5th Round draw
Bristol Rovers v Southampton
Cardiff City v Wolves
Sheff Utd v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v Barnsley
Man Utd v Arsenal - VERY GOOD RESULT FOR EVERYONE ELSE :D
Preston v Portsmouth
Coventry v West Brom
Chelsea v Huddersfield
These are my very early predictions for the 5th round.

I am very happy with the draw !
I would like to have seen chelsea with a big draw instead of a bye but hey you can't get all you want !!
Considering we are up against it in the championship and champs league a nice wee cup run could do us the power of good (as long as we perform better than against Havant)

I think it's a bit of a stretch to think that Arsenal will defeat ManU at Old Trafford, but, hey. Pigs can fly under the proper conditions, and an African swallow...well...let's just say that in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

Hopefully Barnsley, who possess arguably more ability, will take a leaf out of the Havant & Waterlooville book and have a go at Liverpool. Nothing as boring as trying not to get beaten by a large score; I watched Hull City against Chelsea some time this season and Hull were seemingly trying to stop Chelsea from scoring instead of having fun.

not going to be easy the way we seem to playing this season - seems like the team hasn't really "gotten up" for the minnows.

Heres hoping they who shall not be named beat holy crap outta each other for 2 legs. Wanker, set your boys up for a draw lad. One touch of a shin for every 2 of the ball for both sides and i'll be a happy man. :)
Lower half of the champ at home.....tough to complain overmuch.

Hope that we see a better display from the team this time.
No taking Barnsley lightly, dominate and move on to the last 8.

I can't believe we didn't draw a big team. I thought for sure the draw would rig it so we would have to play the three other Big Four teams to win the FA Cup.

Even though its only Barnsley I'm sure we're going to make it difficult for ourselves and just scrape by.

I'd rather the lads not have to come from 2 down.

A good draw for Liverpool and a crap draw for United .... What could be better?

Chelsea having to play against Pompey away from Stamford Bridge.
