FA cup 4th round draw 2012/13

Norwich v Luton Town

Oldham Athletic v Mansfield/Liverpool

Macclesfield Town v Wigan/Bournemouth

Derby County v Blackburn Rovers

Hull City/Leyton Orient v Barnsley

Middlesbrough v Aldershot Town

Millwall v Aston Villa

Leeds United/Birmingham City v Tottenham

Brighton v Swansea/Arsenal

Crystal Palace/Stoke v Man City

West Ham/Man Utd v Fulham/Blackpool

Southend United/Brentford v Chelsea

Reading v Sheffield United

Huddersfield Town v Leicester City

QPR/West Brom v Sheffield Wednesday/MK Dons

Bolton/Sunderland v Cheltenham/Everton

As a neutral it is hard to find a tie that sticks out at you but I can imagine for fans of these clubs they might seem tasty.

What are your thoughts and predictions of the draw?

Maybe Leeds home to Tottenham if they win their replay? Nightmare for ITV and ESPN!

Brighton v Swansea/Arsenal stands out because of the philosophies of the clubs being very similar, not that I'd bother watching that one.

Happy with that draw. A big Premiership side coming to the AMEX. Hopefully they put up more of a fight than Newcastle

Games that should be on ITV IMO

Brentford/Southend vs Chelsea
Stoke/Palace vs Man City

Macc vs Wigan could well be on TV.

Macc vs Bournemouth certainly wouldn't.

Perhaps best for Macc then if Wigan win and they can make more cash from round 4, albeit with a reduced chance of getting to round 5.

Think Millwall v Villa could be a tv game

I reckon Palace/Stoke v City will be on the box, can't see Macc getting live airtime even if its Wigan, no real stand out ties though.

Norwich vs Luton ?

My beloved Oldham v Liverpool? Potential upset after our result at Forest

Forgot about that game

It should be that game and the Chelsea game on ITV then IMO.

With 'Ice Station Zebra' being one of the coldest grounds in the country, especially now we only have three stands is not a place they may fancy coming to in January. Hopefully our boys will be up for it and put in a good performnace and maybe a win or draw. trip back to Anfield and more money for the club would be good plus TV money as well.

We have caused a couple of upsets in recent times, Man City (1-0) back in 2005, Everton away (1-0) 5 years ago and now forest away a couple of days ago.

Yeah, I think Oldham v Liverpool will be on TV for the potential upset and the possibility of another Suarez controversy.

Oldham vs Liverpool confirmed for ITV. 4pm kick off Sunday 27th January

extra bit of income for us (Oldham) being on TV. Can't wait to get my ticket next week!

Not being funny but how is that Man Utd/West Ham vs Fulham/Blackpool game on TV? If that ends up as West Ham vs Fulham my god that will be crap.

Norwich vs Luton not being on TV is of no surprise with it being at our place, reckon if it was at Luton it would be in with a good shout. Surprised to see Birmingham/Leeds vs Spurs in ahead of Brighton vs Arsenal/Swansea

Simply put the reason the Man Utd/West Ham v Blackpool/Fulham game is on the TV is because Man Utd may be in it and Man Utd equals viewers.

Well I hope West Ham win just to put egg on the TV companies faces. Pick the best ties, not the big teams. I mean seriously would they get more viewers for Man Utd vs Fulham or Brighton vs Swansea/Arsenal? I know which one I'd watch and you know I hate this fannying about passing on the floor crap

To be fair I hate how much they are on but I always end up watching the whole thing. Just because they might lose that is though.

Shocked Millwall vs Aston Villa isnt on as well, that should be quite a good game.

Being as this 4th round is on this weekend, seems to be a good time to continue this discussion.

We have Huddersfield away and I fear the worst. We have won 5 on the bounce, they havent won since November. Also we have done the double over them in the league (including a 6-1 mauling at the King Power Stadium) so by the law of averages I cant see us winning. The only saving grace is Foxes loanees Neil Danns and Jermaine Beckford (who has a pehonmenal scoring record in the FA Cup) wont be eligible to play.

Luton have beaten Norwich 1-0 away, the first non-league side to beat a Premiership team for 24 years! Well done Luton. City and Arsenal both squeaked through, QPR lost 2-4 at home to MK Dons which qualifies as another cupset. And Giggs has just scored, 1-0 United after 2 minutes.

Brentford 2-2 Chelsea, Brentford in the lead twice but couldn't hold on.

Another cupset, this one the biggest of the lot. Leeds 2-1 Spurs.

Nah Luton bigger

Oldham 1-0 Liverpool after 3 minutes!

You wont get any bigger than Norwich 0-1 Luton in a long time tbf

But still if Oldham can beat Liverpool that would be one heck of an upset. Given Oldham's poor run of form in league one and the fact there playing Liverpool football club.

Sorry, I meant the biggest in terms of Tottenham being the biggest club to be knocked out of the FA Cup so far. Obviously, Luton beating Norwich is the biggest cupset for this year.

Booo, Suarez equalises.

Good win for Leeds, losing Becchio could be a big big blow for them Somma can finish well but that's it. Need to hang onto Becchio, Leeds have lost so many talented guys already like.

2-1 Oldham at HT, cupset back on!

Oh my, 3-1 Oldham!

For those who like these things the Cup draw rehearsal just threw up Arsenal v Luton & MK Dons v Man Utd. The real thing on the way soon...

What a goal for Liverpool and Joe Allen, a volley on the edge of the box which takes a massive deflection and in! 3-2, 11 minutes left.

3-2 FT. Well done to Oldham.

If Man Utd vs Reading is on any TV station there is something seriously wrong with this world

I love the fa cup

Home draw is great at this stage....More than happy with Leeds....

Feel for Luton and MK dons though..
