What were the chances

that Liverpool would draw Man U AND QPR Chelsea ie Suarez/Evra and Terry/Anton? It's really bizarre that like. Needs to be some heavy, grown-up diplomacy on all sides to prevent further crappy confrontations when the 4th round comes around.

Well, what where the chance that both Manchester teams would meet each other?

Hardly seems like the FA draws favour the bigger names right now so maybe we can let some conspiracy theories rest..

Liverpool v Man United will be interesting, I can't see how it wont end bad.
Unless Evra doesn't play!

Merseyside police will be gutted with the draw. Gonna be a very busy day for them i would imagine.

Some of the things said/chanted in these games are way over the top anyway but can see this one being particularly bad (from both sides).

Last time we had them in the cup at Anfield was when Smith broke his leg and the ambulance was attacked outside The King Harry. A 6000 away allocation increases the intense atmosphere too.

Not checked but apparently if it was to go to a replay then this would be Suarez's first game back, followed by a trip there next game in the league.

This tie has the potential for serious incidents both on and off the pitch. The clubs and authorities will be gutted but the fans in the main, will be made up.
