January 10, 20169 yr String of very dull games yesterday and no real upsets that grabbed the attention. Could be down to the inclement conditions or the fact the third round came at the end of a busy festive programme. You need football this time of year though - imagine how dull January would be if not packed with matches!
January 10, 20169 yr Pleased for Oxford, at least there has been one upset! Must admit, I caught glimpses of the Man Utd game yesterday, very very lucky! But an awful mistake by the Sheffield United defender, there was no need to make that tackle. But they're in the 4th round and that's all that matters.
January 10, 20169 yr Shame my second team Swansea were the one Prem club to be on the wrong end of an upset but huge credit to Oxford they played amazing and far above a League 2 team! Some great games today that Spurs - Leicester match as well, hope the league game this week is even half as good.
January 10, 20169 yr Tottenham vs Leicester was a good match but Tottenham should count themselves lucky that they got that late penalty. I think Leicester will win the replay because their home form has been very good this season.
January 11, 20169 yr Great scenes after Agard put us 2-1 up at West Brom: :D https://mobile.twitter.com/ycfc_TWS/status/...6534528/video/1 It's just a shame we keep conceding goals in the last minute :(
January 11, 20169 yr I was hoping for a draw against Man Utd as my dad supports them and I think we can actually beat them, and it's actually happened! With us at home, I think we could spring an upset!
January 11, 20169 yr A draw against Derby should = 5th round for Man Utd but the way we've been playing this season who knows what could happen.
January 11, 20169 yr A draw against Derby should = 5th round for Man Utd but the way we've been playing this season who knows what could happen. It's the FA Cup, anything could happen. As it, I am expecting a very boring 0-0.
January 11, 20169 yr Tough draw for West Ham, which should be televised. Nothing to fear from Liverpool given our results against them this season and Klopp may field another reserve team (if unlikely). Can't imagine they'd want to play us either. Exeter would be tough too, but the real desire is for a cup run to mark the last season at Upton Park. Billic has stared he'd prefer to win the Cup than finish in the top 4!

We owe you a beating, so here's hoping! (Though I fully expect us to play a much weakened side again).
January 11, 20169 yr Nice draw for Colchester, although they would probably rather to be away from home. Hopefully for them it will be televised.
January 12, 20169 yr Assuming all the televised ties are chosen before the replays, my predictions are Carlisle or Yeovil v Everton Colchester v Tottenham or Leicester Derby v Man Utd Northampton or Franchise FC v Chelsea Wycombe or Aston Villa v Man City They normally steer clear of matches dependent on replays, but I think all of the above would be reasonably attractive regardless of how they go. The one note of caution would be the risk of replays being postponed, meaning the fourth round matches may not be played as scheduled.
January 12, 20169 yr I think Liverpool vs West Ham would be televised (or Exeter vs West Ham). That's a strong possibility. It's probably the most likely of the ones not in my list.
January 12, 20169 yr That's a strong possibility. It's probably the most likely of the ones not in my list. I would be shocked if Liverpool/Exeter vs West Ham is not televised.
January 12, 20169 yr Author Either one of the matches would make a good game for TV. The replay of Leicester v Tottenham will be live on BBC.
January 12, 20169 yr When Tottenham equalised, I assumed that the BBC started praying that nobody would score a winner.
January 13, 20169 yr Either one of the matches would make a good game for TV. The replay of Leicester v Tottenham will be live on BBC. Couldn't they give one of the lower league sides some TV coverage instead of showing the reply of one the matches they showed.
January 13, 20169 yr They could have shown Bristol City v West Brom the BBC could. BT are now showing that replay. It's not hard to understand why the BBC didn't want to devote two hours of prime-time to that match though. Leicester v Tottenham was the obvious choice to me.
