Obviously everyone expected them to beat Birmingham and they still have to come here to Bolton and they've got to go to Blackburn. It could be difficult for them.

It's a great tie for everyone. It's a hard draw, but the FA Cup is all about difficult ties and dramatic games. And you can only really appreciate what winning is all about in the cup competitions by getting through the tougher matches.

That is why I have said all along we want to be closest to Chelsea if they do collapse. I still maintain that stance.

We need a miracle now of course and it has given a great boost to Chelsea. But we can't give up because we have come too far to give up. We're still a very good team.

Chelsea know we are there. There is no disputing that fact.

I don't know how many times I've got to make the point but they (Chelsea) have been fantastically consistent.
