What the hell was Niall Quinn on about 

[Solomon Grundy]

awful draw, wanted a trip to Sheffield or Derby

Compared to what we could've got it's hardly awful.

[Vork+The Knights of Good]

Big teams all kept apart.

Might have something to do with us being the only big club remaining.

[diegoLFC7]

I hope we draw Bournemouth at Bournemouth. Nice little town.

I am Robbie Fowler.

[sms1986]

Hopefully Derby can pull off a upset and beat Chelsea. We should be able to beat Bournemouth, but you never know with cups. Spurs and Newcastle could go either way, and I think Sheffield could give Southampton a scare.

[farawayred]

Not a bad trip with the semis on the horizon...

[Solomon Grundy]

Bournemouth away is a good game. They will try and play football which will suit us. Would've preferred them at home though, but you can't have it all your own way I suppose. Could've been a lot worse. Could've been Chelsea or Southampton away.

Black & White Paul doesn't like this

[apassant77]

Would have preferred sheff united as allocation will be low at Bournemouth

Higher lad, I use to have pictures of you on my bedroom wall, you my hero

[Nick110581]

Be a tough trip but could have been worse.

[DyingAtheist]

Could have been much worse. We can hardly complain about away at Bournemouth when we're in the last 8 can we?

[farawayred]

Liverpool - Newcastle in the final. Easy 4-3 win in the extra minute of the second overtime. That would be something, these are usually very entertaining games.

That commentator from last night has got into your head

[DutchRed]

Black & White Paul doesn't like this

Why would he mind him calling Tottenham a small team?

[No Appreciation of Liverpool Opposition]

when was the last hard draw for Chelsea? and don't give me a quarterfinal in the CL i'm talking a real, harder to get a good team than a bad one. Jammy bastards.
Happy for Newcastle and Anyone but Chelsea winning it from here on out does me fine.

[lalchitri]

My maths teacher was an avid Bournemouth fan going back 30 years ago.
Beautiful part of the country.

We got an easier draw than Chelsea. Derby could be very tricky for them IMO.

[lalchitri]

Didn't we play them last season away as well in a cup competition?
They seem to have improved a lot - battered Birmingham 8-0 away last weekend.

[jdpapa3]

Not loving that travel in between Manchester United away and Arsenal.

[Red_Rich]

Is Naill Quin on drugs oir something.

Avoided 4 teams that I didn't want there.

Chelsea/Spurs/Newc/Soton

We'll be in the semis.

No doubt, but seriously when was the last time?
Last Year Arsenal 4th Round for League Cup.

Yeah, beat them 2-0 in the FA Cup down there.

good point

[JackWard33]

Great draw- can't ask much more than playing a non PL side for a semi final place in a cup

[JackWard33]

Not loving that travel in between Manchester United away and Arsenal.

for the squad?? doubt they'll go by national express to be honest.....
for the fans its shitty

[JayH93]

How long til they set a day?

[lfcmaster]

Not loving that travel in between Manchester United away and Arsenal.

take a plane to Southampton and then hire a coach

would be surprised if we drove a bus down there

Eggsackly

[Alonso_The_Assassin]

Good draw, IMO.

We win, you can bet it'll be us against Chelsea. Always different, always the same.

[Kopenhagen]

Good draw. Hopefully Derby manage to pull off the upset somehow against Chelsea.

Whoever Chelsea drew they are favorites, only us and Southampton stand in their way, surely you didn't want us paired with them in the draw.

[b_joseph]

Definite tv game with the upset potential. Game to be played a few days after we play at Old Trafford and before we play Arsenal at home..so unlikely that we will field a really strong team.

Great chance for a trophy at this point though.

[nfletcher23]

Decent draw, Bournemouth aren't a bad side at all but would take that away to the likes of Southampton/Chelsea, good chance of at least the semi's now!

[McSquared]

Not a bad trip with the semis on the horizon...

Would be a long trip with a semi on

[Get em Kells!]

[theMilkman]

Potentially tricky but really no excuse for not making semis.

[Gaz123456]

Destiny awaits.

Doesn't matter who we play or the lucky / unlucky draws, it's about perfoming on the day, and when we get it right, we get it right better than anyone.

Bring it on.

[SwordInYourGut]

Bar chelsea, we cant justify losing to anyone from this point. I have my hopes up for a trophy

What did he say, I never watch cup draws in case I jinx it.
