I thought I'd get the ball rolling since the fixtures have been released.

This looks like it could be a very interesting season with the likes of Bournemouth and Watford competing in the Premier League.

It speaks volumes that Exeter seems to have more quality.

Speaks volumes of Liverpool's injury crisis. Coutinho, Lovren, Sturridge, Ibe, Ings, Gomez, Skrtel, Toure, Origi, Sakho. Henderson's also just returning from injury so has to be careful playing too many games too quickly. That's almost an entire team.

I'm sure people will see that as making excuses, and maybe it is, but come on, this isn't Exeter beating Liverpool, it's Exeter beating the Liverpool C team.

Definitely a relief, although I think we could do without the extra game. I wouldn't be surprised if he put out a similar team in the replay.

I don't get why so many of the Liverpool fans I know are saying things along the lines of 'utter s***', 'terrible result'. Did they not see the team we put out? You can't just expect to get through because you're Liverpool and they're Exeter. There was every chance of an upset going into the game considering the level of players Liverpool could put out and the youngsters did well to come from behind twice. They showed good character and the experience will do them well.

I thought the commentators on the Manchester United - Sheffield United game tonight were way too harsh on Manchester. They were making out like they were awful. They weren't. They dominated possession and barely ever looked in trouble. They said Sheffield Utd deserved a replay. No they didn't. They were s***.

Of course Manchester's problems in the final third should rightly be criticised. In that respect they were poor. Several players are clearly not being used in their favourable positions. Plus the style of football being played is too safety first. That being said, they were for the most part not terrible in my opinion. I just want to see more guile when attacking.

If they were as bad as the commentary team suggested then they would have lost the game.

FA Cup 4th round has been drawn:

West Bromwich Albion or Bristol City v Peterborough United

Eastleigh or Bolton Wanderers v Leeds United

Arsenal v Burnley

Derby County v Manchester United

Huddersfield Town or Reading v Walsall

Exeter City or Liverpool v West Ham United

Wycombe Wanderers or Aston Villa v Manchester City

Shrewsbury Town v Sheffield Wednesday

Nottingham Forest v Watford

Carlisle United or Yeovil Town v Everton

Crystal Palace v Stoke City

Oxford United v Newport County or Blackburn Rovers

Ipswich Town or Portsmouth v Bournemouth

Colchester United v Tottenham Hotspur or Leicester City

Bury or Bradford City v Hull City

Northampton Town or MK Dons v Chelsea

All the 'big' teams have avoided each other. Liverpool drew probably the worst team possible in West Ham who seem to have our number this year. Maybe having lost to them so recently we'll learn from our mistakes, but I don't hold out much hope. Although we have to get past Exeter first.

All in all a pretty s***ty fourth round.

I fully expect Derby to destroy United based on both team's current forms.

I cannot predict any other results.

Liverpool vs Manchester United today. First half gone, happy with the display, although I'd feel more comfortable if we had a goal to show for it. Also, I'll never understand how Sakho continues to be singled out as a poor player on the ball. The United players are standing off him 90% of the time, giving him time on the ball and hoping for a mistake. He's no Messi on the ball, but he's not bad enough that waiting for him to make a mistake is a viable gameplan (cue Sakho giving away a goal in the 2nd half to make me look stupid).

This is basically our game plan in general tbh, keep the shape and don't over-commit. Then we get the ball and pass it for about around for about ten years and do nothing with it. Rinse and repeat, hope someone produces a moment of magic to get a goal. Either that, or we just ay f*** it and start scoring, which has the side effect of completely forgetting how to defend and conceding just as many.

Our games are either exciting as hell or boring enough to put you to sleep, no in between.

Yeah, probably the best keeper in the world at the moment.

f***ing Liverpool and corners/crosses. It's becoming a joke.

Manchester United should change their nickname to the crabs because they can only go sideways.

He needs to go. A new manager now could start building for next season.

Yeah, when he can't get his ball possession total football to work it's time to call it quits. He must admit it doesn't work anymore.
