I bet the Police are praying that we don't draw Brighton or Scumwall. Personally I'd love Swansea or Scumwall at home. What? And miss out on overtime pay? Millwall have several clubs they wouldn’t mind playing. Palace, Chelsea or Man United, Man City, Wolves away. Or get an easier game in Swansea and more possibility of a semi final. I agree on Swansea or Millwall at home would be good games for our team. Edited by Rudi Hedman (18 Feb 2019 12.11pm)

Edited by Rudi Hedman (18 Feb 2019 12.11pm) Don't mind a day out in Swansea but have painful memories of the last time I went there. Those damned late goals

Of course I want us to win games in every competition but at the present time the FA cup is of secondary importance to PL survival. If we had attained a further 10 points and been safe then I would be far more excited about the FA Cup but in our present position I have no enthusiasm for it. Edited by Willo (18 Feb 2019 11.55am)

There’s also no replays from now. Up to the 6th round there’s never any Prem league games fixtured so none to be rescheduled midweek. We now have the quarter final which is again scheduled for a week off in the premier league on 16th March and 1 league game that might be rescheduled (Newcastle away) if we make the semi final.l on 6th April. We haven’t been stretched or tested in the slightest by this cup run. They just won’t get that rest in Dubai, La Manga or Portugal. The no replays is very recent but years ago in 1990 I remember the players had a break and sun tans the week before Cambridge Utd away in the 6th round. (It used to be a reward and prep for a semi final, not rest for what is sometimes not great performances, although they do need breaks as sportspeople) You now don’t get a break if you progress in the fa cup and have possible replays up to round 4 and 1 possible rescheduled game due to take place during fa cup semi final weekend. We should be able to manage this, especially as we’re not operating with 12 capable outfield players likexwe have done before.

I would have said Brighton but as we have them at our place the week before in the league I'd rather not face them again a week later. I'd go along with Swansea or Millwall at home.

Would love Palace to win the Cup what a great experience that would be even if we did get relegated, the Premier League is a load of inflated hype and there would be plenty of chances to get promotion again. I know people will say look at Wigan but to me it doesn't matter what division we are in as long as we give it our all.

Millwall at home please. Weakest team left in the comp, local derby, would be a cracking atmosphere. It would be so satisfying to outplay and out sing them and to knock them out at this late stage. No one wants those bafoons to have a day out at Wembley. Last time they were there, the chavs were fighting each other in the stadium. Complete laughing stock of a club, supported by lowlives who can’t behave, and revel in being hated by everyone else. I feel sorry for Neil Harris for being associated with that club. He seems like a decent bloke.

It’s only when we spend more than we can afford or we get lucky with a good manager and cheap players. Once our parachute money runs out our revenue will be about 14th.

You’d probably hear Miiiiii for quite long periods while someone tries to chew through the segregating canvas.

Perhaps the police would do us all a favour and limit their tickets to zero. We will have to play someone good eventually but it would be good to avoid the Manchester clubs.
