1-1

Nope, Cambridge Utd are out of the Cup after a late winner by Neill Collins.

Still 0-0 between Swansea and Havant & Waterlooville.

2-1 to Tottenham now

Car Expert

Reading have earned a replay.

Well done to Havant & Waterlooville, who have earned a replay against Swansea. Wonder if they'll be able to play the replay at their own ground...

So far with my predictions, I've only got 5 correct results and 1 perfect score (which was the Charlton match)...

Car Expert

1-1 is OK I guess. At least we have a second bite of the cherry.

The Oldham and Coventry results were very impressive.

As many as 12 Premier League teams could be out at the third round stage!

FA Cup 4th Round Draw

Good draw for Havant & Waterlooville, but I think Swansea will win the replay as it's been a while since a non-league side has reached the 4th round. Nevertheless, Swansea have faced all non-league sides so far, so at least it's a good reward for them in the end.

Don't mind if we go through or not now as we have to face Man Utd in the league the weekend before...

Car Expert

Well done boys (Oldham)!

Great result, shame we didn't get Man U in the 4th round.

What do people think of the draw?

Link above.

I'm old enough to remember Oldham in the Premiership...

Draw looks OK, but I fear it'll be irrelevant to Charlton, because I have a feeling West Brom will finish us off in the replay...

Depends if West Brom really want another trip to London Road this season...

Car Expert

Reading are only two points off the relegation zone...

Car Expert

Leics. actually won their last game

Charlton have forced West Brom to extra-time. Reading look set to be heading out of the FA Cup...

In League 2, the match between Peterborough and Accrington Stanley has ended 8-2

Car Expert

Charlton lose on penalties

Car Expert

We don't seem to be able to beat West Brom whatever we try...

Wow... Havant & Waterlooville were 3-0 up against Swansea (it's 3-1 now)!

Car Expert

And now Swansea have had a penalty saved!

Car Expert

Havant & Waterlooville are off to Anfield

Car Expert

Woo WATERLOOVILLE (I love that name hehe - *has stood next to the Waterlooville sign)

Good. The romance of the FA Cup is alive and well!

How could anyone support anything apart from Arsenal? They are soooooooo the best!

And No. 3 son and I are off to The Emirates for the first time next week for the cup tie against Newcastle.

Up the addicks...

Charlton play Watford at Vicarage Road today. Again, quite an important match...

Reading lost 2-0 to Man Utd...

In Scotland, the Peterhead-Berwick Rangers match ended 9-2 - funny how Peterborough won 8-2 the other day

Car Expert

We are about to lose



edit : we have equalised

I don't have a clue about football...in fact the only time I've watched a football on TV was in "Castaway"...
do you remember that ball called Wilson?

Wow... Arsenal got thrashed 5-1 by Tottenham!

Car Expert

My predictions for the FA Cup 4th round ties:

Southend 1-0 Barnsley
Liverpool 5-0 Havant & Waterlooville
Mansfield 1-1 Middlesbrough
Arsenal 1-1 Newcastle
Wigan 0-2 Chelsea
Portsmouth 2-0 Plymouth
Peterborough 1-2 West Brom
Oldham 1-1 Huddersfield
Derby 2-2 Preston
Watford 0-0 Wolves
Barnet 1-0 Bristol Rovers
Southampton 2-0 Bury
Coventry 2-1 Millwall
Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham
Sheff Utd 0-1 Man City
Hereford 2-1 Cardiff

So I've predicted Cupsets for Mansfield, Newcastle and Hereford.

Car Expert

Charlton are out of the FA Cup.



I can see Wigan winning, I think Arsenal will pull Newcastle apart, and the most likely upset to me seems to be Preston at Derby...

So are Reading

and Leyton Orient

and Lewes*



*Lewes probably could've got to the 4th round if we did beat Mansfield in the 1st round - we would probably have beaten Harrograte Railway and then there was the local derby against Brighton which could've gone either way...

Car Expert

Well I've already got that wrong as Barnsley are 1-0 up

Car Expert

Goodness me... Havant & Waterlooville have actually take the lead

Car Expert

In the end, it wasn't to be for Havant . But they can hold their heads up high after a great performance.

At least nine non-Premier League sides will now be in the 5th round after Preston's thrashing of Derby. No replays are needed so far.

As far as my predictions go, I've so far got 5 correct results and 2 perfect scores (Coventry and Southampton). I've also predicted the right number of Liverpool goals too.

Car Expert

I've taken a sudden and unexpected interest in the football results today!

Did you notice Luton's draw with Leeds by any chance?

Car Expert

No I've only been following the Havant/Liverpool match (my sudden interest in football will only make sense to anyone who's been following the organ forum )

Got Arsenal and Preston correct, at the moment getting the Wigan result wrong...

Very happy at the end of our trip, but I wasn't quite so sure at half-time...

The Emirates is a great stadium, and our transport arrangements worked surprisingly well - we drove into Richmond and took the Overground to Highbury & Islington because of engineering work on our normal route. Coming back we got straight on a train after arriving at the station, and even had seats all the way to Richmond. Much better than I expected.

So that was your first visit to Arsenal's new home, I guess. How does it compare to the old place (assuming you've been to the old place)...

Yes, first visit. The first time I've been able to get tickets . Much better view, although Highbury wasn't bad, and much more comfortable seats. And no all pervading odour of burgers-and-onions either. I wasn't sure about the atmosphere, but it improved as the match went on. The Newcastle fans seemed a great lot. It must be awful to have a long trip back like that after losing 3-0 and going out of the cup.

Glad you enjoyed your day, and the result!

Tickets are generally easy to come by for Charlton games. And the stadium does tend to have that burger and onion aroma wafting around...

Depends how many do head back north - Newcastle have a league game at the Emirates on Tuesday.

Car Expert

So only 6 Premier League sides remain in the FA Cup (the big four + Middlesbrough and Portsmouth). Could be a chance for one of the lower league sides to do a Millwall?

Car Expert

Quite possibly....

Had a thought - is this the first time ever that none of the FA Cup 4th round ties require a replay?

Nope. 1957 was the last time this occurred.

FA Cup 5th Round Draw
Bristol Rovers v Southampton
Cardiff City v Wolves
Sheffield United v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v Barnsley
Manchester United v Arsenal
Preston v Portsmouth
Coventry City v West Brom
Chelsea v Huddersfield Town

With three non-Premier League sides guaranteed a quarter-final place and Sheffield United playing Middlesbrough, there could be a non-Premier League team in the semi-finals at least. Man Utd v Arsenal and Cardiff v Wolves will be interesting.

Car Expert

Just when I thought today couldn't get any worse.

That's a pretty lousy draw, hard luck

Charlton move up a place in the Championship because of Crystal Palace's 1-0 defeat to Leicester

Car Expert

thank you Leicester City

1-0.
