Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Pretty boring games overall. Hopefully we won't be as horrid against Huddersfield like last time (if they make it).

Don't think they could have picked a more boring draw if they tried. Guess they can hype up the Wigan vs City rematch.

Have many good memories between those 2 hehe. The final win for Wigan and also one big quarter final win too.

Erm, we've just drawn Derby, Yeovil and then B'ham or Hudders for feck sake. Let's not go full RAWK.
Yeah I think after our draws in recent past we can't really complain. Much better than when we constantly got City/Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal cup ties.

Huddersfield are in a relegation battle in the Prem, so I doubt they'll care about the cup too much, might field a weakened side (assuming they get past Birmingham in the first place)

Birmingham please.
Exactly. Everyone is presuming Huddersfield are going to get through their replay. They could get a tonking off Liverpool and off us in their next two games. So if they are in relegation trouble it will depend what sort of side he puts out. Anyway don't think Jose will let that type of result happen again. He will be ready for them.

Good day for us. Our away fans are usually on fire in the FA cup. Would want us to play Huddersfield rather than Birmingham as Huddersfield has concentrate on the PL rather than the FA Cup and could be a good away trip for our fans and we can completely open them up with our quality. FA cup games against the smaller PL sides are less trickier than the sides in the championship because they are more up for it. Also, better pitches.

United, City, Chelsea, Leicester, Spurs all to go through and again avoid each other in the Q/F. Fixed.

Neither Mourinho nor the players will allow this to happen again. It was a painful experience to lose against these lot. We were too relaxed from the start of the game I can't see it get repeated again. The players will be extra focused if we meet them.

Ah chance for revenge on Huddersfield. Hope they come through the replay and we then proceed to smash them. It will make up for losing there in the PL.

Four big teams all kept nicely separate, promises some blockbuster later games.
Although West Brom and Leicester on their day can threaten. Boiling up for some good ones...but not this round!

Birmingham away the preference, and dealt with in one hopefully.

It's going to mean not for the first time this season 3 away games on the bounce

I'll take that, can imagine a standard but not entirely convincing win whomever we get. 1-2 or something, but any kind of win to keep us marching on in the cup will do.
