The FA Cup fifth round draw is coming up, and it's time for the remaining teams to start dreaming of a trip to Wembley. But let's be real, most of these teams are just happy to have made it this far. The so-called "magic" of the cup is a load of bollocks if you ask me.
Liverpool's dreams shattered by Plymouth
Liverpool's hopes of winning the quadruple were ended by a shock 1-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle. Ryan Hardie scored a penalty to send the Pilgrims through. Liverpool were utter shite on the day, and got exactly what they deserved.
Other notable results
Manchester United scraped past Leicester at Old Trafford. Big whoop. The Red Devils are still a shadow of their former selves. Chelsea and Everton were also sent packing, with Tottenham eliminated by Aston Villa. None of these results are surprising given how inconsistent these teams have been this season.
Fifth round draw details
The draw for the fifth round will take place on Monday, February 10, with the fixtures set to be played around the weekend of March 1/2. The ball picking will start at around 7:10pm. Who gives a toss though, it's all just a load of hype for nothing.
Ball numbers
The ball numbers for the fifth round have been confirmed. Who cares? It's all just a load of numbers on a ball. The real excitement comes from the actual matches, not this pointless draw.
Fourth round results and fixtures
Here's a rundown of the fourth round results and the remaining fixtures. Some notable matches include Brighton's victory over Chelsea, and Plymouth's shock win over Liverpool. But let's be honest, most of these matches were dull as dishwater.
The FA Cup is supposed to be the pinnacle of English football, but these days it's just a load of overhyped nonsense. The magic has well and truly gone. Until the semi-finals and final at Wembley, it's just a distraction from the league. And even then, it's only exciting if the big teams make it through.
