Are your football team still in the cup?
Who do you play this weekend?
Think you'll win?
How far can you go in the competition?
We play Sheffield United at home. I was impressed with the way they annihilated Cov City on Boxing Day but our class should see us win by 3-1.
I think we can get to at least the semi finals and from there who knows?

Palace have Sunderland Palace have been knocked out in the third round in five of the last six campaigns. Not looking good i don't think. And it's payback time for Sunderland, with Palace beating them in the Play-Off semis last season. Come on Palace ;D Sure we can win!!  |

Steph, I thought you were a Yeovil fan? They got a better result than Palace today anyway.  Whiskey, You got your teams score right but the wrong way round ;D As for Coventry, we got the job done against Crew beating them 3-0 but we didn't play them off the park like we did in the league game where we lost 1-0. It was good to see us playing good passing football along the floor rather than the old hoove to the big man upfront. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind City playing like that if we actually had a big man upfront. McSheffrey had the best game I have ever seen him play for Coventry. I think some City fans favour him because he is from Coventry and I have seen him get given high marks for his performances in certain games by the Coventry Evening Telegraph when he has been no better than any other City player. However if he gets high marks from the fans in Monday's telegraph they will actually be well deserved for once. City never get any further than the fourth round so hopefully we can get Man Utd in Round 4 and sell Highfield Road out (I did hope for Villa). Thats presuming Utd get into Round 4. I wouldn't mind a nightout in Beijing tonight! ;D |

I am a Yeovil and Palace fan ;D Palace lost  Yeovil won Would have prefered a Palace win though, i can't see Yeovil getting much further, first time in the 4th round for 56 yrs or so. Miracles can happen though  |

Blackburn fan here, We had Cardiff in the 3rd round and did look to have it sewn up with a slender 1-0 lead but they equalised to force the replay.........luckily that'll be played at fortress Ewood Park. I can see us making it through, hopefully drawing an 'easy' team in the forth round (hopefully Coventry) so i can go and watch my team again!! But having said that i'd take anyone except Chelsea or Arsenal, as anything can happen in the one off games!!

Well I have just watched the 4th Round draw and I am ectastic. Maybe I would have prefered City to be at home to Newcastle as it would be cheaper for me as a fan but from the clubs point of view it is a dream draw. I can't wait either. It has always been my dream to see City play at Old Trafford or St James's Park. Even when we were in the Premiership as back then I didn't go to many away games because I was quite young. I reckon City have a chance of nicking a draw and taking them back to Highfield Road. Whatever happens though it is going to be a great day.

Slim chance of us getting through i think, if we try hard and play well.

The F.A. cup is a meaningless competition though  League placings are far more important anyway  |

Dunno why you bother with a boring F.A. Cup game when the league is much better Although I think somebody is a bit bitter about his team getting knocked out of the cup on Saturday ;D I do kind of agree that the FA Cup has lost its importants among some of the big clubs. I think teams see it as a passage into Europe more than anything these days. That said I can't wait to go to St James' Park at the end of the month to see City play against one of the biggest clubs in Europe.  |
