Manchester United take on Everton while Arsenal or Hull City face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Everton were 2-1 victors against Middlesbrough this weekend and now tackle the Red Devils, who are seeking an unprecedented quintuple. The tie will be a repeat of the 1995 final in which the Toffees recorded a shock 1-0 win thanks to a Paul Rideout goal. However, they have beaten United just once since that game 14 years ago. Arsenal overcame Burnley in the fifth round of the competition on Sunday and tackle Hull in the quarter-finals, with Chelsea awaiting the winners in the last four. A clash for the Blues with London rivals Arsenal would be a repeat of the 2002 final, which the Gunners won 2-0. Arsenal must first dispose of Hull at Emirates Stadium in a game which will be played on 17th or 18th March. The semi-finals will be played on 18th and 19th April at Wembley. FA Cup semi-final draw: Arsenal/Hull City v Chelsea Manchester United v Everton Skysports |

Good-ish win by Arsenal. Showed character coming back, but from what I saw it was not exactly a good example of good sportsmanship. Wenger not shaking hands at the end, time wasting, then Brown ranting and maybe saying things he really shouldn't have said, and Cesc Fabregas supposedly spitting on the AM.

Cesc has already denied the spitting claim, and there's a picture that clearly shows Arsene shaking hands with Brown.....just sounds like sour grapes to me....

Oh really? Brown was saying that he didn't... Huh. Bitter much?

 Seems the pics & the video were actually from the two league meetings earlier this season, the word is that on this occassion Arsene was waiting to shake Browns hand but he never showed up... still, if Arsene didn't feel lile having a handshake, i'll understand why And seems like some moron on 5live was saying that spitting at someone is worse than elbowing them in the face or going in studs up and putting them out of the game for months |

Pfft! No f****** way! I mean, spitting is disrespectful and rude, but taking people out of matches is just cruel. Huge difference, you cant even compare the two!

We've had a ridiculously easy run in the cup so far (Plymouth, Cardiff, Burnley, Hull) and nows the time to show we mean business!!

God damnit.. Drogba, again.. I thought the game was sloppy all around, looks like the players couldn't get a good strike of the ball, and the pitch was coming up all over. Fabianski...Man... I know you really shouldn't blame a loss on one particular player, but Fabianski made so many mistakes.
Eew..Drogba talking makes me sick.

What the heck...That's what Lampard sounds like?!?! That's the first time I have ever watched an interview with him, and I wouldn't think that he would sound like that..Odd.
Sorry, I am about 30 minutes behind everyone else, I had the game on TiVo so I started in a bit late and watched from the beginning.

The secon top 4 side we have dispatched in the past couple of days....why have we found it so hard to do that in the league!?!?!?!?
Glad we have made the final, not taking anything for granted though. Both United and Everton are tough potential opponents.

Now, i hope you mean for the semi's and not for the finals!!
I would love to play Everton in the finals, not because of United or anything, but because i think they really deserve to be there. They have always impressed me and i think it would be good for them to at least get a shot at some silverware.

everton to the finals, then in the finals, tied 1-1 in regular time, then in the dying seconds of extra time, cahill gets red carded, lampard takes free kick, deflects off felaini, and chelsea win 1-0. the end.

From Stamford Bridge to WEMB-ER-LEY!
We'll keep the Blue flag flying high!
Great goal from Drogba, I came home from practice in time to see the final 20 minutes. The Drogba I saw was my favourite, no bull s*** but a physical, hard working presence.
I'm hoping for a cup double now.

Too bad I couldn't see the looks on Rooney's and Ronaldo's faces as they didn't play  That would have made my day even better  Fergie's was pretty classic though after the penalty appeal though! Turned red as a tomato! |

Yay! Chelsea - Everton final!
Frank Lampard has a sort of quiet voice. I usually like hearing his interviews as he's a fairly intelligent person.

LOL at Ferguson's reaction to that penalty decision by Riley usual excuses, Moyes pre match comments influenced the ref lost because of a bad pitch as bad as it may have been, both teams played on the same one. And what the hell was Berbatov playing at?  possibly the laziest penalty I've ever seen in my life, like he didn't want to be there. One down, now COME ON ARSENAL!!!!  |

Good owd Fergie, blaming the f****** pitch now!!
I'd blame bloody Berbatov, wasn't that the worst pen ever??
GET IN EVERTON!! You've done the footballing world proud.
