At least, we didn't get Millwall away. That would have been another smashed bus and a few injured United fans.
FA Cup 5th Round Draw | Away to Chelsea
- Thread starter Gandalf Greyhame
- Start date
Imagine if we beat Chelsea and draw City away
We really can win this tittle.
Imagine if we beat Chelsea and City get knocked out. Anyway I'd like our next tie to be City if they advance and we beat Chelsea. Might as well knocked 'em all out before the final.
It's time for another victim.
Bring them on,another test.They will be facing a different Utd to last year.
Well if we are to win it we’d probably have to beat them at some point, so bring it on! 
Not sure all the moaning.
Beat them and only City can stop us realistically. Really good chance to win the cup.

City are fecking loving this. Us taking all the hits for them.
This sucks, another top4 rival to knock out and lighten the fixture load of.
Oh, I think you just jinxed it mate.
In any case, if it’s been 8 years, we are due a win. I'd prefer it to be a home game or City vs Chelsea, but this is still another excuse for a few beers win or lose!
Also if we go out it's less games and if we win then City would be the only real challenge left.

The meltdown will be something else.
He won't rest anybody for the EL. Its not worth the risk.
That's more important than the FA cup. If anything they'll rest players against us.
Love it.
Another really good test for the players during a transitional period for the club. Helps to properly evaluate the playing staff.
Think it’s all positive.
If we win in a fixture we don’t do well in historically - fantastic!
If we lose, our fixture list lightens in the battle for a top 4 place.
Will only be negative if we get a real hiding there & I’m confident we won’t.

Oh feck off, not away to the Chavs again!
Not sure why everyone is moaning. This is exactly what we want in order to evaluate Ole. Plus, everyone moaning about Chelsea never getting a tough result. They draw us and people are still moaning. I bet you Sari is none to happy with the draw. I don't think many teams want to play us right now. We get a result against PSG in the first leg and then we'll do Chelsea. Watch this space!
Cannot say I'm to bothered, we are better than Chelsea, faster, better transition, better forwards, better midfield. Better goalkeeper. Our defence is suspect but I see goals, just we will score more. Bring it on.
7 years to be exact. 3-2 with Chicharito scoring the winning goal after they went 2 man down in 12-13.Oh, I think you just jinxed it mate.
If you go on to win the Cup after this route you’ll deserve it.
Bring on the Chavs.
We've got this.
We've got this.
That would be so hilarious you know it’s guaranteed to happen if we do get past Chelsea
Surely not. We definitely beat you in Fergie's last season in charge and that was less than 8 years ago.
@StamfordBridge Man United have recorded only one win in the last 15 years, and that came against a Chelsea team who finished the game with nine men in 2012.
We beat you 1-0 at the Bridge in 10/11 in UCL quarter final first leg.
Suppressed that one. I stand corrected.
I'l stop watching football if they keep fixing draws like this. The Emirates sponsor both the Fa Cup and Arsenal. How is this allowed?
I think the game comes in an already tough schedule which I don't really like. As much as I like United and Ole to win a title this season, I think if we get a good result against PSG in the first leg and are still on good course to a top 4 finish, it would be the best if we just sacrifice the FA Cup and try to get that Champions League spot.
Anyways, we can win against Chelsea even with a mixed team.

That's a bollocks draw, I'd literally had taken anyone else anywhere else but we never ever get any feckin thing at the bridge. This Chelsea aren't even that good but we'll still get nothing. If Ole comes up with a win here give him a 10yr contract
To RAWK with you!
It's a fecking pisser, only 2 top sides to avoid from 15 teams, but at the same time it's another challenge for Ole. As you say, let's imagine he comes through it with a win. The hype will just grow again, as will the morale and the confidence. It's another tough game for us to see how he is tactically, how he manages the team. I'm already convinced by him, but for those who aren't what better way to demonstrate his credentials than winning at a place where we've won twice in 17 years.
Man I hate the Bridge. Just despise it.
We always play well there(bar that 4-0 debacle), but we just get robbed constantly.

Yes 98 was outrageous we went up 5-0 I think with about 20 min to go them let them try to catch us!Had some great cup games v Utd over the years. 94 final which lets not talk about (when Kharine dived same way twice for each pen!!). 96, nice one Burley you plum. Always remember Pete's starjump trying to stop Ruud's header. Think it was Schmeichel anyway
98 was nuts, i think another 15-20mins and we'd have made that 5-5
No good moaning about hard fixtures this is what late winter and spring is all about - we need United to get seriously involved in these type of fixtures again. Also what is an easy cup draw? Doncaster at home? That could turn out to be a nightmare scenario.
Ouch!
feck me
I wouldn't mind playing Chelsea when the schedule was decent but in that already busy and hard schedule, it's annoying. I'm sure we can beat them but our players will need rest at some point.
Ridiculous the bad luck we have. City actually have a decent chance at the domestic treble with the way things have panned out
We can beat Chelsea of course but it’s just another high intensity game at a time when we could have done with an easier tie

I'd rather draw Liverpool to prevent them winning the title. Oh wait..
Joking aside with our poor records at the Bridge ole might want to give the kids a chance. UCL and top 4 are more important

2-2 draw, back to OT for the replay with a 2-0 win.
Oh, and if we progress in the CL, get results against, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and City. Ole HAS to be given the job. Anything else would be a travesty.

PSG in the Champions League, Arsenal and Chelsea away in the FA Cup. That’s a spicy meatball!
