By Phil Harlow

1805: Thanks very much for your company everyone, we're going to call it a day. A great day of FA Cup action, made all the better for your banter.

See you in the fifth round.

1801: PLAYER RATER
Sheffield United striker Jonathan Stead leads the way in the player rater ratings with 8.07 - but you can still have your say.

1759: "Well done Sheff Utd and Bryan Robson.

"They attacked for most of the second half. I suppose it could have all backfired; nevertheless, it's refreshing to see a team go for it rather than try to sit on a lead and as is so often the case."

1755: FULL-TIME Sheffield United 2-1 Man City
That is that. Man City are out as they become the 14th Premier League team to fail to make it to the last 16. Chants of "Who are ya?" from the Blades fans bring the calamity of the situation home to the City players.

Also, this is the first fourth round since 1957 that has come and gone without a single draw. Amazing.

1754: In the dying seconds Geovanni gets the ball in space inside the box, but he picks out the wrong pass and the chance is gone. That should be that.

1752: Michael Tonge wins the ball in midfield and releases Billy Sharp through the middle, but the striker's shot is well wide.

1751: The game is getting very stretched as tired legs start to toil. There are four minutes of added time to play.

1748: Man City are dawdling on the ball at the back as the clock ticks down. Surely they have to launch it? Get it in the mixer...

1745: City substitute Geovanni attempts an optimistic strike from distance which is miles off target. City are getting desperate.

1742: Wasteful delivery from Sheffield United's Keith Gillespie as his cross from the right sails out on the full. Can the Blades hold on with five minutes to go?

1738: Martin Petrov sends in a teasing corner but with Paddy Kenny struggling to get to the ball, Nedum Onuoha doesn't get off the ground and his weak header goes wide.

1736: Joe Hart plays a woeful pass to Richard Dunne, who only has one boot on anyway after losing half his footwear in a tackle. The ball goes straight out and Dunne is not impressed with his keeper.

1734: Richard Dunne gets to Martin Petrov's free-kick ahead of his marker Chris Morgan, but the header is misdirected and ends up well wide of the goal.

1733: "I can't help but be impressed by Sheff Utd's Luton Shelton. He's got a great work ethic, good touch, good pace and he's causing the City defence a few problems."
Red_devil789 on 606

1731: Still end-to-end stuff at Bramall Lane. Darius Vassell goes close for Man City and then moments later Luton Shelton bursts through into danger territory before seeing his shot blocked.

1729: Daniel Sturridge really does look something rather special. He lets the ball run across him and draws a foul as Chris Morgan cynically takes him out on the touchline.

1727: Man City get the chance to counter attack but Stephen Ireland overhits a ball into the front men and the chance is wasted.

1724: A good cross from Derek Geary finds an unmarked Stephen Quinn in the box, but the header is all wrong.

1723: Great pressing from Sheffield United's forwards as they force Man City all the way back to keeper Joe Hart, and he can only slice it out for a Blade throw-in deep in City territory.

1720: "I can see City getting back into this. Sheffield United are throwing so many players forward gung-ho they are vulnerable to a breakaway. Strange when they are leading 2-1..."
Hawick on 606

1717: Lee Martin, on loan from Manchester United, goes on a powerful run and is hauled down on the edge of the box. A training ground free-kick routine sees the ball squared to Keith Gillespie but his outside of the boot effort curls wide.

1714: This is shaping up into a brilliant Cup match. Absolutely end-to-end, and difficult to keep up. Gary Speed's free-kick is deflected away and City break away with a lovely flowing move that just runs out of steam in the box.

1711: Daniel Sturridge played for 16 minutes as a sub against Reading in 2007, four more minutes as a sub against Wigan. And he'd played one minute 56 seconds against Sheffield United before netting. Not a bad ratio, if he can keep it up.

His freestyle expressive dance routine celebration was also a sight for sore eyes.

1708: GOAL Sheffield Utd 2-1 Man City
What a substitution! And what a goal! Daniel Sturridge makes an instant impact as he scores an absolute cracker.

Martin Petrov's corner comes out to Sturridge off Richard Dunne's head. The youngster controls it on his right thigh, adjusts his body and fires in an unstoppable left-foot volley off the underside of the crossbar. An outstanding piece of skill.

