Irons get an away draw in quarter finals

|

We are on our way to meet United at Old Trafford.

That’s the Irons ‘reward’for a magnificent victory over Chelsea tonight but with the confidence now sky high and the Hammers truly on their way there’s no fear factor.

City squeezed through in their game against City this evening whilst we were as good as we have been at any time last season or this.

We have to beat the best to win the Cup but it would have been nice to have got another home draw. Here’s ho

    Do you think it’s a coincidence that all of scudsmores favourites get a home draw ? I think it may do us a favour being away to Utd because the Onus will be on them to come forward. I think if we had played at home Jose would have parked the bus and tried to play on the counter. As it is the game might be a lot more open, I just hope Fernandes is fit for it, he looks right up there and is like Obiang now one of the first names on the team sheet COYI!!!

    The draw could have been worse. It’s a QF after all. I’d rather play them away than Arse, Soton or the Scouse. As No32 says, all of the pressure is them now as few will give us a prayer. When a Jose team has to come forward, they’re not as solid. I reckon this one is 50/50.
