That's right, ladies and gents, call it. FA Cup draw lands Chelsea plum draw with struggling Championship side and kept away from anyone who might actually beat them. Sorry, Barnsley, but you haven't a hope of beating the Zombie in the cup with Abramovich breathing down his neck about winning the quadruple. They won't do it but they'll give it a good crack, and after his performance at Anfield I fully expect super-keeper Luke Steele to be recalled by West Brom to lead their line out in the Championship. That's if they don't stick a mask on him and pretend he's not cup tied for their own much simpler proposition of Bristol Rovers away.
Manchester United vs. Portsmouth looks, for all 'Arry's expertise, like a foregone conclusion and with the 'random' selections going the way they're going, I reckon we're going to see another Man U/Chelsea final. The other quarter final is the less than mouth watering prospect of whoever wakes up and decides to find the goal out of Sheffield United and Boro going to Wales to give Cardiff a good seeing to, but that's only if either of them can find the net by this time next week. If not, they should be chucked out and Liverpool should be reinstated, though only if they can win a play-off with Accrington Stanley. Accy for the cup anyone?
Still, Portsmouth vs. Man U is undoubtedly the tie of the round, though playing on that bog of a pitch (which Arsene Wenger came out of his hole to complain about this morning) means that Pompey are likely doomed. Still, I'm not too sad, as much as I dislike the Scotch nutcase and his merry band of cunts, at least Lassana Diarra won't get a crack at a winner's medal, because I think the resulting French smug would be pretty much unable to bear. 'Arry was singing his praises for a full two pages in the paper the other day, describing him as one of the best players he's ever worked with. Is he bollocks. The man who has worked with, amongst others, Joe Cole, David James and Big Sol in his time surely cannot truly believe that Lassana bloody Diarra is the best player he's ever worked with. I reckon constant praise must be in the moaning bastard's contract. Still, lets see how long it lasts before he starts demanding a move to a 'big club'. Who reckons he'll still be happy at Portsmouth this time next year?
Anyway, that's it for now, I'll be back with the proper news on things other than a bunch of overpaid nancies kicking a pig's bladder about later on, but for now, here's the FA Cup Quarter Final draw in short:
