Further proof that the premier league is Further ahead than ever before.Twelve premier teams and just 4 championship teams remaining and probably no one from leagues 1 and 2.Sad really but the likes of Chesterfield reaching the semi final is a thing of the past. |  | |

Plenty of teams left in there who with home advantage we shouldn't be worried about and could get a result against. |  | |

As long as the two Manchesters, Newcastle and the winner of Villa/Tottenham get drawn against each other (mainly to get some bigger names out the cup) I feel like any of those other games (especially at home) could be winnable. My personal pick would be 2, 4, 10 (now) or 16 at home |  | |

If you pit prem teams against EFL teams who are in the middle of a massively contested period you will end up with a draw like this. Sad to see Coventry, Blackburn etc field a far weakened side than their prem opponents. The only reason Plymouth won was because Liverpool have a game next week and were forced to play kids |  | |

Alex Scott !!!! Much like with Lee Hendrie, Micah Richards, or Rob and Romesh, i ask myself 'WHY' ?!! It won't be long before this lot are presenting Songs of Praise, Question time, or reading the news. Just pull the balls out of the bag and tell us the name of the team. I don't need to know who Millwall lost to in the 5th Rd in 1983 or debate whether our victory over Cardiff in 78 will have any bearing, or give us an advantage, if we face them again in 2025. |  | |
