Birmingham at home for the next round.

Birmingham at home

[PloKoon13]

If there was ever a better opportunity to get Leicester or Stevenage away... ah well.

[CFCCAN]

Favorable draw....apparently we are favorites for the cup?   All the top teams got favorable draws...gets harder from round 6 on..

[Alex]

Good enough draw. They are going quite well in the championship but we should have enough. It is few days before we go to napoli though.

[bluegraham]

Boring draw really i would have liked a nice away darw

[General]

Great draw avoiding the other prem teams that currently this team would struggle against, realistic chance of making the last 8 now as hopefully Drogba will be back and leading the line again

[Myles_91]

Milwall/Southampton and Leicester have a realistic chance of progressing and any of those 3 away would be good if we can beat Birmingham.

I think Arsenal will lose to Boro/Sunderland but I expect Spuds and Dippers to progress fairly easily.

I'd love to beat Birmingham, get Millwall/Southampton away in the QF, Liverpool in the SF and beat them (revenge for 2006: Graham Poll etc) and then beat Spuds in the Final at Wembley (revenge for 2008 and for the old school.. 1967, plus it is "them")

If only one could dream

Birmingham at home is  a good draw for us. (Hopefully not famous last words !)

[Castiel]

Chelsea/Birmingham vs. Leicester City

[Snedger]

We are pretty lucky with our cup draws. Home to lower division oppo again! Now we just need to get there.

[CFCCAN]

If another home draw against a lower division team isn't an incentive I don't know what is...

[blizeH]

Sorry, but we have absolutely no excuse not to get into the semis, really nice draw.

[bjd]

Decent draw but let's be honest, we shouldnt even think about this match.

Right now who would bet on us beating Birmingham at St Andrews, or anyone for that matter?

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Best draw with could have got.
Would have liked Spuds at home though

[Myles_91]

I was saying a while back my dream scenario was

Milwall (away) QF
Liverpool (SF)
Spurs (F)

Not quite happened as I would have liked but still possible.

If that draw doesn't fire up the players I don't know what will. If we start playing properly we could easily find ourselves at Wembley and it would be a great chance to avenge this "100% record against Chelsea at Wembley" nonsense (Spuds) or Liverpool's two wins over us this season.

Sort it Out Chelsea!

[General]

Never has there been a better oportunity to go all the way, only 2 teams (spuds & dippers) that could bother an on form Chelsea  left in, and 1 or both could be gone by the final  ...

Theres 3 games before Tues March 6th, this team needs a bit of form and the winning mentality back please AVB

[mad_mac]

we've won the FA Cup the last two times we've played Leiceseter in the cup 97 and 2000.  Let's just hope we get the chance to play them
