    8 games, 8 prem teams left in and they all avoid each other. What are the odds?

    And we had to draw ruddy Arsenal in last round. Mind you, better to have a rest before our Cup Final.

    Wonderful 5th Round Draw!! It is what makes the FA Cup better than the EFL trophy. Three local derbies and a Trans Pennine clash ( there's about 25 miles separating the two teams). United have the take the A666!!! Very appropriate for them!!

    Millwall getting drawn at home again. Hope they get through and get Arsenal in the next round. A perfect London derby!!!

    As for the final it would be great if it was a North London affair with Tottenham stuffing one of the Manchester teams in a semi, and Arsenal hammering Chelsea in the other.

    Whether it's the EFL Cup or the FA Cup, a trip to Wembley is a trip to Wembley and I am ****ing excited. Oh, and that 2 legged semi was intense. Sure, the early rounds of the EFL Cup are a bit dull but when you get to the latter stages it really gets special.

    That was my thought. But it could happen randomly. Does it say something about us that we thought otherwise. ;)

    Shambolic refereeing in the Leicester/Derby game. Red card for Derby keeper and stonewall penalty denied. Dreadful from the officials!

    Not sure how Jones could have seen the handball from his position. Plus the assistant wouldn't have seen the handball either.

    I'd be pretty upset if it wasn't given for us - the ref is supposed to keep up with play. Rugby refs seem to be able to - are they, perhaps, fitter than football ones? I could see that the assistant ref was unsighted, but I thought the ref should have seen it.
    And the penalty shout? Both assistant and ref should have seen it imo

    It was an incredibly difficult one for the referee. A long ball over the top meaning the referee has no time to catch up with play and the handball occurred very quickly.

    How is the referee supposed to catch up with a hoof upfield in about five seconds? It's impossible.
