FA CUP
ARSENAL vs HULL (1245 ko)
Third in the Premier League plays top of the Championship. And Hull will be keen to show their worth against a team that will have half an eye on next week's encounter with Barcelona. A lip-smacking, gold-plated chance of an upset? Perhaps, but Hull also have a rapid fire series of fixtures ahead and will not want to risk derailing their push for promotion. So we may end up seeing two sub-strength teams vying to progress to the quarter-finals. Draw.
READING vs WEST BROM
Yawn. Away win.
WATFORD vs LEEDS
The Hornets come into this on the back of good recent form, while Leeds - managed, at the time of writing, by Steve Evans who some will know from his Crawley days - languish in the lower reaches of the Championship. A routine home win? Of course.
BOURNEMOUTH vs EVERTON (1715 ko)
You have to wonder if Eddie Howe would be quietly relieved if his side departed the competition today, allowing them to re-double their focus on staying in the Premier League. That would be a massive achievement, if they can do it. Everton have a fortnight's break after today, so you can expect Roberto Martinez to field a full-strength side in what is his team's only remaining chance of success this season. This is a tough one to call, but a close match would give Everton the opportunity to have another go on their own turf. Draw.
PICK OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP
CARDIFF vs BRIGHTON (1230 ko)
Cardiff are - just - within reaching distance of a play-off place, while Brighton have a chance of returning to the top two today. Interestingly or otherwise, Cardiff have never beaten Brighton in the league. Away win.
FULHAM vs CHARLTON
It's not looking good for Charlton. They're second from bottom and six points and nine goals from safety. Fulham, meanwhile, sit six points above the drop zone and have a far superior goal difference. Home win.

MPH - you're right.... don't remember the Reading goals at all (and they weren't even late goals)

Going to be a strong quarter final line up with the exception of reading, so a home game might be vital.

Ludo, that game ended up 4-2. The cunts got a couple late on to take the gloss off.

Nevertheless, I want to avoid Everton too. I actually dread going there in the league while they've got that hatchet McCarthy in their team. You just know he thinks it will be amusing to go through Payet again.

Did we? Why the fuck don't I remember that? Oh well, I just want to avoid Everton, a proper bogey team.

We gave Reading a 4-0 tonking in their last game at UP... would be nice to do it again though!

Please dear God let us get past Blackburn and then draw Reading at home in the next round.
We owe them a proper tonking in one of our last games at Upton Park.

It's only a penalty if it's deliberate handball
If it's deliberate handball it's a yellow
Not even discussed at the time or after by the commentators from what I heard.

Barkley just comes across as a right cocky cunt who, if he wasn't playing football would probably be sniffing glue in a park in Merseyside or banged up.

Probably already mentioned, but how did McCarthy bit get a second yellow for the handball? Blatantly did I it on purpose, cheating cunt
