Strange comment from the pundit and Ru1986 that Chelsea have got the easy draw. Liverpool were knocked out at home after a replay by a team fighting against relegation from the Championship. Man Utd were beaten at home by a League 1 side. Arsenal were knocked out by a mid-to-lower Premier League side. Villa are playing a Championship team in administration, and Spurs got to this round by beating a League 1 side. Fulham have a home tie against a League 2 side standing between them and the last 8. I can't remember who Man City played.
If Chelsea have been getting the easy draw, who's got the hard draw?

Agree totally, it's not that Chelsea get the easier draws, they just make it look easy. 3 decent championship sides beaten 5-0, 2-0 and 4-1. All better than Reading who beat Liverpool and Leeds who beat Man Utd.

That's the magic of the cup - the form book goes out the window.

Bit like watching Charlton in the Third Division.
