Draw takes place around 7pm on Monday 30th January. On the One Show...

 

1. Tottenham
2. Southampton
3. Wrexham/Sheff Utd
4. Ipswich/Burnley
5. Man Utd
6. Luton/Grimsby
7. Derby/West Ham
8. Stoke/Stevenage
9. Blackburn/Birmingham
10. Leicester
11. Sheff Weds/Fleetwood
12. Man City
13. Bristol City
14. Brighton
15. Fulham/Sunderland
16. Leeds

Looking at that, there's only 3 teams you'd want to avoid, other than that a real chance to go deep in this competition.

 

I'd go for Sheffield Wednesday away.

Agree.

 

Man City/Tottenham/Man Utd to avoid.

 

Any other side at home I'd be happy with. Preferably lower league.

I'm not sure we need so many European rounds/games to decide who the best team is.

I find Pep and Klopp's moaning about this stuff incredibly tedious. Talking about two teams with the ability to change the whole team and still be stronger than most the pyramid. Especially in Man City's case.

 

The clubs down the pyramid still have Papa John's Trophy's or non league with Fa Trophy's etc. With less subs and far less moaning.

What a sore loser and dick he is becoming!

Those FA Cup Saturdays are steeped in our tradition. There is a truly unique atmosphere on both sides when you get these game days especially when you are playing a team as far removed from who you would normally play.

 

For someone who hasn't had the privilege of growing up with this competition in the country it is so fondly thought of spout off about this tradition and be ignorant of what these Saturdays mean needs to seriously have a word with himself then STFU!

Absolutely- just look at some of the games and atmosphere over the weekend.

Dont agree with any round being midweek but if iany round HAD to be midweek it should surely be the quarter final instead of the 5th round?

 

Less lower league teams that need the money and no premier league weekend matches to rearrange given theres a full set of prem matches scheduled at the same time for some strange reasons.

They really padded that documentary out. I stopped watching half way through season one, did it get any better?

Good on Alex Jones, asking Jenas 'is this the closest you've got to the FA Cup'

I'm glad we have weekend FA Cup ties, a nice break from the suffocating Premier League stuff.

But they'll be missing out on an exciting feature about the British Button Museum or summat.
