FA Cup 5th round draw - Huddersfield Town (Away)

Chelsea v City
Rags v Sutton

Would anybody really be surprised?

No surprise at all the way things are going this season. It looks like the FA are doing everything they can to hinder us and help out the ****s from Trafford.

Even if one of the BBC's monkeys pulls out the wrong ball from their point of view and we somehow get a home tie, it's virtually guaranteed their favourites (50 televised cup games in a row?) will get one of Lincoln, Oxford or Sutton.
 
It'll be ...

Utd v City
Arsenal v Spurs
Sutton v Chelsea
Lincoln v Blackburn

2 derbies and 2 for the dreamers ... plus more games cos I'm too lazy to check who's left. :-)
Arsenal, Blackburn, Burnley, Chelsea, Fulham, Huddersfield, Lincoln, Man City, Middlesborough, Millwall, Oxford, Spurs, Sutton, Wolves are through.

Leicester to replay against Derby and our near neighbours will get a bye.
 
Whoever we get, we have to play on the Friday night or certainly no later than 3pm on the Saturday or it will be a weakened side. The FA and BBC shafted us last season and hopefully our weak side showed them that if they take the piss, we will too, devaluing a cup that is at its lowest ebb ever from a clubs being interested in it point of view. This was once such a prestigeous trophy and I would spend all day on a Saturday watching the final. It's now no more important than the league cup.
 
Roughly 1 in 4 chance of getting someone decent

Pretty good odds of progressing versus anyone else left in it
 
Arsenal v Spurs
Man Utd v Man City
Burnley v Blackburn
Fulham v Chelsea
Huddersfield v Boro
Lincoln v Sutton
Wolves v Leicester
Millwall v Oxford

Could be a few derbies in the last 16
