Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all out before the 5th round.
I think that's 9 PL sides (if you count Spurs) who will be out already, with Palace and Forest still to play. And given City and United's current struggles it's a great chance for a club outside the big 6 to win it this year.*
*see you all in May for a third straight Manchester derby final.
Great start for Spurs. Concede in 1 minute 42 seconds. Absolute shocker from Kinsky the keeper
Obviously he should've saved it but the amount of goals Spurs concede because Porro has lost his man is ridiculous. He's an absolute liability defensively.

If we end up with a Palace vs Millwall final, I'm emigrating!
I really feel like this is Ange's last game. The only thing saving their season was the cups, but after 2 cup defeats in a week, I think he's done if they lose this
Don’t know how anyone can relax or cheer a good team going out of the cup when the scum and palace are in it just the pure vomit inducingness of either of them in the 1/4, semi or finals is beyond horrific . I know it’s the bigger picture and plenty of our fans can’t see beyond the end of their nose or care but for me it’s all bad news until them cnuts are out of the competition.

100% this. Loads of mediocrity left in the draw. You can guarantee that at least one of them's gonna get drawn at home to Plymouth/Preston/Ipswich.
Palace have taken points off all the supposedly bigger clubs left in the draw this season. The big clubs left in it can't be relied on at all this season, and all of them have got bigger fish to fry. Palace and Millwall can prioritise the cup. It's a major concern, particularly as both of them, particularly Palace, are unpleasantly competent at the moment.
Just watching the BBC highlights, not one team introduced so far that hasn’t made multiple changes, Newcastle 8 changes, Man City 10 changes and Leeds 10 changes etc etc.
I suspect today’s games had a lot of changes as well

The FA Cup is a joke now
Brighton charged £25 for their game against Chelsea yesterday and still had 6000 empty seats. For Brighton, aside from a "derby" against Palace, that's about the most attractive draw they could have got. But fans know their clubs don't really care about the cup anymore - why bother going to a game knowing that your team isn't desperate to win it and the manager probably sees it as an inconvenience.
And the less relevant it becomes, the more the media people desperately waffle on about the magic of the cup. It's a shame. Football has completely sold it's soul in this country.

Yet the Premier League teams demanded the removal of replays because their players were playing too many games...
Seems like they've found a resolution to that themselves then, they just managed to con the FA in the process

The Charlton injury curse has now been passed on to our exes.

Comparable teams to us HAVE reached finals. Wigan and Pompey winning the FA Cup, that extraordinary final of the EFL Cup where Swansea beat Bradford.
