League One Oldham stunned Premier League high-fliers Everton with a deserved FA Cup third-round win.

Watched the Man Utd game, luckily only caught the last 15 minutes where both goals were scored. Man Utd dominated those 15 minutes. Leicester's (my team's) loss was unfortunate but expected.

Thats very noble of an Everton fan. Have you seen what there saying about us on YouTube!? John Sheridan believes if you try, anything is possible. Last time in 2005 we beat Man City 1-0 and we got to the Playoffs last season! Come on you blues!

FA Cup 4th Round Must Watch Matches
Full match previews
D - Derby match
PD - Possible Derby match

Arsenal v Stoke City/Newcastle United
Arsenal will take on either Stoke or Newcastle. Newcastle are having a bad run at the moment with the sacking off boss Sam Alladyce not helping, the Gunners have full cofidence to go ahead and win. Though Stoke on the other hand aren't doing to bad as they're placed 4th in the Championship, could they pull of a win?

D - Oldham Athletic v Huddersfield Town
'Giantkillers' Latics will take on the 'Giantkiller' Terriers in the Battle of the Roses. Yorkshire rivals spoiled Lancashires fun by putting a late goal in against Oldham making the match a 1-1 draw. Manager John Sheridan (Oldham) will also be up against old buddy Andy Ritchie who led Oldham to promotion in 1992 taking them into the Premiership. Can Lancashire pull off a win or will the Yorkies be out to spoil there fun?

PD - Coventry v Millwall/Walsall
Coventry maybe set to take on local rivals Walsall. Coventry are currently 17th in the Championship while in League 1 Walsall are 5th and Millwall are fighting a relagation battle in 20th. Both teams will be looking to cause an upset as Millwall will be hoping to take Coventry back to the 'Lions den' or a win. Ian Dowie (ex-Oldham manager ) is positive that they can win as the easily beat Blackburn Rovers by 4 goals to 1. This is a must watch match!

PD -Sheffield United v West Ham/Manchester City
Sheffield will be faced against either West Ham or Manchester City. The Hammers and City drew 0-0 but both sides will be looking to take the win. Sheffield United could be also facing the county rivals. Once again Utd v City/ Lancs v Yorkies would mean a second battle of the roses with both sides hoping to take victory.

More to be posted.

[Paggers]

Sheffield Utd against West Ham would be tasty. Unfinished business from last season et al.

We were knocked out by our closest rivals. It's a sad day in Oldham, I hope the Terries get a good thrashing in the next round and as for Luke Beckett! Sheridan promised us for 2 strickers last week yet nobody has come ...

The Mansfield game was brilliant. Did anyone see the 41st minute? They were kicking balls onto the pitch! Brilliant game.

[So Much Fire]

Wigan was robbed.... Chelsea's second goal was very iffy, it's impossible to say if they would have scored had the defender not been taken out, but good win for Arsenal

[jankren]

Newcastle got ******slapped again ...

Go GUNNERS!

[Noble Savage]

Did anyone see that Huth tackle , brutal! Wonder what would of happened if that was a Mansfield player :hmmm:
