Charlton or Wednesday at home please. Be great to be in with a sniff of the quarters.

I've said it for the previous rounds, I'll say it for the next round: the lower the team, the better please. Simple logic. If I had to pick a couple of sides specifically, it would be Sheff Wednesday :)lolol:) and Sunderland, just because they're nearest to where I'm living at uni.

EDIT: Away at Wednesday :smile: or Sunderland I mean.

We have never won at Hillsborough. Would prefer them at home.

I think I would like Fulham at home.

Save Sunderland until we have got a few more players fit.

Chelsea, Arsenal or Fulham away, or anyone except Sunderland at home.

I've never understood this desire to draw a big side with the near 100 percent of probability if defeat. Get the weakest side in the cup and go as far as you can. Simple.

I'd rather enjoy a trip to the Etihad, Emirates, Anfield or Goodison with the deluded belief that we might actually do something of note, than force myself to endure a dull away draw at Charlton. The magic of the cup and all that.

Random footnote to the day was meeting the television journalist John Stapleton on the train coming back from the Man City Watford Game. Googled him afterwards he's a proper City fan from childhood.

He fancied coming down to the Amex.

Agreed I was saying this the other day, I understood more when we were a shit team but now we can challenge anyone, especially at home as we've proven in the cup at the Amex. What's the point in going to the Etihad and being destroyed just like Liverpool last year, I certainly didn't enjoy that day out. But maybe it's just me.

Still want Sunderland at home though. Anybody but Man City away.

We could get a draw of derby games.

Brighton v Southampton
Everton v Liverpool
Cardiff v Swansea
Sheff Wed v Sheff Utd
Arsenal v Chelsea
Wigan v Man City

Could Bridcutt's last ever game at the Amex be him playing for Gus's Sunderland in the FA Cup 5th Round?

Given the choice, Charlton at home, or Sheffield United if they win tomorrow (not that unlikely?). Please not bloody Stoke.
