Southampton, Cardiff, Sheffield Utd, Liverpool, Man U, Porstmouth, West Brom & Chelsea.

Good to see a few Championship sides in there too

Someone alert the police and the local hospitals.


I fancy Southampton, Cardiff, Sheffield United, Liverpool, Manchester United, Portsmouth, West Brom and Chelsea to go through.

What a tie for Huddersfield.

These draws have gotta be rigged. Every round we've been in Utd have had premier opposition. Liverpool and Chelsea both have easy teams which they should beat. So unfair Sad

Should be an explosive tie though.

We'll relish that. Although there were many easier ties, this is the kind of tie that can really become one of those classic memories in a season.

Would have preferred to meet them in the final, but it's much more of a task now that we have to travel to Old Trafford. Last time there we were excellent and ultimately victorious, so I'm still very confident we can go through.

We had to overcome five Premier League sides - including United and Arsenal - to win the cup in 2005/06. It wasn't all that easy in 2001/02 either, with Leeds (when they were very good, of course) and Arsenal to face.

Don't put us down when you don't have to, Bluey does enough of that already... Wink

Personally, i'm relishing the very fortuitous draw that we've had, as a bit of a rarity. Although we often make a meal of it against the little sides... i'm sure we can grind it out against Barnsley.

I'll say:

Bristol Rovers v Southampton

Cardiff City v Wolves

Sheffield United v Middlesbrough

Liverpool v Barnsley

Manchester United v Arsenal

Preston v Portsmouth

Coventry City v West Brom

Chelsea v Huddersfield Town
