FA Cup semi-final: Why I will never do draw – Former Arsenal star

Arsenal legend Ian Wright in a recent statement has suggested he may never do the FA Cup draw again after getting “slaughtered” by fans last weekend.

Recall that Wright conducted the semi-final draw live on Sunday, after Manchester United defeated Liverpool at Old Trafford.

A highlight from the draw saw Wright deliberately looked away from the bag, so he could not see any of the balls as he drew them out.

The outcome saw the Red Devils paired with Coventry City and Manchester City playing Chelsea.

But the former Arsenal star said he would not like to do the draw again, after fans mocked him for imitating the blind musician Stevie Wonder.

He said on the Stick to Football podcast: “Don’t ask me to do it [the FA Cup draw] again! It’s nerve-wracking and if they ask me to do it again [I won’t]. He [Roy Keane] had skin in the game.

“Could you imagine if he’d done it and Manchester United came out against Coventry?! I was being neutral. I thought I was a very good neutral as well.

“I didn’t even realise at the time. I’d done Coventry and Man United, so we know what’s next and I was so close to going “well we know what’s next, what’s the point of drawing them!”
