Dr_Pangloss Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's a shame the semi finals are being played at Wembley, totally ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I actually think we could beat ManU, with a little luck. Liverpool's energy would be a handful. The national spunkfest over Slippy G and his impending retirement is what will do for us if we get 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'd like to avoid Liverpool and Arsenal. Think we could take the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Edit: none of the below is right at all. Looks like I didn't understand it. From what I just read/understood from the rules is if the winner of the cup already qualifies for the Champions League, runner up gets a spot in Europa.

GENTLEMAN Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's a shame the semi finals are being played at Wembley, totally ridiculous. I know. Should be played at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Is there any pattern of whether the bigger* semi-final is played on the Saturday or Sunday? * bigger in the opinion of the national media, eg. Manu vs Plop instead of Villa vs Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted March 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'll take anyone. We're at Wembley and there is always a chance whoever we play. Preferably Bradford*, but I think we can give a good game to whoever makes it. We're looking much, much better and if we come out thinking like we can do it then there is no reason why we can't if we keep our heads. We must be able to play the big teams if we're going to win the thing. *in the final! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The FA cup has got Liverpool already being carved into it. Id love it if we got to the final and beat them but cant see it at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Bradford would be the dream - would love to stuff them at Wembley as revenge for 2 years ago. Having said that, losing to them again would be infinitely more dejecting than losing to say United or Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Has the rules regarding qualification for Europe in the the FA cup been changed?? They have unfortunately:- "Should the domestic cup winners qualify for the Champions League, the cup runners-up will no longer be granted a spot in the Europa League, and the spot will be given to the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions."

So will that be the 7th placed team in the league or the 6th, seeing as chelsea won the league cup? Edited March 8, 2015 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I fear Liverpool more than anyone. Van Gaal's United are beatable and Arsenal are still chokers as shown with Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
