Easiest home draw possible and the other PL sides to play each other.

So what do we make of the draw and how will Villa be drawn out? Well if we have a look at the number balls can maybe work out who going to get from how placed in to bowl from bag.

It tends to go bottom to top and then not much mixing it going on from the sides so certain numbers inevitably get left.

Villa are number 12. Could mean something then as there are 16 balls.
They will initially be in one bag and will be Scott and Walcott drawing them out for home and away .

I already have forecasted Emery will win this FA cup as I convinced winning a trophy this season.
I don’t think people can keep changing their prediction after this round.
If people are waiting to vote because of the draw that’s their prerogative but any who belong to the theory our names on the cup then vote it’s our year!

But forecasting the draw is an interesting one.
And enjoying seeing people predicting though as I said I think have to take into account ball number and how the balls land in the bowl

The idea that we can work out which numbers draw each other from how the balls enter from bag to bowl is preposterous !
The whole thing is pre recorded (probably as we speak) being overseen by a secret group of FA officials and lizard people. Usually needs about 5 or 6 takes before they decide which version to present as live.

But do we need to keep drawing London sides? Think only Fulham and Palace left.

Well in the 4th round draw with 10 teams remaining - 5 ties to be drawn
numbers 1, 4, 5 , 6 Aston Villa and 8 hadn’t been drawn out.

I reckon we'll draw a ball that has a number between 1 and 16. It will be white, with black writing and may even be spherical.

We will be Home, or Away, and the game will be played on or around 1st March.

You heard it here first.
