Would've been nice to draw a home match, but still have to like the chances of making it to the Final.

The game is played at a neutral venue anyway so we have certainly got the best draw possible.

This means that we are one game away from Europe.
Being as both Chelsea and Liverpool are likely to qualify for the Champions League via the Premiership, the losing finalist will inherit the EUFA Cup slot for the FA Cup winners - I think.
So all we have to do is beat Charlton/Middlesboro and we are pre-qualified for Europe, safe in the Premiership and can play the final with no additional pressure.
Not a bad end to the season that.:p

I never post on here, usually just read and digest your informative comments but I had to just to say I’m deliriously happy about the draw. I was certain that we'd get one of the big guns so the FA would get their dream final (the cynic in me was coming out there).
Best chance we've had to win something since before I can remember.
Happy days!!:D

Don't get me wrong, i'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched. We've still got to get through the semi first of course.

After the replay. I hope Charlton go through as it will be in London for all local fans.

No that would completely suck for our fans, there is no venue in London nearly big enough.

Stamford Bridge holds 42,449. If that's not big enough you could always see if you can borrow Twickenham from the rugby people - you can get 75,000 in there! :)
