Matches will be played across the weekend of the 3rd of January.

Favorable draws for all the big teams, which may be a little boring. The bigger the upset if there will be one, though.

An away draw, how *bleep* predictable. We never ever get home draws smh.

I'd like to know what homeless person called Stan you have to *bleep* to get a home draw.

Wimbledon

I thought they went into administration

They did, became MK Dons. Fans didn't like it so created their own club in the spirit of what Wimbledon was.

Had to start from the very bottom of the English leagues and now are in league 2 I think, it's quite the story really.

BUMP!!!
Found it.

Let's pls discuss the FA Cup in this thread from here on in and try to keep it active on the first page of this section.

Today's matches:
Bristol City v West Ham United
Cue Andy Carroll hat-trick. One with the left, one with the right and one with his locks.

Aston Villa v Bournemouth
Villa can't score for shit. So the high-flyers from the Championship will fancy their chances against their Prem opponents today. Will a lose compound more pressure on Lambert and edge him a little closer to the sack?

Brighton v Arsenal
The defending champions travel to the Amex stadium to take on Chris Hughton's chargers. We've seen a few top guns fall at the hands of some lowly ranked teams this round alone, question is will Arsene and his players know this and step up to the task?
Word is Akpom will miss 20 sitters but RG doesn't mind.

EL

Keeping it active on first page might be a tough task, given that the Cup games happen once a month from now till May, and with each round, there are fewer games. Also, some of the bigger teams are already out, which is closely correlated with the interest the cup would gather. (Not talking about hipsters, including Moal).

I can't do anything about it really lol, club gives no shit about the competition.

For example we booked a trip to Dubai during this weekend before we lost in the previous round. It's like they are not even hiding their agenda anymore.

Can't beat City flying off to Abu Dabhi to play a friendly mid week.

Mixture of excitement and fear for this game.

I'm not really that afraid. The boys should be steaming hot after last week's result, only thing we should be wary of is getting ahead of ourselves. Even if we take an early lead, we should remain tactful and aware. Just look at what happened to Chelsea y'day.

Meanwhile, WHU have progressed with a 1-0

Arsenal are as good as out of the cup if you ask me.
