It might be just me but doesn't it look really suspicious that in the last round all the Premier league teams were kept apart, sure they didn't all get through but what are the odds of that happening.
Taking it that Arsenal get through tonight against Sutton and we see off Huddersfield and you have the current top 4 all in the draw and again all avoiding each other. I know Chelsea have drawn the rags but even so.
For the last few years they have been saying about how the FA Cup is being devalued and now all of the top 4 teams have been handed draws that they should progress through.
It's almost as if the draw was scripted to have a battle of the top 4 in the semi's.
More than likely reading too much into it but it seems like a wet dream for the FA.

It's a fix when we get consecutive away ties, but when we were almost exclusively at home in the cup, not too long ago, not a peep from anyone...
9 away draws on the trot it is.

You old skeptic you, I thought back in 81 we were hard done to Everton away in quarters and Ipswich (who were top back then) in the semi whilst lucky old Tottingham only played out of London once the semi against Wolves (even the replay was at Highbury if remember right) but we did have a good run in 2011 to be fair.Against 8 prem sides isn't it.? I don't think luck plays any part in it.
