This year does have a predictable feeling with the draws, seem a bit rigged to me. All the bigger teams keep avoiding each other, last round and this next one.
Birmingham v Huddersfield would probably be the better game for the cup shock
Surprised that BBC havent taken the Newport game (BT have it again)
I think BT won main rights meaning they get first pick
So they pick Spurs reserves v Newport. Although i did read that Newport have sold over 7k tickets
Yeah if you had choice between Spurs v Newport (Prem v League 2 Rochdale v Millwall (League 1 v Champ) Birmingham v Huddersfield(Champ v Prem) Swansea v Notts County (Prem v League 1)
I think Spurs v Newport would be 1st choice and 2nd would be the other prem v league 2 match which BBC took
Notts County are absolutely flying at the moment, they've a lot of Premier League experience (despite age not being on their side) - Swansea on the other hand arent doing brilliant so we might get the upset if they prefer to concentrate on the League

To me it's only an upset when the higher ranked team really wants to win the match and trophy. A Swansea team resting 10 players and losing isn't much of an upset, when compared to say Bradford winning at Chelsea

Hopefully Spurs will smash Millwall a new one!
In the week before the 5th round date, Spurs have Arsenal in the league then Juventus away in the CL.
Not exactly ideal preparation for a trip to what isn't exactly the easiest place to go to.

I'm not sure whether or not that is still the case.
Fancy Millwall might get something.
Other 2 games still 0-0
