I think it is more exciting with 2 of the big boys eliminated. Some tasty ties to look forward to. Bradford will fancy their chances against either Sunderland or Fulham. Man Utd won't fancy a trip to PNE or Sheffield Utd. No doubt LVG will complain about the pitch and the weather again! Derby have a great chance of going through. 

 

What will be on the telly? Definitely the Man Utd game. Bet that will be on Friday on BBC.

You would think Bradford have a shout of being in front of the cameras

If it is Sunderland, I think it will be on telly because there will be a decent chance of a shock. I'd actually have Bradford as favourites against Fulham.

I can see Bradford winning Sunderland if they prepare themselves!

The rest of the fixtures don't interest or excite me, I was hoping Derby would get a good draw. Reading is as dull as Sunday dinner without gravy!

i have not paid any attention to this, its been sort of dull but i did watch the cambridge game. i would like bradford to do well because they are one of the last teams from beneath the championship.

Mmm,thanks for your support @liampie.

Bradford would be a good tie for TV if they play Sunderland, don't think they'll bother if it's Fulham. But chances are they'll just go for the big audiences and go for the Arsenal and Yerknighted matches.

 

With just Liverpool, Arsenal and United in the fifth round, there's a good chance an unfamiliar name will make it to the final. I hope so anyway, it always makes for a more memorable spectacle than when it's the big four and their slightly bored fans challenging for honours again.
