"The FA Cup fourth round draw has not really thrown up any blockbuster ties. This is great news for everybody. There are no ties such as the third round match between Liverpool and Arsenal in which one of the favourites will be eliminated." Who's he kidding?  I personally would love to see the favourites eliminating each other early on, so that the 'smaller' clubs have something that they have a real chance of winning! (C'mon, I'd love to see, say, Derby, Luton or Ipswich in Europe for one season, for a bit of a change!) The cynic in me says he wouldn't be saying that if he were a fan of a smaller club - am I perhaps being a bit harsh?  |

Ipswich in Europe again, that'd be lovely! And just because Liverpool are out too... |

Arsenal v Bolton will see one of the big guns go out. Come the 5th round, I am sure that there will be some big pairings. But the last thing we want is a Man Utd v Milwall final again, that was so one sided and predictable. If Tottenham go out, then a nice Luton v Bristol Rovers final would suit me down to the ground ;D

(We won the Littlewoods Milk Cup, which allowed qualification for the UEFA cup [or whatever name it was known by] - trouble is, English clubs were banned from Europe at that point Give us our chance back!) |

I wouldn't mind another fa cup final one day! Yeah we played crap and if Dennis Wise had the bottle then I reckon we could have given united a real decent game but is the fa cup really about the same old Arsenal V Man united final each season? They say the FA Cup is magical and all about fairytales, David v Galiath well that came true for us in 2004. I still can't believe that a small team from Bermondsey who average around 9k each week got to the final of the worlds greatest domestic competition. |

Agreed in principle, it was great seeing Milwall reach the final, it's just they made it easy for Man Utd, and I had the aroma of a potential upset. |

Haha..We've played in Europe ;D They were just afraid that a 'tinpot club' might embarrass the big boys - bloody conspiracy Still, beating the Arse 3-2 in the final (including saving a penalty after Ian Wright dived) is a sweet enough moment to savour  |

You had nothing to lose and should have gone all out attack on Utd |

i would be delighted if the big 4 knocked each other out early. i'm sick of seeing arsenal vs chelsea vs united vs liverpool in cup finals, and i'm guessing that all people here (apart possibly from dan the red) would feel the same

Alan Hansen also says "Chaffinch chaffinch gastly sperm potato" so I wouldn't worry about it.
