The FA Cup - Semi Final Draw

[Bobby]

The hariest Arsenal player is gonna rip through the United backline and score a goal.

That would be Martin Keown.

Arsenal v Manchester United will be brought foward to April the 3rd to give both clubs more preparation for the Champions League.

And will be held at The Millennium Stadium - Sky Sports News channel.

Even The FA are labelling this as the real final.

You can't play it at the Millenium Stadium, it would give whichever team wins this SF an unfair advantage over whoever they meet in the final, which is also at the Millennium Stadium. Unless both SFs are played there.

Because one of the teams in the final would've played at the Millenium Stadium recently and become more acclimatised to it, it's dressing rooms, it's atmosphere, the run of the pitch, etc. Okay, both Arsenal and Man Utd have been there before in previous seasons, but the memory of a year ago is more faded than the memory of a month ago.

They changed it from my birthday.

Four matches against Arsenal in 20 days would be awesome.

Um, and what if Sunderland make it to the final and also get promoted back to the Premier League? No nationwide league will be represented then.....

Exactly, we have a playoff spot right now and Sunderland can get one, so maybe nationwide league not will be represented.
