Fancy our chances against the Moaners United.
Funny thing is, we have been so appalling lately, that I really hadn't clocked that we were just one game from Wembley. So, it was a bit of a shock at the final whistle. The nice thing about today was that both Højbjerg and Cédric scored their very first goals for the club.

One win from Europe too... I think... Not anymore. That rule was changed. The FA Cup runner up no longer qualifies for Europe if the winner is in the CL. |

If the FA Cup winners qualify for the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League via the domestic championship, by Regulation 3.04,[2] the highest ranking non-qualified league club qualifies, taking the lowest Europa League spot (the League Cup spot – the League Cup inherits the League spot, and the League inherits the FA Cup spot). |

Don't we all remember that this is exactly how we qualified twice at the expense of Aston Villa and the Palace through our league position, when under the old rule those teams would have got it as FA Cup runners up? |

these draws are always fixed to maximise the appeal to the tv audience.
No doubt we will be playing at 8.00pm on a Sunday night

Not quite correct. We only benefited from the change in rules in the 1st RK year. In the 2nd, when we finished 6th(!), we qualified for the EL in our own right. It was West Ham who qualified for the final EL place at the expense of Palace due to the rules change. The benefit in the 2nd RK year from the rules change was that we went straight through to the EL group phase. If Palace had won the FA Cup we would have gone into the qualifying rounds. |

The s/f on the Sunday is the same day as the London Marathon, so public transport will be chaotic
