The semi-final draw takes place live after the final whistle of our game on BBC One. Who do you want?

If it's not us then I want Brighton to win as at least I can see we lost to the eventual winners. Not sure when that last happened.

Man Utd won't have played then so I hope Man City draw Man Utd/Fulham and the other semi is hopefully an all-EFL affair.

1983 was Man Utd v Brighton, 40 years on it could be Man Utd v the winners of our tie.

I think it happened with Wolves in the league cup

Judging the Met in recent revelations I’d imagine they’re very much preoccupied with photographing murder victims and getting all handsy with vulnerable women…

I had the wondered the same a while back and looked into this. Since Arsenal beat us in the 1936 semi and went on to win it we have only been knocked out by the eventual winners once, a 4th round defeat to Nottingham Forest on their way to winning in 1958/9.

The dream is still alive, we got a mention on BBC Radio 2 news
To be honest dread Man City
The Dream a Grimsby VS Sheffield FA Cup especially  for the Mcetee brothers

We just missed Man Utd again. Sick of saying it was 1948 when we last played them.
