(24 Jan 2015, 8:50 am)leestransportphotos wrote Today Gateshead travel to North Wales to face fellow conference side Wrexham later today. In their last meeting, The Heed ran out 3-0 winners at the Racecourse with goals from Marcus Maddison, Jon Shaw and Jamie Chandler.

I normally nick Jamie Chandler if I play as a lower league side on Football Manager...Him and Rob Ramshaw are good on the game...

Here is hoping for a good result

So, Manchester United are the only team in the Premier League top four still in with a chance to go into the fifth round of the FA Cup - who saw Bradford beating Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge? Of course, there is still a Chelsea-signed player in the tournament - he's Patrick Bamford, the guy who scored the opener in Middlesbrough's 2-0 victory at the Eithad.

LETS ALL LAUGH AT CHELSEA AND MAN CITY

HAHAHA

Bolton and Liverpools Game ended 0-0 at Anfield so theres always a chance Bolton might knock them out!

Good luck to Bolton...Team I genuinely like and wish the best too, results over the weekend must give Bolton a lot of hope...

The same can be said for Fulham, who came away from The Stadium of Light with a 0-0 draw...

As much as I like Sunderland, I hope Fulham do something, I like to keep an eye on Fulham and there Centre Half Dan Burn, who used to play for Darlo

So far today

Bristol City 0-0 West Ham - 2nd Half just kicked off
Aston Villa 0-0 Bournemouth - 6 minutes in.
Brighton v Arsenal (16:00 GMT)

I do hope Bristol City, Bournemouth and Brighton win!

The Fifth Round Proper draw in full

1 Crystal Palace v Liverpool or Bolton Wanderers
2 Arsenal v Middlesbrough
3 Aston Villa v Leicester City
4 West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United
5 Bradford City v Sunderland or Fulham
6 Blackburn Rovers v Rochdale or Stoke City
7 Derby County v Reading
8 Preston North End or Sheffield United v Cambridge United or Manchester United.

Boro at Arsenal looks a tasty tie and if Sunderland can conquer Fulham, well Bradford away has banana skin written all over it, especially after Saturday at Stamford Bridge...I have a feeling the Bradford may be picked for TV

My predication's for this weekend:

Hull v Newcastle – Hull win
Crystal Palace v Everton – Draw
Liverpool v West Ham – West Ham win
Man Utd v Leicester – Man u Win
Stoke v QPR – Draw
Sunderland v Burnley – Sunderland win
West Brom v Tottenham – Spurs Win
Chelsea v Man City – Man City
Arsenal v Aston Villa – Arsenal win
Southampton v Swansea – Southampton Win

Hull v Newcastle – 1-1
Crystal Palace v Everton – 1-0
Liverpool v West Ham – 2-1
Man Utd v Leicester – 1-0
Stoke v QPR – 2-0
Sunderland v Burnley – 1-1
West Brom v Tottenham – 1-2
Chelsea v Man City – 3-1
Arsenal v Aston Villa – 2-0
Southampton v Swansea – 3-1

Did anyone watch Aresnal v Aston Villa?

I thought Villa were absolutely horrific. The defending was pitiful, and I thought Gil/Sanchez were crap.

Bellerín for Arsenal was outstanding - he's only 19 or something, and he played outstandingly. Man of the Match in my opinion, as that finish was world class, although he didn't really have anything to defend as Aston Villa were shit.

Arsenal have always been quite good at finding good young players...

Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey to name a few

Transfer deadline day...Wonder if Jim White will get the now traditional interview with Harry Redknapp out of his car window

One thing I have learnt down the years...

Never bet on North East Teams, they always let you down, especially the 2 I put in bold

Ceefax

In the days before Internet enabled Mobile Phones, I would use ceefax to keep a check on my coupons, was a pain in the arse each division was over 3 or 4 pages and by the time I got to Scottish results I would have forgotten what was going on in the Premier League...

FA Cup Final Songs, what happened to them, you got to the Final, you release a song, I can remember Man Utd doing it a few times.

The plastic pitches of the day were horrible supposedly, players were getting carpet and friction burns apparantly.

Some of my favourite memories as a kid in the early 90's, parking in the old Toward Road Car Park, walking to Roker Park, getting a programme, a pie that was manky, I am sure them pies were heated at Sellafield Nuclear Plant, you bit into one, burnt your mouth, melted your taste buds, just as you got your sense of taste back, it was matchday again...And getting back home just in time to get the Sports Echo

HAPPY DAYS

Good luck to him.

Apparently he was at Ashington as a youngster, before taking up cricket.

It will be interesting to see how the players take to being told what to do

Didn't see this, would have replied in the same post as Michael.
Aye, apparently he did. Obviously decided to go down a different route and made his name in Marcuses back garden

Hell of a cricketer as well, one of the best Bowlers this country has produced, I still remember him in games like v West Indies and he murdered them taking something mad like 6/46
