Tomorrow sees the draw for the third round of the FA Cup, i expect Big Phil, Fergie, Rafa, and Arsene will all be having a sleepless night tonight, hoping to avoid the Super Lions who have now gone an impressive seven and a half hours without conceeding a goal.

So this weekend sees the 4th round of the competion famous worldwide for its shocks, so will the television networks be showing us div 3 Millwall winning at Hull, NO, will they be showing us div 1 Fulham and div 2 Coventry away to non league opposition, NO, how about div 2's best footballing side Swansea at cup holders Portsmouth or Middlebrough's tricky tie at Wolverhampton, again a big fat NO, instead they will treat us to Manchester United vs Tottenham who play each other at least twice every season and will soon meet in the carling cup final, and Liverpool vs Everton who played each other on monday.
Now thats vision.

Now thats vision. Its now suggested on sky sports that Man Utd and Liverpooll will be fielding weakened sides, and Redknapp is quoted as saying Tottenham will be playing their 'weakest possible team'

Man United have had every tie televised for the past 4 years. Joke.
Setanta and Itv have butchered it this year. Setanta's move of an East Mids derby to a Friday hasn't gone down well with the Forest fans.

So where will the shocks be ?
Millwall at Hull ?
Millwall quickly sold out their 2500 ticket allocation and have since sold the additional 500 they were given, so 3000 of South East London finest will be cheering for the super lions on Humberside-they will be boosted by the loan signing of Izale Mcleod and surely facing a much weakened Hull side who will need to rest players for their trip to the hell hole on wednesday.
Torquay at home to Coventry ?
Torquay are a decent non-league team, who could well be returning to division 4 come august, but surely they couldn't beat a team three divisions above them ? well they did in the last round when they knocked out Blackpool, and Coventry are one of the most inconsistant teams in the country, so maybe!
Kettering at home to Fulham ?
No chance
Ipswich at Chelsea ?
No chance
Harlepool at home to west ham ?
If god existed it would be a certainty as i'm sure he/she would hate them as much as the rest of us do or should.
Doncaster at home to Aston Villa ?
A definite possibility, the South Yorkshire side have finally discovered where the goalposts are situated, and the Villa did make a huge meal of their trip to lowly Gillingham.
Burnley at West Brom ?
No chance after their extra time drama in midweek
Wolverhampton at home to Middlesbrough ?
Every chance, but would it really be such a shock ?
Swansea at Portsmouth ?
This could be the one, Pompey seem to be in complete disarray since Redknapp left and was replaced by the clueless Adams, they will find this tie an altogether different prospect to the one against Bristol City, Swansea are the best footballing side in the lower leagues and play crisp attractive passing football and may just be too cute for the Hampshire side.

There's bound to be one or two but it could be any Hartlepool stand out for me. Awful place to travel and they're usually decent a home these days.

If Hartlepool win Riggers it will mean there is a God, so i will be going straight out to buy a Bible, Quoran, Turban, some saffron robes and getting my foreskin chopped off.

I'm not sure that east-anglia is north in the true sense of the word and we don't dodge soap, whatever that is ;D Four corkers here Jimmy Bullard [Fulham - Hull] £5m Emile Heskey [Wigan - Aston Villa] £3.5m Peter Lovenkrands [Schalke - Newcastle] Mido [Middlesbrough - Wigan] Loan
