Only four PL sides guaranteed to be in 5th Rd! City, Utd, Watford, Palace or Spurs. You would expect Wolves and c******a to progress but Brighton might struggle at WBA. At least 9 of last 16 from Championship or below and most top Championship sides out (Leeds, Norwich, Sheff Utd, Forest, Hull) However I can only see Man Utd stopping Man City. Remaining nine: QPR or Pompey Bristol City Derby M'boro' or Newport Swansea Millwall Brentford or Barnet Doncaster Wimbledon
With a favourable draw I can see a semi-final looming...

I reckon we'll get drawn away to Swansea.
That's if we survive the replay.

Disappointing draw should we beat Portsmouth; neither a so called "easy match" nor a big money spinner. I guess it may get picked up by tv though.

By my reckoning, if Kakay, Furlong, Lynch or Manning get a yellow card in the replay they are suspended for the Watford game (if we beat Pompey that is).

Without putting the mockers on it and therefore losing to Portsmouth I think it's a good draw.
-It's at Loftus Road and just remember that when the crowd get going, even the PL players can get intimidated.
-It's a game we wouldn't be expected to win therefore the pressure is all on them.
-It's a local derby so will be a full house
-It may be live on TV so a good revenue steam for the Club.
-We could have drawn any of these clubs
Bristol City Derby M'boro' or Newport Swansea Millwall Brentford or Barnet Doncaster Wimbledon
and whilst the chance of getting to the next round may have been greater against half of them.....this is QPR we are talking about!
A home tie makes it a positive draw and a home tie against a PL side surely makes it a good draw?

Watford's 5th round FA Cup match, be it against us or Portsmouth, will be on Friday evening, covered by BT sport.bt.com/news/bt-sport-reveals-exclusive-fa-cup-fifth-round-fixtures-chosen-for-live-tv-coverage-S11364323941373Our coverage starts on Friday, 15 February, when either Portsmouth or Queens Park Rangers will host Premier League opposition in the form of Watford. Currently flying high in League One, Pompey will be hoping to emulate their victorious 2008 campaign, when BT Sport pundit Harry Redknapp ended the south-coast club's 99-year wait for a second FA Cup trophy. A replay with Championship QPR stands in the way of them and a fifth-round tie after Nahki Wells' 76th-minute goal cancelled out Lee Brown's first-half effort in the first meeting between the two. Steve McClaren's Hoops will host Portsmouth at Loftus Park next Tuesday to decide who will face the Hornets.
