Arsenal v Spurs should be fun for everyone, Sherwood won't be holding back and Wengers pride won't allow him to put out too weak a side. Goals goals goals.

I used to love 3rd round day when I was younger. As soon as the wait for Santa was over, I'd be counting the days until the FA Cup.

Newcastle v Cardiff also a good one to watch. Ole's first test as a EPL Manager.

Rikand

damn you negredo

Blackburn ran their socks off for the first half hour, they look pretty tired now, I can see city trashing them second half.

KevIRL

Bournemouth v Burton just called off due to Waterlogged pitch

KevIRL

**** presents eh?

Amirani

Great atmosphere at Ewood, would be pretty special if Blackburn could nick the win.

mike65

Blackburn 1-1 Man City, so an extra game neither wants.

Jesus, this thread and the lack of match threads really speaks to the lack of interest in the Cup.

Sheff Utd 1-0 at HT

Only sniff of any upset is Grimsby 1 - 0 Huddersfield and The Blades leading a very listless Villa, oh and
Wigan 2 - 2 MK Dons, Wigan were 2 up.

Sheff Utd win 2-1 at Villa
MK Dons draw 3-3 at Wigan despite missing a pen

Decent start

Forest should beat West Ham later today, will be most disappointed if we don't take them, especially at home. Kevin Nolan suspended. Matt Jarvis likely to take his place - the one player I fear in the Hammers team.

3.5 out of 4 aint bad at all. Only one of them a home pick as well, would still think MK Dons can get through the replay
