West Ham are not in the last four just yet but they are in the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals. West Ham will host Manchester United next month for their quarter-final replay to settle what we started yesterday.
Crystal Palace, Everton and Watford are already through to the semis following the eliminations of Reading, Chelsea and 12-times winners Arsenal. West Ham and Manchester United are ball number four. The balls will be drawn at 7.15pm on Monday March 14.
BT Sport and the BBC still share television rights for this year’s tournament, and the draw for the next round will be broadcast on The One Show on BBC One, which begins at 7pm.
1 Crystal Palace
2 Everton
3 Watford
4 West Ham United or Manchester United
The semi-finals will be played on Saturday April 23rd and Sunday April 24th at Wembley Stadium.
UPDATE: West Ham were drawn against Everton
Again I cant help thinking the draw is a fix. Lost count of how many fans I have spoke to or comments I have read on forums that have called the draw SPOT ON. Not just who got who, but in exactly what order the balls would be drawn.
Even know one fan who at 12/1 put a score on it happening that way.
EVERTON. I fancy us to beat Man United, but can see us knocking Everton out two years running. More so now we have finally beat them in the league as well.
Been saying it all season we were going to have to do it the hard way,
We learnt so much against Everton in the last 2 seasons and on a neutral ground all we have to do is handcuff Luluka,
We can do this and I for one would rather go there now and do it in the semi then not do it in the final,
They will be the ones remembering what happened in the last game,
It’s just another game,most would have preferred them to Chelski or Arsenal
Look on the bright side , if we beat them we get a nice easy final
Who would’ve you have liked in the final before the draw tonight ? Everton or one of the other 2?
Everton might not have beaten one of the other lot,there defence would have trouble with igloo and Deehney
Let’s destroy Pardew in the final
Anyway with us getting the Cloggers at least it will ba an all London Final
No doubt we’ve been given three really tough draws to this stage if we get past MU. It’s one more reason I half wish we’d lost on Sunday than drew. I can see us, either going down to United and losing a key player in the process or the same thing happening against Everton.
We already know they will do everything not to lose again to us and with this their only shot at glory this spells trouble to me
