FA Cup draw:

Cardiff vs Leeds

Not very enthralling, but a couple of interesting stats. This is the 10th consecutive away tie for Leeds in the FA Cup. This has only happened once before with Stockport holding the record at 11 away ties in a row.

In fact we have now been drawn away on 30 occasions in our last 36 ties. Not sure what the odds are on that but I probably have a better chance of winning the Euromillions.

Concentrate on the league, I think.

What a horrible question from an Iranian journalist but an incredibly mature answer from the USA captain, Tyler Adams, who is just 23 years old.

We are lucky to have him at Leeds.

Very sad news, but I think we have been expecting it.

The true legend that was Pele has left us today.

The whole of Brazil and the footballing world will be in mourning - and rightly so. He was as much as an inspiration off the pitch as he was on it.

Rest in Peace.

So sad to hear about the passing of Gianluca Vialli today, at just 58 years old. As well as being a very talented footballer, he just came across as a really genuine guy.

So we didnt win away against Liverpool in the cup because this was given offside. Anyone??????? The lino just randomly put his flag up after the goal went in for reasons we are not sure and VAR couldnt overturn it because apparently they didnt have a camera for this one.

Been watching Brighton for 50 years and that was the best I have ever seen us play. Perfection.

They were but probably because we made them look terrible.

Great to see us Brentford Fulham all doing so well. And Chelsea being awful obviously!

No mention of Man U's controversial goal which changed the match....
Should never have been given, clear interference.

Ah, having just seen it, I came on to say much the same. 

Absolute farce that it was allowed and that the referees' association issued a statement trying to justify an embarrassing decision.

Ludicrous decision to give that goal.

The world of football reporting has sadly lost two greats in the last couple of days.

Dickie Davis passed away earlier this week and this morning sources have confirmed the passing of John Motson. Was there ever a better commentator ?

Free bet to win £250 ( in bets ) if I could get the right score in 4 of rhe FA Cup ties.

Fulham 2 Leeds 0 - tick
Bristol City 0.Manchester City 3 - tick
Manchester United 3 West Ham 1 - tick

... and Sheffield United 1 Spurs 2

Ah, so instead £10 in bets for a very respectable 3/4. It would have been rather more annoying when Kane missed right at the end, after the other 3 had come in, if it had been 1-1 at the time.

Elsewhere, seagull will no doubt be a happy chappee, Brighton home to Grimsby in the QF.

Yes could not ask for a better draw than that. I'm old enough to have gone to the 1983 cup final (and Smith must score and all that)...
