What a draw for Barnsley!..Congrats Sherrif.

What a draw for Barnsley!..Congrats Sherrif.

Hmmm, last time this fixture was played (Premiership 1997) the final score was 6-0 to Chelsea (BFC fans famously started singing we're gonna win 6-5 on the Super Sunday broadcast when 5-0 down).

Home draw is good but would have preferred to avoid the big 2 clubs, given that we're only one game away from a Wembley semi-final.  Still, there's always the chance of lighting striking twice in one season....

[Pelham Boy]

I had a tenner on West Brom @69.

I'm undecided whether to lay off some now (say £10/£15) at 24ish,or be greedy and wait till after the next round IF they win.

If i lay some off now i will still have a decent trading position b4 the semi-final draw,so that's probably the sensible option.

Any opinions?

I hv wba e/w at 50s

Southampton were without a manager and aren't a team who could mix it on a bad pitch against Bristol R

Not only do I think WBA are a far better team but also they are stronger

Set against that Mowbray keeps going on about how the cup is affecting their league form so he may be tempted to throttle the intensity back a bit in the cup

On balance though this is a pretty good draw for us value seekers, I'm not closing any out

[Pelham Boy]

My thinking is along these lines,say the semi-finalists are Man Utd,Chelsea,Middlesbro and WBA,i would expect WBA to be about 10/1.If they then drew Man Utd or Chelsea maybe a touch higher.

I don't think WBA stand any chance of winning the thing,so i may lay some off now and the rest after they beat Bristol Rovers (hopefully)

sensible stuff


for me with Boro and WBA still running, that final four would have me laying off too as I am on 1/2 odds final two

[Rooky9]

Boro have had so much luck in the draws for cup competitions in recent years, if they keep that up then it wouldn't suprise me to see them there or thereabouts.

It'll be interesting to see if they can get the work permit for Alves through in time.

 Yet again M'boro look on to make the last 4 without playing a top flight team. Keeps my flatmate pleased. As long as they get hammered at some point I don't mind, but I could see them making the final. You just know that if they get there Man U will get Chelsea in the Semi's.

FYP

[Indestructable]

City beat Utd twice (have i mentioned this before), but hate to admit it that i agree that utd should walk this now.

[TightEnd]

so Boro scrape through

I have a tenner e/w on Pompey at 14s, Boro at 28s and WBA at 50s..e/w 1/2the odds for making the final

current best odss

Man Utd   11/8   
Chelsea   7/5   
Middlesbrough   11   
Portsmouth   16   
West Brom   18


so I'm hopeful that I have chances with Middlesboro especially, assuming they can beat Cardiff and get away from Utd/Chelsea in the semi

Same for WBA, away at Bristol R

[Sheriff Fatman]

Time to live the dream again.

C'MON YOU REDS!

[Colchester Kev]
