Chelsea/Everton away in cup

[Kitson12]

Could be good for us, Chelsea resting players for important league matches? (If Chelsea get through )

They won't be able to announce ticket details etc until after the replay so will the 26th be too soon?

Yes

[RoyalJames101]

Chelsea play on Tuesday 22nd Feb, Tuesday 1st March, Monday 7th March, Wednesday 16th March.

Maybe they should just give us a bye for not being able to play?

so our home game v watford will go ahead on the 19th?

Yes.

Moyes has gone on record saying that he is desperate to win the FA Cup with Everton. No chance of them resting players.

It will be Chelsea though, and that will be that.

Would prefer Chelsea to Everton, especially if midweek. But I think we'd have a genuine chance with their run of fixtures.

Will you go to your cup final with your buddies m8?

What happens if we draw and have a replay?!

[SpaceCruiser]

I admire your optimism.

[Handsome Man]

Rubbish draw: we will lose and it won't be for years

[The Glory Days :(]

They have a manic fixture sheet with champions league and united both around the fa cup date ... i would be suprised to see them feild a full stength team as anchelotti will want the league mostly to keep his job, fa cup isnt essential for him i dont think, if shane plays like he has been and the REAL Jimmy kebe turns up i think we could nab this from right under their noses

[Elm Park Old Boy]

Yeah, come on. Who won at Anfield last season? Fun draw - hope it's Chelsea.

[rabidbee]

Looking at it the tie will be around the 8/9th March.

8th March against Chelsea, please. Had been really pissed off to be stuck with an all-day meeting in London on my birthday, but could now work out nicely.

[Elmer Park]

What happens if we draw and have a replay?!

I have a feeling it would be on the date of the sixth round in that case.

Chelsea have lost their abilities. Been stripped of all of their god-given talents. Including the talents to kick a f*cking ball, or to have sex with any woman they choose, - neither Terry or Lampard have had an affair in months - or to be able to not prematurely come in their pants. Basically, Chelsea are screwed so you might as well save face and lose to Everton before we embarrass you.

Chelsea 3 - 3 Reading

Torres, Long, Torres, Long, Torres, Long

Or is it too early for predictions?

Torres cup-tied, surely?

I think there is a strong possibility that if it is Chelsea, due to their fixture congestion, this game could end up being played at the weekend!!

It looks to me as though it could be played the weekend of the 6th Round (quarter finals) - which is the 12th/13th March. The only other time I can see is midweek on week beginning Monday 7th March....but Chelsea play on that Monday (on TV I believe) so the Saturday (12th) might make sense anyway. Unless I am missing something?!
