Draw at 10:15

[Redwurzel]

Home leg first is pleasing.

Chelsea is the mid team for me, not as good as Liverpool but better than Fulham.

Chelsea should mean a full house at home if priced correctly.

That 90 min equaliser last night made quite a difference.

Liverpool ball in the microwave and ours in the fridge.

I'm just imagining Bob Mortimer doing the draw in this scenario. Surely he'd whip on a pair of Joy Division oven gloves to protect his hand and preserve the integrity of the competition.

Channeling the 1988 vibes lol

 

[The Card Cheat]

Reasons to be cheerful…
Good that we’re home in the first leg, Chelsea are not the great side they used to be anymore. Any team we faced would have been tough.
We could get Trevor Senior out of retirement just for the home game.

 

[Teesste]

Anyone remember what happened the last time we played Chelsea over 2 legs… the first leg being at home!!

It‘s written in the stars!

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Happy with that, means we only need to beat the best side left in a one off game.

Liverpool would have been tricky over 2 legs.

So will it be the Tues night or the Wed night then?

We were massive underdogs also and in division below….another battle of Stamford bridge incoming. Party like it’s 1988 lol

 

[RedAsABeetroot]

More rail strikes incoming with midweek games and both ties featuring N vs S?

 

[Beverleyred]

I bet the are suicidal after that draw

 

[Davey_C]

We knocked them out the FA Cup in 1993 too

 

[Mfcmoose]

Have we ever played Chelsea over 2 legs before…with the first leg being at home..hmmmmmmm

Yes we have - 1988 play offs - won 2-0 at Aryesome and lost 1-0 at Chelsea so we relegated them - brilliant day

[Simply red]

Oh the battle of Stamford bridge get in

Walk in the park as our boys did .

 

[SydneyRed]

1988 will be referenced a lot in the run into these SF games lol Perhaps that the motivation for RedFaction,,.banner and all that…to get things pumping.

gregorgregorovich got married on the day of the second leg and I ended up sitting in a van listening to the game in the Eston Labour Club car park. My mother sighed a relief as she knew if it had been the week after when my brother got married I would have gone to the game.

So will it be the Tues night or the Wed night then?

Liverpool are in the FA cup on the 7th so will get the Wednesday. Both us and Chelsea play the the 6th

Wonder what the ticket price will be for this. Can’t imagine the club will charge anything less than full price.
