The FA Cup quarter finals look great on paper. Hopefully every team will be going for it since there is no clear and obvious favourite. 3 very well matched ties, and at least Preston are at home - they also got a big win just before the intl break so shouldn't really have much relegation worries. 

 

Any preference who goes through from an NUFC perspective, like if we were to play a Villa, Brighton, Palace a few days before, or after, a potential semi final, or offering more of a distraction to a particular team.

 

I guess if Forest or Man City won the cup then more chance a league spot opens for the Europa, should we finish 7th, than say if Fulham, Palace (or Preston) won it.

Had we not ended our trophy drought I'd probably settle for Man City winning the FA cup. Based on I would have hated to see some 'ordinary' club winning something while it eluded us. It's like Leicester when they won the league. Great story, but they're Leicester FFS. I was starting to think of that  mackem wife on STID, the "why's it never us celebrating" one. Now I'm happy for some underdog to win it. Having said that I don't like Villa, Forest and to a lesser extent Brighton, so I suppose that doesn't leave many.

Very fair view but I think I’d prefer us to the only big story this season.
