    Preston North End v  Aston Villa
    Fulham v Crystal Palace 
    AFC Bournemouth v Manchester City
    Brighton & Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest or Ipswich Town

    Fulham always for the stripey c***s. Could have been a lot easier for them

    Cup Fact: Preston are the only side, still in the draw, not be drawn away from home in a single round (contrasting our luck getting drawn away in the first three).

    I'd like anyone that isn't Palace or Man City.

    Until P****e lose, I want stronger teams to stay in as they have more chance of beating the stripy twats. Apart from them I don’t mind who wins, but it would be nice if it wasn’t one of the usual suspects, so hopefully not Man City. Therefore quarter final preferences:

    Priority No 1: Fulham beat the Nigels
    Priority 2a: If Fulham win, Bournemouth to beat Man City. Not bothered about the rest.
    Priority 2b: If Fulham lose, Man City to win and Villa to win

    After Preston, C.Palace  are the lowest ranked side in the Cup (In terms of league positions). The rest are top half Premier League.

    I'd actually quite like to see Palace beat Fulham then get humiliated by Brighton in the semi final.

    You just know they're going to win the cup, and beat Brighton into the bargain.

    Palace in a stroll against Fulham and a stalemate with Forest and Brighton.

    Why was Gibbs-White taken off a minute from time when he is normally a penalty taker 🤔

    Brighton losing on penalties reminds me of our penalty shootout victory over them.

    Forest through to a semi final after 2 bad pens from Brighton against just the one bad penalty from Forest.
    3 penalty shoots out victories from Forest in this FA cup campaign.

    Semi final draw.

    Palace v Villa
    Forest v Bournemouth or Man City.

    Would've been nice to see Bournemouth win so we had 4 'new' teams in the semi finals, but for the purpose of Palace not winning the cup, it's far better for City to have progressed.

    On paper Palace are the clear weakest of the 4, but they can concentrate on the Cup whereas Villa have top 4/5 and the Champions League as well

    Agree with you on Villa and the Premier Table says Palace are the weakest link but definitely not on form or that their England Internationals are all fit at the same time. 

    So we have Aston Villa v Palace
    Man City V Forest

    Villa v Palace is 50/50 and Palace to shade it.
    A very unpopular choice on a Charlton forum but Palace to reach the final.

    Forest have had to rely on two penalty shoot outs but they have a great will to win and two impressive CB's in the Brazilian Murello and the Serb Milenkovic.

    Man city are the Course and Distance winners who have wobbled this season but will still finish in a Champions league place and will edge this match.

    Man City v Palace Final 🤦🏻‍♂️

    And the torture of living in an area surrounded by Palace and Chelsea fans continues...🤷🏻‍♂️

    But the upside is when they lose it's bloody marvellous.

    Forest v Villa final please - wouldn't care who won, Forest have had an absolutely outrageous season, their fans must be in dreamland

    Man City currently cruising into their 3rd consecutive FA Cup final.

    Fingers crossed they can salvage something from a terrible season (by their standards) and stop Palace winning it.

    I hate the giant clubs monopolising the FA Cup...

    But not this year now.
