FA Cup draw - what a surprise!

FA Cup

comment on the article

Chelsea at home against lower league opposition - again, and Man U at home - against mid-table opposition - again.
Its a fix!
It used to be rumoured that certain balls were warmed up so that the guys picking the balls out of the bag knew which ones to pick, and which ones not to - not that I'm suggesting anything, of course!

Anyway, who do you mean with 'Tore'? Andre Flo? If so, good man.

You don't we are niave to think that it hasn't helped a lot? It saved us from going under but no matter how much money you have, if the team and management staff don't perform, it won't stop you from getting relegated on it's own.

Point in case - Shevchenko and Ballack. Yes, we bought them but have they added much to the team? In this case, the answer is very little. Get out of your parm and join an adult debate.

RE: Montella - I just got the little fella into my fantasy team for tonight. He's impressed me since he's been at Fulham and I hope he pops up tonight!

And, yes, it's a reference to Tore Andre Flo - one of the best strikers to grace the Premiership!

I would like to see Preston v Man City as the first choice game on BBC, and Fulham v Spurs as 2nd.

Preston v City is a perfect Cup tie, with the underdog flying high and at home and a great chance of a cup shock.

Fulham v Spurs should be a cracking London derby with Spurs (one of the favourites for the Cup) up against A team that are very tough to beat at home (Fulham).

The way the draw is going, with a Championship side guaranteed to advance to the final eight- its looks pretty much like the semis will be Preston North End, Blackburn, Blackpool and Man U.

Supposedly the Villa vs United match is a fix. Some people have been going around with images that show '25' (Boro) ball being shown, not the '24' (Man United) ball, after the '2' (Aston Villa).

But why would the FA "fix" United againsy Villa, as opposed to Boro? They are both prem clubs, and there would be no advantage.

If they were going to fix it, it would be a huge co-incidence that the game they wanted was only one number out (24 instead of 25).

If they want to see United through (as these "fix" claims always suggest), they would have fixed tham against Havant & Waterlooville.
