Wolverhampton Wanderers or Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Manchester City v Stoke City
Derby County v Birmingham City
Bolton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur or Leeds United
Chelsea v Cardiff City
Fulham v Notts County or Wigan Athletic
Reading v West Bromwich Albion
Southampton v Portsmouth

Stand out tie I think has to be Southampton v Portsmouth.

Rather glad now we did get knocked out, I wouldn't have fancied an away tie at Man City at all.

Typical Chel$ea ALWAYS get the easiest possible tie and the media go crazy how good they are...ffs

this season they got watford at home, preston away and now cardiff at home

No, what I was suggesting that had we had to play them, this would've come after Liverpool, which would've made it 5 hards games in a row with hardly any breaks. Given how Wenger tried to field a team which involved mostly youngsters than our first team, the same would've happened there, given Porto would've been a few days after.

Also we've lost twice there this season, the 2nd game we tried to get away with an under strengthed team, quite frankly I would've hated having to play them again at a time when we have far more important games to deal with, this would've been another inconvience.

Sounds like a reasonable reason for me to be relieved we don't have to deal with a game like that, don't you think?

To be honest i couldnt care less about the fa cup this season we have bigger priortys.

**Leper Messiah** · 24-01-2010, 20:52

I'd have enjoyed a crack at City.

Aside from that, Southampton/Pompey should be interesting.

Im fucking gutted would have loved an away tie to city, 6,000+ gonners me almost certainly one of them would've been great

Notts County currently on course to join round 5, currently beating Wigan away in the replay 1-0!

Edit: Now 2-0

Proper cup upset.

The South coast game has gone a bit mental. Pompey took the lead, Southampton quickly responded, now Pompey have scored again.

Mysty · 13-02-2010, 14:58

Now the Saints just had a goal ruled out for offside

Mysty · 13-02-2010, 15:01

3-1 Pompey, off to the quarters for them, a nice plus in a dire season for them.

Mysty · 13-02-2010, 15:04

4-1, awesome away win for them against their big rivals.
