I guess the draw will take place shortly. Chelsea Watford Man United Liverpool/Spurs in 30 minutes extra time I kind of hope Spurs go through and we get them in the semis.
I want Watford. Lets play either Man U or Spurs in the final. It'll be full strength teams by both clubs at that stage and a good final/day out. Midtable clubs will be happy this year as the UEFA slot looks set to revert back to the league eh
I think "somehow" we end up with ManUre, as "somepeople" would like to see Watford have the best possible chance to advance.
If we have to play 'pool, i want it too be in the Semis. They have the devils luck when they get into finals and always find a way to win - deserved or not!
Now that I've jinxed the Spuds, I'm all for a matchup with Watford in the semis, thus setting up a North/South battle in the final.
I agree with that. Let the Mancs and Scousers fight it out for the right, nay, the privilege, to face us.
They squeak through on penalties and they draw Watford, basically guaranteeing a place in the finals. Solid prediction Clan.
No surprise really. Rigged is the first thought that comes to mind. Huge game in the semis to keep interest alive and two decent sides in the final no matter what. What side will red nose play on the 10th of January is the question.
To be fair, any game not involving Watford would have been big. Liverpool vs. United isn't exactly boring.
True. But they couldn't have picked it better by random draw, really, mega-bucks Chelsea, top of the table against the 'mighty' man U. Liverpool are out of sorts - everybody knows it. They really couldn't have picked it better - which leads me to think that there was very little random drawing about it.
If it was anyone but Liverpool, I'd agree. But come on, with the exception of the last few years and Arse vs. United, Scousers and Mancs was traditionally the biggest game in the land. Or, one of the biggest.
