Rigged, FA doing everything to help Man City to win the treble or quadruple.
We'll win against Chelsea and foil their plan.
Come on devils

FA Cup 5th Round Draw | Away to Chelsea
- Thread starter Gandalf Greyhame
- Start date
City (H) will be moved to April, unless both teams lose in the 5th round.
I had a feeling we were going to get Chelsea and tbh, I’m delighted! It will be tough as it always is when we go to Stamford Bridge but I’ve got faith in this team that they can put in a performance and get a good result. Chelsea won’t exactly be jumping with joy that they have been paired with us as they know we are a different team under Ole than what we were under Jose. Bring these assholes on!
Good. Would rather have been at home but it's another big challenge to be able to judge Ole a little better before the end of the season.
The last 2 games were live?
No replays as far as I am aware2-2 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.
I got it anyway.
Feels like the good old days where our draws are never easy.
We will beat Chelsea.
We will beat Chelsea.
I reckon Wolves could be a dark horse for this now.
Well then. We’ll just have to win at the bridge.
An easy draw at this stage or at least a home one would have been really benificial. Anyhow, guess our team selection at the time would depend on how close we are to the top four at that point of time.
Might be dealing with a lot of tired legs , by then

Given their pretty secure position in the PL table, FA cup should be where Wolves put their best efforts. Not sure how they'll handle United, City, or Chelsea, but it's all they have to worry about.
I don’t think you can ever expect a team to win a Cup as it depends on who they draw. I’d usually measure expectation based on whether we should progress or not so if we were knocked out by Doncaster, the team should really have progressed so that’s a negative whereas getting City away and progressing could only be seen as an extraneous positive and not just meeting expectations!
Considering Ole is a caretaker and considering the circumstances he took over in, I feel that beating Arsenal (A) was probably the limit of expectations and if we drew City or Chelsea, we’d as a club have to give Ole and the team a pass and just hope he’s exceeds expectations.
It’s interesting regarding Ole and the Cups what’s par for the course or what’s exceeding expectations. At this moment in time, he’s exceeded expectations in the league, surely the club couldn’t expect him to beat PSG and how this draw affects expectations for the cup. Obviously, if the cup draw was akin to 15/16 we’d probably expect another FA Cup but it’s been difficult this year.
Just to say - I’m not saying we couldn’t beat Chelsea away, PSG, etc. In a normal season, expectations would be higher however it’s more me questioning what’s par for Ole and what’s exceeding expectations regarding the Cup!

Nice!
A second chance of beating Chelsea at their own ground this season makes the fixture even better—a win would be so much tastier, especially after what happened during the final moments of our last visit there.
Be sure of it: they will be the ones shitting their pants. Dear Ole and our players will relish this opportunity.

If we knock them out though, there is only really City in the way.
Ole would like to win the cup and top4 finish.
The money men wanted a good game for TV, so they fixed it. Not a difficult thing to do. If we win this game, Man Utd and City will be kept apart in the next draw until wel meet in the final.
Would be nice if PSG signed Willian today.
Looking at that Bournemouth performance, it's easy to get complacent. They battered them for the 1st half then fell apart.
It's just important to play it like the Arsenal and Spurs games;suck them in and hit on the break, take the chances when they come.
They are really struggling with motivation under Sarri and it reminds me of us under Jose only not as toxic. However players are such flakes these days, they sulk for anything

Meh he's having a shit season. wouldn't be worried about him at all
Interesting game

Seems to be a player that produces against us though, at least in my mind.
they're having a right mare at the moment, might be a good time to play them.
They could be playing hoofball in League 1 and I still wouldn't be confident playing them at Stamford Bridge. Our bogey team (that isn't called Burnley).
If we win the cup this year, it will certainly be the hard way. Tough draw even if Chelsea our out of form at the moment. Lets just hope Higuain doesn't choose this game to become a star...
KO confirmed for Monday night at 7.30pm. We play PSG 6 days before and Liverpool 6 days after.
feck off with these weekday fa cup games. Basically going to have to follow text updates since watching it drains too much data on my phone
Good rest between the games I see. We can try our best in all of them and see what will happen.
Wifi?
New job, we dont seem to have access to wifi on our personal phones while the laptop I have has most things blocked (but also since I'm new, not yet ballsy enough to stream it at work). If the games are at 3 (20:00 gmt) then I can catch the last 30 but 2:30 kickoff means I miss it all sadly.
How is it that we get consistently shafted with these ko times in the FA Cup?
Yeovil - Friday, Arsenal - Friday, that's twice now we've had Chelsea on a Monday. Joke

Bad for the travelling fans, but gives us more recovery time after the PSG game.
Knew this would happen. The cnuts don't want us to have extra rest days before Pool game. Would have been perfect if it was on Sunday.Are lads still apprehensive about this game after last night?
Game at Stamford Bridge
Playing against a big team like United
They will be fired up for it, even if they don't like their manager.
True but we’ll be fired up too. Most pundits would have made Spurs and Arsenal favourites before we played them too.
I’d prefer them to be giving us no chance
Oh ya. My point was we cannot treat them as a nobody just because they lost 4-0 yesterday.
Point taken
Bournemouth is over and Ole is experienced enough to know that game means feck all
We won’t be fired up at all then?
They are easy to play against at the moment.Luiz is there to be destroyed by Rasher.
I never said we wouldn't be. Just don't expect it to be a cakewalk because Bournemouth did it.
