It really is quite astounding that we still have a better than 1/2 chance of drawing a non-prem side, I suppose i'd have to go for either Bristol or Huddersfield, it's about time we got an easier route to the final. Saying that we'll probably draw one of mancs, chelsea of arsenal now

We have to beat the top teams to win it so we might as well start now, good to meet them at Anfield as well instead of Wembley.

I want to win the FAC. The winner only gets £120,000 so its not about money, its about the glory of winning it.

might as well call that sheff utd not man city I think, probably only 6 prem sides in the last 16, wonder if that't a record

A win at OT would be sweet revenge for the 2-1 a few years back. A proper win, a thumping great 5 niller!!!!!!

So outside the big 4 only Boro and Portsmouth make it to the last 16. Doesn't say much for the standard of the whole PL at the moment. I wonder if the lack of prize money has anything to do with it. One more place in the PL equals 1/2million. 4 times the prize money for winning the FAC.

What are the odds of us winning the treble? It's still a possibility.

No- that simply won't do. If we win at Old Trafford i want us to rob them blind. And i do mean ROB! I want to be stood at Old trafford with a minute to go 1-0 down with them singing abuse at us and mocking us in that sh!te way that mancuunians do and then in the first minute of stoppage time a Torres equaliser. While we're going nuts and they're gutted and I want us to then finish them off in the 6th minute of ****ing stoppage time with a Carragher Header (anyone will do tbh) and I want them crying. I want them to feel that sense of devastation i cried myself to sleep with in 1999. I want them to feel like everything has fallen apart and watch their season go straight down the ****ter like ours did that season.

We've never given them payback for that and until they lose to us in the same way we never will- I want them feeling like they want to kill themselves- that's how I felt in '99 and thats what I want them to feel like this season!

I rhink we will get scum away.

I also think we will lose.

That 1999 cup match in purely football terms is one of my lowest moments as a Liverpool fan. For some reason it felt worse than losing to them in the Cup final in 96.

dom9 is the new AA.

We have a one in fifteen chance of drawing Man United.

Based on relative league positions and recent performances and results, I'd suggest we have rather less than a 50/50 chance of beating them - say, 2 in 5.

So I reckon the odds of us losing to Man United are 3/75.

Is that right? I hate stats.
