For the Berbatov lovers out there, if Tottenham wins this, don't expect United getting there hands on him unless another team puts in a bid.

Feel pretty good facing either team. The unfortunate thing is, if we do face The Spurs, there probably would be a full strength lineup United would have to field. Not so if drawn against Reading.

What I enjoyed about United's play in the competition last season was that quite a few "fringe" players had a chance to shine in this tournament. Not so this year with the draws we've been getting.

thats not too bad at all really.

There arent many teams with a real hope of winning left in the competition. It's pretty much between the big 4 or 3 if Liverpool dont beat luton.

How awesome is it that we could see as many as 10 teams from lower divisions in the 5th round? We're already guaranteed 7 from this draw, and that number goes up if either of Fulham, Liverpool, and/or Derby lose their replays.

I love the FA Cup!

yeah i agree. FA Cup has been fantastic this year. I guess I was the only one who really thoroughly enjoyed our match on Saturday. I've heard a ton of complaints

I thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere at Villa Park was great.

I do believe however, that I was the only one around here that thought Carrick played well...

Will definitely have to watch the match again. :cheers1:

RL, great point and another reason why I enjoy the FA Cup. I love the open competition where you get to see teams play that you might not normally get a chance to.

Kitson is a bit daft to say that the FA Cup isn't important. The stadium atmosphere, teams and play always seem to provide exciting results each round.

it would be nice and more easier for us if Reading would qualify...........but we're playing at home..and...i'm sure we'll qualify no matter our competition
