After getting through rnd 4 the anticipation of who will be drawn out of the bag has been taken away.

Bit shit really and unecesssary, will they draw the qtrs and semi together too I wonder
 
Swansea are playing with confidence and there normal game is not bus parking , this will play into our hands and i expect Pep to play a strong side because he just likes winning trophies , Dippers,Swansea,Spuds in seven days is tough but we have had tougher and come through unscathed.
 
Not sure Swansea will even play a full strength side against us, they have Norwich before us and then Sheff Wed away on the Saturday after, promotion will be far more important to them
 
5th Round Draw:

Swansea vs Manchester City

Manchester United vs West Ham

Leicester City vs Brighton

Wolves vs Southampton

Barnsley vs Chelsea

Sheffield United vs Bristol City

Everton vs Wycombe/Tottenham

Burnley vs Bournemouth/Crawley

Updated it after Everton game!
 
Updated it after Everton game!
Really starting to open up now.

Liverpool and Arsenal out
One of Everton or Spurs will be out by the QF
United and Leicester both have potentially difficult draws

We're three wins away from another final starting with Swansea.
 
All televised I assume - I’d guess 3 on bbc, 5 on bt based on split for 4th round ?

Yes all ties on TV ... but I don’t understand why the draw couldn’t be done today for instance or even tomorrow after Spurs game ... how did any arrangement for any fixture was sorted before this round was played anyway ... I mean look at our ties, four teams had to play to know which two would play next round so knowing this vs this will play that vs that didn’t really help anyone ...

I have a feeling after this next tie against Swnsea we’d see two draws at once again so QF and SF done together - just like they do in CL these days.

A draw now after knowing who’s out and who’s left (or at least after most of ties have been played) would have been more exciting than knowing most of draws beforehand ...

That would have to be Tuesday, as Bournemouth play Crawley then.
