Isn't it just wonderful. The magic of the FA Cup is still alive and well. Rumours of the FA Cup's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Sure, isn't the FA Cup just mad sometimes. (Feel free to throw your own cliché in whenever you feel like it.)
But in all seriousness, sometimes clichés don't do it justice. We'll start with Chelsea vs Bradford. This was after 38 minutes.
GOAL! Chelsea 2 Bradford 0. Ramires!! #CFCLive

Bradford were quite happy.

They were calling Mourinho classy, it was all going to their head. (In all seriousness that does seem like a nice touch from Mourinho)
Jose Mourinho has just been in an ecstatic away dressing room to congratulate every City player and staff member. A real touch of class.

Over at Southampton, Crystal Palace defeated the Saints 3-2 thanks to two of Arsenal fans' favourite strikers.

City didn't do too well either. Fernando in particular not covering himself in glory. Patrick Bamford, former Irish under-age international and perpetual Chelsea loanee, grabbing the first of a 2-0 win for Middlesbrough.

Spurs looked to be the only top 6 side certain of there place in the next round, until Leicester decided to go along with the script of the day and grab two late goals.
Leicester wanted to win that's the big difference with them and Spurs. No ambition shown by players — Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) January 24, 2015
By the way, this is what Dennis Wise looks like now.
But forget Chelsea, City or Spurs - the biggest shock of the day is Dennis Wise's hair on @setantasports pic.twitter.com/8VA1LKbf2m — Ciarán Ó Raghallaigh (@Ciaran_O) January 24, 2015
And can we please leave the final word for Watford vs Blackpool. It wasn't FA Cup but yes, that's seven second half goals for Watford.
It seems Jose Mourinho's in shock after Bradford's win! https://t.co/jzoDcAaKYw — Betfred (@Betfred) January 24, 2015
Long live the magic of the Cup.
