Good bump, terrible thread
Chelsea easy FA cup draws
- Thread starter FootballHQ
- Start date
It was about time you lot got a difficult game.
Glad you never saw how we played today... We went back to the disjointed Frank days. It was tedious and we were lucky..
I feel a bit differently in CL because two legs make it harder to win as an underdog but in the FA Cup I'd prefer the best team in the semi, especially when manager of said team has only ever lost one final!
Excuse me ? Did you not see the cl draw we had.
Group stage
Sevilla your conquerors in the el the year before and winners
Rennes where camavinga plays.
Krasnodor home of the most complete midfielder since lothar mattheus, Mr kristoffer olsson himself
And the after we scraped and survived that group we got atletico top of la liga
And now the team that knocked out cr7s Juve.
Just not fair.
Play City in the semis or play them in the final. Have to play them at some point 99/100.
At least having them in the Semi means if somehow go through will feel confident for the final.

I wish we can face our issues and stop the conspiracy theory about other teams. We would have had an easy route to the finals had we done our job today.
It’s not acceptable that Leicester beat us 3-1 and could have scored a couple more. Guess I am livid....

How is that relevant to this thread? Plenty of other threads for you to express these views.
I'll just say for the record that the Scousers don't get easy draws either.
Chelsea fans say "well what about the champions league"? Well yeah, I'd expect you to get a hard team or two in Europe's elite competition.

Well if they get past City they've got another easy draw in the final the absolute shithouse cnuts
Not our fault if you get yourself dumped out by one of those "easy" teams.Well if they get past City they've got another easy draw in the final the absolute shithouse cnuts
me myself? I don't play football

From the above tables, Chelsea have never got a top team (Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool or later City etc) in the 3rd or 4th round.
Roman’s rubles still carrying weight in Nyon, it seems…
Teflon armor when it comes to draws, even if they're retaken they still stick with the easiest possible 
And they finished with 2nd in their groupTeflon armor when it comes to draws, even if they're retaken they still stick with the easiest possible
Laughably lucky team.
First kind RO16 draw in seven years and fans of a club that have drew Olympiakos and Sevilla in that time are triggered
God bless you sir. I've been putting fires on my own this morning. I'm clocking off, be back to relieve you in the morningFirst kind RO16 draw in seven years and fans of a club that have drew Olympiakos and Sevilla in that time are triggered
I was actually going to leave this one but after seeing some of them (on the other thread) contradict themselves 're Atletico I couldn't help myselfGod bless you sir. I've been putting fires on my own this morning. I'm clocking off, be back to relieve you in the morning
God bless you sir. I've been putting fires on my own this morning. I'm clocking off, be back to relieve you in the morning
Hmmmmmm
I wonder how much cash Roman parted with to make that draw happen again.
I had my fingers crossed sir.Hmmmmmm
Lovely, although Lille will be a fight.
You've posted that shite before, cherry picking our CL draws, and as has been pointed out to you before we've drawn Real Madrid, PSG and now Atletico in 3 of last 5 Round of 16 draws.First kind RO16 draw in seven years and fans of a club that have drew Olympiakos and Sevilla in that time are triggered
You've also drawn Olympiakos in the round of 16. And Copenhagen, and Galatasaray and now fecking Lille x2.
Then on that basis surely it's more ridiculous your fans are moaning about us given we've had one of Barca, Paris, Bayern or Atletico in our last 5 RO16 draws before today no?
If we stretch back further then you will also see a Cavani inspired Napoli, Juve, peak Jose's Inter and a further three clashes with Barca (two of which with Ronaldinho at his absolute peak).
I'll happily admit we do seem to get it freakishly lucky in the early rounds of the FA cup, but people saying we get similar fortune in the UCL almost sound as silly as Covid conspiracy theoriests.
Last five R16 draws for both sides before todays draw:
Chelsea: Atletico, Bayern, Barca, PSG and PSG
Utd: PSG, Sevilla, Olympiakos, Real Madrid and Marseille
Too easy.
Chelsea couldn't get easier draws if they'd handpicked them themselves.
Tuchel with his dark magic.
Chelsea fans brought up the CL to deflect from admitting you get piss easy FA Cup draws every single year especially in the early rounds.
I never said you get it easy in the CL although you have been incredibly lucky today to get Lille twice.
The first post about tofays draw on this thread is from a United fan.
It seems that an admittedly good run in the FA Cup has unleashed the inner conspiracy theoriest out of some of your fans, and the funniest thing is, they've completely backing themselves into a corner of contradiction as the two "hard" teams you drew today we've drew a combined 3 times in recent years

Again I haven't said anything about you being lucky in the CL draws.
Just that you're incredibly lucky in the FA Cup.
No we didn't, many have openly admitted we've been lucky in the 3rd and 4th rounds historically.
The CL 'easy draw' thing is a myth though, as evidenced.
Probability of getting Lille twice was 6.345% or 1 in 15.6. Lucky yes but certainly not unrealistic
Yep after one another post about how we will get a kind draw "as usual".
And as it turns out, our "kind draws" of recent years heavily involve the two teams you drew today, whoops!

People getting mad at our draws is even more fun than actually drawing an "easier" side.
Can we please just learn to accept that these draws are completely random? So what if UEFA chiefs are currently getting high from sniffing caviar off the tits of fine Russian models provided by Roman. Let them have their fun, they've had a tough day.
This shit is going on years now, it's an absolute joke. Lille twice in the same day after finishing second, never change Chelsea haha.
