vivahate Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Delighted with that. Didn't fancy our chances against Arsenal and I couldn't have handled losing to a lower league team again in a semi final. Liverpool is more than winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If we win and Arsenal wins, we are guaranteed a spot in the EL next year, right? No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'd rather face Liverpool than Arsenal but it's not even certain that we'll have to face Liverpool yet. In fact, of all the teams left Blackburn would actually be the team I'd most like to face. Just like the last 2 or 3 rounds, the draw could've been worse.

OutByEaster? Posted March 9, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2015 If we win and Arsenal wins, we are guaranteed a spot in the EL next year, right? No I thought it did - however, I am easily confused. The runner up gets a EL spot if the winner is in the Cl or has already qualified for the EL via the league? If it's a Liverpool -Arsenal final and both have qualified, then the EL spot reverts to the league and probably ends up with Southampton? I think next year it changes again and only the winners can qualify through the FA Cup - is that the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'd rather face Liverpool than Arsenal I'd rather face Liverpool in the final than Arsenal Same, but we've got more chance of getting to the final by playing Liverpool than Arsenal and again there's no guarantee that we'll even be playing Liverpool. Blackburn are going to really want this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wasn't to bothered about a win, as it was a trip to wembley. But against Liverplop an gerrard its a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powell91 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 **** sake not happy with that draw Why? Would you prefer Arsenal? I personally would but that is just my opinion I think they would want revenge after they beat us heavily in the league and obviously tim won't like arsenal so would be desperate to do them over. Dont fancy us against liverpool and yes im confident they will beat blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 **** sake not happy with that draw Not sure what you expected as we had a 66% chance of getting Liverpool/Arsenal. We've had a kind run so far in the cup, all home draws which never happens to us so eventually we'd meet a decent team. Wigan had to beat Man. City to win the cup in 2013 after an easy draw who simply didn't turn up on the day. Maybe that will happen to Liverpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn are going to really want this as well. Yeah, but we've got practically no chance of winning it now. If we'd gotten Arsenal in the semis, then maybe you catch them on an off day and ride that success all the way through to the final against Liverpool. We'd have a chance there. Instead we're playing for the privilege of being beaten by Arsenal, essentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
