Who cares... The winner of the Chelsea - Liverpool semi will be the winner of the cup anyway.
The only good thing is that both of them will be in Europe anyway next season so the other 'finalist' will get a European place even if they don't win.

BTW - This is from a bitter and twisted ex season ticket holder for xx years 'Toon Army' supporter. Well that's another year we have not achieved anything. I do hope that Liverpool stuff Chelsea. Then I can watch their manager blaming everyone else from the referee to the full moon for it.

As a Hammers supporter, you must be well pleased with the draw.

Yip. Dont actually care about any results. Just getting this far hasnt happened for well more than 15 years (they last won the cup in '80). I'm hoping that we can get up to 6th in the division and qual for europe. Thats been a club goal for the last few seasons.

Win the semi and you'll be in. Chelsea will be in the Champions, Liverpool will either be in the Champions as second place or into the Champions play-off as third. That means that the other finalist from the FA cup will automatically go into the cup winners cup.
