The draw for the Fifth Round of the FA Cup was made and it looks to be rather interesting. Alan Pardew's return to the Palace also reunites him with an FA Cup draw vs Liverpool . Will Palace upset Liverpool again in the Cup as they did in the Prem earlier this season? The Gooner should be pleased with a home draw vs Middlesbrough, but shouldn't take anything for granted as the Teesiders won at the Etihad on Saturday. Johnno may not be pleased as the Hammers have a tricky tie at the Hawthorns against the improved Baggies. It's a return to Ewood Park for Mark Hughes. If United win their replay at OT then they have a trip to a League One side challenging for promotion. Bob will definitely support mine and UWS's United if the match is at Bramall Lane. Finally, Bob will be thinking about what might have been as Leeds could have had a West Yorkshire Derby on consecutive weekends. Gary Lineker must have ESP as Fred had been going after my chicken and now his Black Cats will have a trip to the Bantams if they win a tricky replay at the Cottage. Those are the highlights of the Fifth Round which starts a few days before the CL and EL resume. Will that affect anything?
