#1 Man City v Burnley #2 Man Utd v Fulham #3 Brighton v Grimsby #4 Sheff Utd v Blackburn
Pretty crap draw considering the teams left in it
It would be a surprise if all 4 home teams don't progress, a massive shock if the first 3 don't.
City vs United would be a humdinger of course, but Brighton vs Fulham would have been interesting or even the first two ties with the Manchester clubs away would have been better.
Grimsby at home to a PL side would have been nice too.
Man U drawn at home for the 452nd cup game running (or so it seems).
Not the tie Grimsby would've wanted, a long old journey for them but at least the game will be on tv so they'll get more money. Amazing effort from them to reach the quarters.
@JohnBoyUK - Can’t be complaining, you’ve got a new karting track to enjoy for next 15 years. Think of all the money that Levy will make because of it.

Didn't someone say he was shit and if he played we would beat United...
1 Grimsby Town
2 Blackburn Rovers (this would've been Charlton's number... Stockport -> Walsall -> Leicester -> Blackburn)
3 Brighton
4 Sheffield United or Tottenham Hotspur
5 Fulham
6 Manchester City
7 Manchester United
8 Burnley
Grimsby aren't only the lowest placed team in it they are the lowest placed team in their league in it.
That draw had Arsenal, Man City, Everton, Hull, Sunderland, Wigan, Charlton and Sheff Utd.
Grimsby are the big outliers in this draw
PL 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th
Champ 1st, 2nd, 4th
L2 16th

And we leave the best CB at the club by a country mile, who won the WC, on the bench. The mind just boggles.
