    If Ball 6 gets drawn against Ball 4 in Mondays draw I am going to be a bit annoyed.

    Not often that I cheer for ManUtd - but today is one of those days.

    Hoping for a win for them, followed by a tie away to Chelsea or Man City in the next round. Anywhere they have to play their strongest team.

    Thanks for that SD. I'm now better informed. One of the benefits of a forum. :)

    So, in an ideal world, all the strongest teams have Away ties. Not that it matters too much now, but at least that gives them a harder life.

    Why is the draw tomorrow when there's no game tomorrow?.

    Much preferred when they used to do the draw after the last game on the Sunday

    If we had to play on 3G the week before Wembley, I think I'd start the tea lady and security guard.

    I thought they'd always done the FA Cup on the Monday?

    I'm hoping that Utd and Chelsea get tough ties. At the moment, after this coming week we will only have two more midweek matches for the rest of the season (being home to Palace and Arsenal). Yay. But potentially our home games vs Utd (QF weekend) and/or Chelsea (SF weekend) could yet be moved to midweek too.

    What do you make of the tweet below. An ITV reporter moans about the BBC showing Man Utd instead of the smaller teams and Dan Walker replies "Ask the FA, We asked to do the Lincoln game."

    Just who is charge of picking the TV games? The broadcasters? or the FA?

    Maybe FA getting more money from global TV companies? They want to see Arsenal, United, etc.
