Coventry V Millwall. My prediction: Coventry to win. Final score: Coventry 2 Millwall 1. No real surprise here but I’ll take it. 2-1 to me.
Derby V Preston. My prediction: Derby to win. Final score: Derby 1 Preston 4. Oops, got this one very wrong. 2-2.
Hereford V Cardiff. My prediction: Cardiff to win. Final score: Hereford 1 Cardiff 2. 3-2 to me.
Liverpool V Havant & Waterlooville. My prediction: Liverpool to win. Final score: Liverpool 5 Havant & Waterlooville 2. Well I won’t exactly get many brownie points for getting this one right, but what a game. This is what I mean when I say I love the cup. 4-2 to me.
Man Utd V Tottenham. My prediction: Man Utd to win. Final score: Man Utd 3 Spurs 1. 5-2 to me.

Peterborough V West Brom. My prediction: West Brom to win. Final score: Posh 0 WBA 3. 7-3 to me.
Portsmouth V Plymouth. My prediction: Pompey to win. Final score: Portsmouth 2 Plymouth 1. Probably never in doubt. 8-3.
Southampton V Bury. My prediction: Soton to win. Final score: Soton 2 Bury 0. 9-3 to me. This is becoming a walk-over.

Wigan V Chelsea. My prediction: Chelsea to win. Final score: Wigan 1 Chelsea 2. Another one to me. 10-4.
So overall I win 10-4. I’ll take that thank you very much. Not a single draw – I wonder when the last time that happened was? If anyone has the answer please let me know…
Every Huddersfield Town fan should travel to London to see them take on Chelsea again – Chelsea nicked it 2-1 in January 2008 but this time the Terriers can do it.
