Don't know why fergie keeps going to utd matches. It must arguably harder for him that anyone else to watch them play like this.

Happy enough for us, kids did well, the more senior players did not. Shitload of games coming up in a short period of time thanks to the replay. Going to be tight going with all our injuries.

Yes and that replay will really help you with that fixture congestion and tiredness and injuries of the players.

Master stroke.

Now that was an FA Cup tie. Fantastic result for Oxford and an incredible performance. Wish I could have been there!

Followed that up with a 2-0 away win at Millwall in the JP Trophy southern area final first leg. Scoff all you want at that, winner goes to Wembley! :)

Fifth round or beyond five times in the past seven seasons.

We are doomed to be labelled "FA Cup specialists".

Nice draw for you, a chance to rub Pardew's nose in it.

I can't see why you think it a good draw for Reading. As a Palace supporter, playing Reading is the tie I'd have chosen. We are good away from home.

A home draw at this stage is good, no matter who against.

What made it interesting was Pardew's return.

The BBC coverage is great - like last year they get the goals up online within a few minutes.

I fully expect our wonderful form in the league to NOT materialise in our visit to Old Trafford but I am hopeful.

Well, we were unlucky not to come away with a win. I'm pretty confident that we can beat them in the replay.

Brilliant for Everton, Palace and Watford. Hopefully we can knock Man United out and then we'll have a proper tournament with motivated teams. Looking forward to it.

Costa's gonna get his wish and be sold I think. The big premiership bullys were being mean to him.

I'm hoping/guessing I was the only person to watch the AFC Fylde/Wigan Athletic game on Friday. One of the most penalties of penalties that's ever been given to let them back into the match, only by using firearms could it have been a more blatant foul.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
