some of the reserves are.

At home yes. At home we would have won 4-0 or thereabouts, but not away from home.

Its the same pattern in all our away games this season. We grind out wins.

 

[Red Dreams]

That'll be the end of our defense of the cup.

never write us off.

 

[PoTMS]

Wait, is that a new thing?

Yep, starting from this year.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Out of interest, what does Ibra have to do to show he is premiership class? I have been critical of him from time-to-time but to say he isn't PL class is a bold statement.

I didn't mean that as criticism of Zlatan. I meant to show how silly it was to say Rashford wasn't Prem level because of one poor touch.

 

[Alek M]

All 5 in the back should be worried

 

[Devil may care]

Job done, it was an old fashioned grimy FA Cup tie against a team with nothing too lose in crappy conditions, and we did what we needed to do.

 

[RaptorSlo]

That kind that entered for Blackburn towards the end seems like quite a talent.

 

[wolvored]

Ibra scores the winner and he gets 6.5.

If I wasn't using my phone I'd post that crazy green emoticon

What would you give him 11?

 

[Valar Morghulis]

Sign a player based on 1 game?

Commentator said he's been impressing in the Championship and he's free, at the very minimum we'd make some money out of him. Looked pretty talented and unfazed when he came on, definitely should have started. Signing him on a free would be a shrewd move.

 

[Sultan]

That lad Conor Mahoney looks class. Interesting he's a free agent this summer. We should definitely sign him up.

He played against Darmian. Just saying.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Ffs Smalling vs Costa....please no!!!

 

[Valar Morghulis]

He played against Darmian. Just saying.

Skinned the most expensive player in the World as well

 

[Leftback99]

Good result but terrible draw. Apparently we've only won twice at Stamford Bridge in 15 years.

 

[SirAF]

I guess we're well buggered if we drat at Chelsea

 

[Klopp_De_Klown]

Fairly routine win, we were not really out of second gear. Blackburn deserve credit were plucky and were there until the last whistle, were slightly tougher than i'd thought they would be. They probably feel like they could of got another. But on the balance of it 1-2 was the right and fair result.

Good to see a few rested and still get to strech the legs. Think this is a good day in the office for us if there is no knocks or injuries. Well happy.

Chavs at the bridge next round. Bring it on!

 

[Sultan]

O'Shea nutmegged Figo, one of the best of his generation.

 

[SirAF]

Just one thing. I see that the media are picking up on Mourinho "applauding" the Blackburn goal, he's done that before and it was most likely more of a "come on lads!!".

 

[stu_1992]

Job done, not the best game obviously but most important thing was the win. Shame we got the hardest draw possible in the next round.

 

[M4YON]

Nobody else find it strange that of all possible draw results every top team avoided each other bar us, the current holders.... some people still believe these draws are random

 

[Raees]

Excellent result rather than performance if that makes sense. Really important game and one of those where a LvG side and Moyes would have capitulated under the intense pressure Blackburn put us under and made me miss Ewood Park as it is a big ground with a nice atmosphere.

Lively game and we done well to get out of that. I hope we get a home fixture next!
