As it seems nobody else gives a shit about this competition, I guess it's up to me to create a thread.
Obviously Liverpool V Utd is the pick of the 4th round, can't wait for the antics.

How did they do the draws before we even played! Who do we get if we win then?
Villa at home.
Good draw, at least 2 big teams out by the 5th round.
I would laugh if Man Utd knocked Liverpool out in the 4th round, then got Chelsea away in the 5th round and Spurs in the quarters.
I'm feeling an Arsenal-Man Utd final with us getting the "easy" route to the final and Man Utd knocking out all of the big teams.
It's happened before Kid, with teams getting the "easy" route winning, thats what makes this competition so fascinating and unpredictable.
I don't buy all this crap about "top teams" theres always been teams supposedly better than everyone else and they still get knocked out.
Best team in the country is already out sure, its there for the taking.
The best team in the country got their arses handed to them by their hated rivals, in their own backyard. I'd rather play City in the final over United any day of the week.
Then again City destroyed a much better United side 6-2 at Old Trafford earlier this season. Think they're clearly a better team than United in pretty much every aspect.
I'm not saying they're not the best team, just not that amazing. And when push comes to shove, who would you put your money on down the straight in the League this year, or if they were to meet in a big final somewhere?
I actually agree with you. I don't think they've got any business being ranked among the best teams in the world either. The fact that they got knocked out of Champions League by the sixth best team in Italy tells you everything you need to know. I said this back when people were wanking over their league start and compared them to the Invincibles. I don't think that the fact they lost to United when being down to ten men makes United a more dangerous side, however. Pretty much the whole City team is better, player by player.
I think us or spurs will win it his year.

We're agreeing with each other then, because I think United are nothing to write home about either.
It's just a fact that United have more experience of winning and that counts for everything when crunch time comes.
Err this is the FA cup thread, why are people talking about City- they've been knocked put.

They might buy one of the teams still in it and rename them the Elite Cup Squad.
Wish they'd buy us, we could be their feeder club.
Oh wait........
Tuned in to see Frimpong take on Birmingham, only to find out he isn't even on the bench for Wolves.
Turns out he has a cold, and is at home tweeting about it. I suppose that's the only positive to come from Twitter not joining the blackout today. Wouldn't have a clue otherwise...
Come on Wolves. Can't stand Birmingham (obviously).
QPR-Chelsea about to start and there were no handshakes between the teams, just the captains.
Why is that?
What a crock of shit.
