Crap! Just wanted to stay away from an away draw with one of the big 4, so it is off to Old Trafford, figures laugh

After this round there can be a maximim of 9 Prem clubs left which leaves things pretty interesting as probably half will be from lower leagues. Oldham has a good shot at getting through to the final 16 after their upset of Everton! clap

It looks an easy draw for Fulham on paper but we will probably lose the replay to Bristol Rovers.

I really hope Havant can win so they get a dream day out at Anfield.

Bit of a dull draw overall.

I want Stoke to beat Newcastle so Arsenal could beat Stoke, because realistically Stoke would be an easier team to beat

Either way I look at it though Arsenal could beat both Newcastle or Stoke, so I don't really mind who we play.

These draws have been brilliant for the spirit of the tounament i think, the amount of prem teamsthat will have to be out of the competition is brilliant, and the lower league teams have a better shot at getting something out of the competition, all i want in the 5th round draw is for atleast 1 match with 2 of the big 4 in.

^That is what I wanted to see as well steve! Why couldn't it have been Arsenal v Chelski! or something along those lines. Since Boro won the league cup a few years ago I can't recall anyone outside the big 4 winning anything which can't be a good thing for the sake of competition.

^ please dont remind me of boro winning the league cup, i went to watch the bloody game !!!!

Anyway, yeah chelski/le arse would be a great match, and at the 4th round it will just show how much the top teams want the trophy, plus, i think that the bigger teams should automatically get drawn away from home, it sounds a bad and pointless idea, but isnt the whole Fa cup about smaller clubs getting extra money and keep in love with the game, that would help alot of people !!!

annoying for man utd to get yet another premiership team, why every year do we end up facing a top league opponent constantly while the rest of the top 4 breeze through with easy pickings?

i go to swindon games fairly often and i'm pleased with that draw, we really wanted a money spinner but i suppose either opponent would bring a good sized croud since rovers would be a local derby. However, at the moment we don't have a striker who can hit the net so we will probably end up losing to barnet

Haywood

Im happy with facing PNE, provided we get past Sheff Weds, neither are teams that a 'Premiership' side such as ourselves should struggle in. Problem is I can see us losing to both, well either.

We've been granted a nice draw we should do our bit and get through.

^ Pulling for your Rams Tom. After this horror season a nice cup run would be a bit of fresh air your supporters deserve it, still turning up in good numbers when the team is handed a knife in a gunfight
