Hoping that Palace, Bournemouth, Villa and Forest really go for it from hear on in it is a great opportunity for lesser sides to give their supporters a big day out. The way Forest and Bournemouth have played this season would be fitting if they could get to at least a semi final.  Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham all gone and City as vulnerable as they have been in years real opportunity for a lesser light to lift the cup this year.

Any home draw in the cup and you cant complain.  First time since 2015 that Villa have gotten this far (the year they got pumped in the final by Arsenal).

I'm not sure about the Preston game, but you could possibly favour home wins from there on.  It of course wont work out like that.

Don't think I'd lump Tottenham in with the rest of those teams. It's 1991 since they won or reached FA Cup final.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

On reflection your probably right, would have been fancying the job too if had got over Villa given what's left.

They can lose it no problem at all to them

Fulham are a half decent team. They'll be lucky to get through that tie.

Fulham should have beat them a couple of years ago completely imploded when 1-0 up got two men sent off.  I Would say the current Fulham side is a better version of that team.

Utd have only beaten them twice this year by one goal, lucky in both games
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
