Everton... might as well be Barcelona going by our record against them. Seriously, though, if we get past Villa and can beat Everton we can win the Cup. It's a pretty big "if", though, if for some reason Tevez isn't available.

Man one match at a time. One match at a time. Been through this before
only to fall short the next time on the pitch.

Hopefully, being at home will help a bit, though the last time was my second worst day of the season.

Pretty happy with that draw. All we could ask was a home tie against anyone but Utd or Arsenal. Everton are a bogey team but it's high time that was put to bed

this is a great draw for us. IF we beat villa and everton, then the only "big" team left is the scum or arsenal . I would like a FA cup final with the scum

Smashing draw. Two home games against middle of the road teams. We couldn't ask for more. I know we have a shite recent record v Scouse 2 but on the other hand we did beat them in the 6th round and semi final in our last two cup final appearances.
Then add in that Chelsea, Scouse, Spuds and one of Arse or Filth are out, what a golden chance for us.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

shit shit shit shit shit we are terrible against everton every time. put out a weak team against villa and go out because if we don't we'll all start thinking we can win the cup and we can't. not now we've got everton we are terrible against them.

Our main and only focus at present should and I'm sure will be Villa, as we must beat them.

Only 12 teams left on the dancefloor and we are one of them. Opportunity Knocks, as the reality is we would only have to beat 1 of the other top 5 teams in order to win this competition. Over to you City, the chance is right there in front of you.

And as a side note, for Cup games why don't we stick the away fans on the East Stand 3rd tier up in the gods - enough seats for them up there and would reduce their impact. Just a thought.

I fancy us to knock over villa. esp as we will be at home.

for some reason despite our horrible record vs everton if we and them face each other i see us doing them. convincingly too.

spot on piccs - we don't have to face any of the other top six until the semi at the earliest - and none of them after. the cup should be ours.
