FA cup quater final draw 7.45pm UK time

[Gerard]

I'm not one to squeal fix because it would mean trusting the ball drawers to never say anything but in last year's FA Cup the big teams avoided each other every round until it was impossible not to.

How the hell could this be a fix?? Is was on live tv 

Agreed .... if its on TV it must be true

I sincerely hope Vincente did have anything to do with the alleged fix though.  A second 6 year ban could spell the end of his career

[420Hashish]

We got Chelsea at home. Not bad. Definitely do-able

[NorthfieldsFox]

Fix  we are a serious team at home and we are a big side 

 

If it was a fix we would be away to Chelsea

We've got to play Arsenal on the same day

Apparently we're playing Arsenal and then once the match is over they're going home to allow Chelsea to come onto the pitch.

I can imagine the multi millionaire Michael Owen being given his 'hot and cold balls brief' from the FA big wigs before going on live TV in front of millions.

 

Absolute bollux.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Michael Owen couldn’t even open the ball bag no way he’s clued up enough to be part of a fix

I wouldn't read too much into their Barcelona game on the preceding Wednesday.  There is an international break the week after the quarter final and a high chance that Chelsea will have been knocked out of the Champions League by the time they come to us, making the FA Cup the only trophy they could win.  The FA Cup game will likely be moved to the Sunday, if not Monday night, giving Chelsea up to 5 days to recover which is ample time.  They then have nearly two weeks before their next game.

 

Actually think it will be a cracking good tie and I'm so glad we are at home for it.  It's going to be tough, but possible.  One to look forward to for sure.

[Max Wall]

May be a lesson in here for Drinky if we can put Chelski out. You feel this is their only real chance of a trophy this season. Let's hope we can let their tyres down.

[peterborofox]

As said already.... Chelsea have the second leg of the Barca tie midweek before 

 

Guess in that case we should hope for a lunch time Saturday kick off and extra time for them in midweek too!

[Phube]

Best be on BBC not BT Sport!

Maybe it won't work this logically, but Leicester and Chelsea were both already scheduled to play the Saturday, so would make sense to keep it then as fans would have kept the date clear. Man City and Man U were both scheduled for the Sunday, so likewise might think they are likely to play then. We definitely won't play on the Friday anyway, and I am praying we don't play the Monday as I will be stuck on a plane then...

How does it being in TV mean it wasn’t a fix? There’s all sorts of ways you can tamper with the balls and I don’t trust anyone involved in this game.

 

It’s way too convenient that the big teams all avoid each other again.

Now we'll probably have to beat three top six sides to win it which is asking a helluva lot.

 

We may be in the QF but our chances of winning the competition are not much better than they were before Fleetwood. I'd have been much happier about this draw if two of the big guns drew each other.

Nah! Rochdale and Wigan will get through...

Agreed ... Very fishy yet again!

[foxfanazer]

Very winnable if we’re on it. Haven’t they got CL the following week?

Makes me embarrassed to be a Leicester fan sometimes.
