at home...,lovely stuff...fans could be a bit lively!!!

cardiff at home

Nice one! Really hoped for a home tie and got to be happy with the draw:)

Was hoping for an away tie against Cardiff before hand, purely because I could've gone to see it - typically, we get a home draw! Oh well, come on the Blues!

Full Draw

Southampton v Portsmouth

Reading v West Bromwich Albion

Fulham v Notts County or Wigan Athletic

Chelsea v Cardiff City

Bolton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur or Leeds United

Derby County v Birmingham City

Manchester City v Stoke City

Wolverhampton Wanderers or Crystal Palace v Aston Villa

Some good ties there. I am very happy with who we have got. This is the best opportunity that we have to win back to back FA Cups.

:unsure:

Decent draw for us and with the results tonight, we are top favourites to keep it in the cabinet. A home draw probably means an easier game without the home support for Cardiff, so we can definitely see some youth getting a share of playing time.

No complaints and no excuses if you lose.

it's good to know we can rest some players (not too many Carlo) and should be able to get through to the quarter final..we're having a lucky draw so far this season, like last year when first prem league team we faced was arsenal in the semi

99% certain if we get to the semi's again, we'll have either Villa or Citeh. I'd put money on it.

Fairly nice draw for us. We shouldn't have too many problems with them.

Bring on the 'rigged' shouts...

lol, do we ever get Premiershop teams? :unsure: shame innit!

Those two and Spuds will be our rivals for the Cup. No doubt about it, one of the four will win it this year.

Wasnt so long ago we used to moan about tough draws all the time. We always seemed to get them! Out of the last 20 League and FA Cup draws it will be interesting to see how many have been at The Bridge!

Kind of balances out though. Apart from 07-08 we are always guaranteed tough draws in the CL.

to be fair to cardiff though, they are riding high in the championship so it won't be that easy, although i hope we win obviously

I'm confident that we'll beat you - we only lose to crap teams. We'll definitely win if you don't play a strong side.

I just heard that Robbie Fowler is leaving his Aussie club. Please don't tell me that he is going to re-sign with Cardiff City?!

Chelsea v Leeds could be a 40th anniversary final!

Would love to beat Spuds or City in the final!! Good draw for us.

A repeat of the Leeds final would be awesome...

That would be something special! I've got very vivid memories of those two games (can't remember anything from three days ago though!)

my dad went to both games, we watched on TV, I remember dad saying he would give us all 5 quid if Chelsea won. Soon as he got back from the reply me, my sister and brother stood at the front door with our hands out! It was a lot of money in 1970!

A repeat of the Leeds final would be awesome...

Ditto. My mother was at boarding school when Chelsea won the FA Cup back in '71. Would be great to have a repeat of that final. If it happened, the neutrals would probably want Leeds to beat Chelsea. Back then it was the other way round with the netutrals wanting us to beat Leeds.

Hate to put a dampener on all this final talk but we're only in the last 16 and

Cardiff will be well up for it, although I'd like to think we'll be too strong for them at home.

Fingers crossed for a Happy 40th!

Work some more magic up there Ossie!

Very good draw. Hope we win this cup :D

Fairly nice draw for us. We shouldn't have too many problems with them.

To be fair we always have tough CL draws, and if the other Prem teams wouldn't keep losing then maybe we wouldn't have such easy draws.
