FA Cup 3rd Round Results

Interesting day in the FA Cup with Havant and Waterlooville earning a replay at Swansea, Everton losing at home to Oldham, Blackburn getting hammered at home by Coventry, Bolton losing at home to Sheffield Utd and Birmingham losing at Huddersfield.
Chelsea scrape through against QPR with an own goal, Portsmouth go through with a win at Ipswich thanks to a dubious sending off in the first half for the home team.
Good wins for Wigan at Sunderland and an upset avoided by Middlesbrough at Bristol City, Reading's reserves perform better at Tottenham than their first team did in getting a replay and West Ham and Man City share a goaless draw and will have to do it again.
Cambridge came within 2 minutes of a draw at Wolves after leading early on, Second division Peterborough had an excellent 3-1 win away at Championship Colchester and Southend come back from being 2-1 down to hammer Dagenham 5-2.
Finally an honourable mention for cash strapped Mansfield who won at Brighton.

So far 6 premier teams are out, and 2 more will definitely go out due to all premier ties.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Derby and Fulham all face tricky lower division opposition so it could be an interesting Sunday.
Only 7 premier league teams are guaranteed places in the 4th round.
