Cup Fact: Preston are the only side, still in the draw, not be drawn away from home in a single round (contrasting our luck getting drawn away in the first three).
Until P****e lose, I want stronger teams to stay in as they have more chance of beating the stripy twats. Apart from them I don’t mind who wins, but it would be nice if it wasn’t one of the usual suspects, so hopefully not Man City. Therefore quarter final preferences:
Priority No 1: Fulham beat the Nigels Priority 2a: If Fulham win, Bournemouth to beat Man City. Not bothered about the rest. Priority 2b: If Fulham lose, Man City to win and Villa to win

After Preston, C.Palace are the lowest ranked side in the Cup (In terms of league positions). The rest are top half Premier League.
Forest through to a semi final after 2 bad pens from Brighton against just the one bad penalty from Forest. 3 penalty shoots out victories from Forest in this FA cup campaign.
Would've been nice to see Bournemouth win so we had 4 'new' teams in the semi finals, but for the purpose of Palace not winning the cup, it's far better for City to have progressed.
On paper Palace are the clear weakest of the 4, but they can concentrate on the Cup whereas Villa have top 4/5 and the Champions League as well
Agree with you on Villa and the Premier Table says Palace are the weakest link but definitely not on form or that their England Internationals are all fit at the same time.
So we have Aston Villa v Palace Man City V Forest
Villa v Palace is 50/50 and Palace to shade it. A very unpopular choice on a Charlton forum but Palace to reach the final.
Forest have had to rely on two penalty shoot outs but they have a great will to win and two impressive CB's in the Brazilian Murello and the Serb Milenkovic.
Man city are the Course and Distance winners who have wobbled this season but will still finish in a Champions league place and will edge this match.
Man City v Palace Final 🤦🏻♂️
And the torture of living in an area surrounded by Palace and Chelsea fans continues...🤷🏻♂️

Makes this comment ironic now.
Why was Gibbs-White taken off a minute from time when he is normally a penalty taker 🤔
3 penalty shoots out victories from Forest in this FA cup campaign.

Fingers crossed they can salvage something from a terrible season (by their standards) and stop Palace winning it.
But not this year now.
