United will face Orient or Arsenal for trip to Wembley


LOFC - Manchester next?

Manchester United will host either Leyton Orient or old foes Arsenal in the F.A Cup quarter-final. Jonathan Tehoune fired home a stunning, last-gasp equaliser to earn Orient a replay at Ashburton Grove and the chance of a visit to Old Trafford in the sixth round of the competition.

As United stuttered through against unlucky Crawley, Arsenal were held by Orient in a memorable Cup clash at Brisbane Road.

Tehoune fired a superb effort past Manuel Alumnia at the death to cancel Tomas Rosicky's second-half header and set up an unlikely replay.

Orient can now look forward to a money-spinning replay safe in the knowledge that a shock victory would hand them a Cup clash at the Theatre of Dreams.

The East London club have already dumped Droyslden, Norwich and Swansea out of the famous competition.

The full draw for the quarter-final is as follows:

Stoke City v. West Ham United or Burnley
Manchester City or Aston Villa v. Everton or Reading
Birmingham City v. Bolton Wanderers
Manchester United v. Leyton Orient or Arsenal

With the semi-finals again taking place at Wembley, the winners of the quarter-final ties will play at England's national football stadium in the last four of the competition.

More Wembley semi finals - I think that half the teams in the league have now played at the new Wembley coutesy of semi finals, finals, play offs, League Cup finals and Associate members cup finals..

It is no longer a rare event to get there and by playing semi's there cheapens the final in my opinion.

Who would rather be at the Champions League final a few weeks later!!?
