The FA Cup quarter-final draw, live from the Wood
Welcome to leafy Walsall Wood for the live draw of the FA Cup quarter finals.
And what a weekend it was.
Anyway, we don't do pomp and ceremony - or, for that matter, patronising comments, or pointless interviews with random guests - over here in the West Midlands.
My balls are ready and waiting.
The home teams will be drawn by the wife. And the away teams will be drawn by...well, also by the wife (who's somewhat bemused and possibly irritated by all of this, I must add).
No messing around here. Using the FA's official ball numbers (WBA are no7) this is what happened in our draw (and not a frozen/microwaved ball in sight).
Portsmouth v Cardiff City
Manchester United v Barnsley
Bristol Rovers v Sheffield United/Middlesbrough
Chelsea v ALBION
You have been warned.

Mail man Chris Lepkowski’s view of what’s going on at West Bromwich Albion FC.
itlk be Cardiff away
We're going to Bristol Rovers...It'll be...
Bristol Rovers Vs Albion
Barnsley Vs Man Utd
Chelsea Vs Middlesbrough/Sheff Utd
Portsmouth Vs Cardiff
Wait and see :)
I thought the last drop of dignity drained from the FA Cup draw that time Kevin Keegan did it and pulled out a ball and trumpeted "Legs Eleven". Bring back the old buffers and the velvet bag!
Albion get Portsmouth at home, by the way.
Agree it'll be Chelsea - but at home.
Portsmouth away is my prediction
You wife should leave your balls alone. That's how babies start. Stoke for the Championship championship
1 out of 4 wasn't bad ;)
Bristol Rovers away my prediction.
Albion can now educate those strange half-Welsh how to play pretty triangles.
I reckon Wembley beckons for the Baggies in the semis..... as a warm up for losing the play-off final there again
One Tony Pulis, there's only one Tony Pulis
