QF Draw (16 Viewers)

[The Great Eastern]

We lost 2 nil to Wolves away in 73 QF. Massive following that day. Time for revenge!

Couldn't remember which year that was but I was there in the middle of the South Bank. All went OTT with the Old Bill at the back of the terrace before the game started. Bits of 4x2 were broken off the ironwork by our firm and then grabbed by the coppers and swung around with gay abandon. Ohhh...'the good old days'..... NOT

It'd have been a decent draw at home.

Away going to be more difficult, though at least it's local.

If we play well and they're not quite on their game we've got a chance.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

What points bracket did the Leicester game get to at the start of the season?

What are we thinking for the QF? Make it to 800?

Wolves at home would have been better but this is a cracking draw and should be a good day out

If we can't beat a Premier league team on the way ro Wembley, we don't deserve to be in the semis.

Great for the Midlands to have 3 teams in the quarters. Beat London by 2.

Wolves aren’t unbeatable they’ve lost 10 league games this year from 26 games, and if Hee Chan is injured, hopefully they take out Cunha to rest him and thats 50% of their goals this year gone

Cunha is out for a good while injured

Perfect, Cunha and Hee Chan out can only be good things

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Its like if you took Gyokeres and Hamer out of our team last year

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Flip this draw to a home tie for starters.

Is what it is regarding home and away but Wolves isn’t the worst opposition, I’ll take it

Now we know the draw, can you go back to talking about biscuits? Asking for a friend.

Definitely not typing this because I am stoned. Definitely haven't run out of biscuits.

I watched the game over a beer or two and Brighton were the better team, they hung on for dear life, goalie could have equalised right at the end.

Should be a good game and possible.

Anyone else at the FA Cup game back in the mid 80s , midweek night game when Trevor Peake scored a late equaliser to get them back to Highfield Rd, and we celebrated like we had won the cup

Yes at all three games in cup against Wolves that year. A bit too dangerous for a 10yo to attend the massive 73 match. Wolves was my second away game in 75 and lots of trouble. Wolves had nasty fans and experienced quite a few scary moments over the years.
Grew up hating Wolves but genuinely like them now and Wolverhampton centre is ok.

We are likely to lose but should be be a good atmosphere. No bad feeling these days between fans and a proper Midlands derby.

Hope to get a ticket and will look forward to going.

Take neto out and it is

 

[fatso]

On what basis do people think this is a winnable tie!?
They did an absolute job on West Brom, they are decent at home.
They will be all out for a Wembley semi-final with nothing to play for in the league.
Really is a shite draw.
Would have fancied us more away Vs Leicester.

I love a bit of positive thinking.

I remember some c#£ts saying the cup run was over in 87 when we got drawn against Man utd at Old Trafford.

Nearly 37 years later and it looks like the same c%^ts are still at it.

Yep, slung out of Molyneaux that night.

que Sara sara wherever we’ll be we’ll be

 

[covcity4life]

Woke up this morning feeling less negative. Other than Leicester this is the game that gives us best chances to make semis. Shame it's away but oh well. Let's see what we can do

You don't know the Doug King song very well at all do you.

 

[edgy]

I'm over the disappointment of the team drawn and the venue. Now it's knowing its unlikely I'll get a ticket.

 

[skybluejelly]

If we had have been promoted last year this would have been one of the games we would have hoped to have got something from , far better to face wolves now than Man City or Chelsea , the biggest disappointment for me is sakamoto being injured I would love to have seen him turning there players inside out ,

I was straight into humming along then a sudden lack of lyrical adeptness?

I used "negative" and rhymed it with something about a sedative, but then had to stop there. A bit stumped really.

I remember this quarter final fixture in 1973 . Went with my old man. We filled South Bank. Great atmosphere .
Oh...we lost 2-0

Great for the Midlands to have 3 teams in the quarters. Beat London by 2.

Millwall got to a final in the early 2000s without beating at top level side.

We filled half of the south bank, nightmare in the subway in and out. Team didn’t turn up.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

What allocation are we getting then. About 4,500?

 

[Alex1987]

Will the fixture date/time be announced today?

 

[San Francisco]

What allocation are we getting then. About 4,500?

Typical allocation is 2750. Not sure if that’ll change for cup games.

 

[ccfcricoh]

Semi-finals:

Man City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Coventry

Not bad company at all, i'll take Chelsea and then beating Klopp in his last game after they get knocked out the champions league in the semis...

Nah....it'll be more than that. 15% min. requirement for the cup.

Their official capacity is 32k so we should deffo get over 4K but It just depends on their segregation policy etc.
