Who do we want in the quarter finals

MASSIVE IF of course (and I wish Elphick hadn't gobbed off in the press), but if we somehow do beat a very good Stoke side, it's going to be one of these:


Man Utd
Chelsea/Everton (winners will beat Reading)
Birmingham
Arsenal
Fulham/Bolton
Man City/Villa
West Ham/Burnley

The only truly boring draws would be Burnley or Bolton away, but whoever we play if we get through, it'll be an absolutely massive binfest for tickets.

Maybe Man City away would be a good draw - at least they are a big club who would be able to accomodate our demand for tickets: 7,500. I can't see Arsenal or Man Utd managing that even with bigger grounds, because more Albion fans would want to go.

In the draw for Round 5 I wanted the biggest club possible for a good away day. If we get through this round (a big IF obviously), I think I'd revert to wanting the easiest tie possible to give us the best possible chance of getting to a Wembley semi.

West Ham/ Burnley at home...What a chance to get to Wembley that would be. I honestly belive on our day we will give anyone a game, thats not saying we will beat anyone(im not that stupid). But on any given day, its a game of football, 11 v 11 and we are a good football team. By far the best in our own division and anyone not giving us full respect might just come unstuck.

Actually that is a very good point. West Ham/Burnley at home please