1707: Almost immediately the Blades go close to making it 3-0. Derek Geary races up the right flank and curls in a quality cross which narrowly eludes the unmarked Luton Sheldon in the box.

1705: Sven-Goran Eriksson has made a change with 18-year-old Daniel Sturridge, the nephew of the legendary Dean, coming on for Elano. We're back under way at Bramall Lane.

1703:PLAYER RATER
Sheff Utd's first goalscorer Luton Shelton leads the way with 7.78. Unfortunately, our player rater application does not allow you to rate the Man City fans' balloons - which had a big hand in the Blades' opener - but there are still 22 players out there, hungrily awaiting your verdicts.

1700: "It's the second time in a month I've seen the City box filled with balloons, how utterly stupid...

"Sheffield United are playing the flair football I associated City with. City are rubbish so far. I'm not happy at all."
sweetSubsea on 606

1654: So far, we've had 15 games of the round and 15 definite results - not a single draw so far.

If this game sees a win for either side, it will be the first time since 1957 that the fourth round has come and gone without a replay being necessary. How about that, stats fans.

1651: "I lost �10 on both of the games so far, but I'm on course to be up by �20 by the end of the night if Sheffield keep it together. If Sheffield win by more than five, which was a secondary bet I had at �2, I'll buy you a drink, Phil."
emerald_hammer on 606

Very generous of you, emerald_hammer. Unfortunately I've given up alcohol for the duration of January. Five days to go - can I take that drink off you on Friday? Assuming the Blades can win by five or more goals, of course...

1649: The half-time whistle sounds at Bramall Lane. A great half of good old-fashioned FA Cup football.

1647: Sheffield United's Lee Martin gets a little bit of space outside the box and lets fly with a decent strike, but Joe Hart is well placed to deal with it.

1644: It's all getting a bit heated out there, with Elano getting very agitated and throwing himself into some questionable challenges.

The 606 thread appears to have died a painful death, so we've set up a new one that you are more than welcome to get involved in.

1642: Didi Hamann tries his luck from distance, but Chris Morgan deflects it out for a corner.

From the set piece, the ball travels all the way across the goal with nobody getting a touch. If Darius Vassell could have got any kind of contact it would have been a certain goal.

1637: There's a bit of an exchange of words between Gary Speed and Elano after they clatter into each other in the middle of the pitch.

By the way, apologies to people trying to use the 606 page that we're linking to from here. There's a bit of a technical problem, but we're working on it.

1634: A great driving run out of defence by Man City's Vedran Corluka puts his side in a promising position, but Darius Vassell's effort is charged down.

1630: A fantastic sliding tackle from Sheffield United's Lee Bromby denies Martin Petrov as he bursts into the box.

1626: GOAL Sheffield United 2-0 Man City
Blimey, we've got a Cupset on our hands here. Jonathan Stead sidefoots the ball into the net after confusion in the Man City box.

Derek Geary plays a ball into the box from the byeline, and after Luton Sheldon collides with Richard Dunne, the ball breaks perfectly into Stead's path. No balloons were involved in the making of that goal.

1623: Elano goes desperately close again from a free-kick, but he is denied by a top-draw save from Paddy Kenny. Elano curls the ball around the wall and it bounces just in front of a full-stretch Kenny, but the keeper just gets his hand to it and tips it away.

1621: More reaction to Man Utd's 3-1 win over Spurs for you. This time it's Spurs assistant boss Gus Poyet:

"I think until they scored the third goal the game was always open for us to come back. We had enough chances to get a better score but today was about taking chances. Even when we were down to 10 men we hit the post.

"It was a great game of football - two teams going forward on a heavy pitch trying to score goals."

"We had our chances and if we had taken them it would have changed the game completely but Man Utd have great players. Second half, the game was too open for our liking but we had chances against one of the best teams in the country."

1619: "That Sheffield United goal was the funniest thing I have seen for ages. Do these people really get paid thousands a week?"
Stuart in Liverpool via text

1618: Man City go very close through Elano, but the Brazilian's effort from outside the box smacks the bottom of the post and bounces away.

1616: Funnily enough, all the balloons in the Man City area have been burst or removed.

1614: GOAL Sheffield United 1-0 Man City
In all my days, never have I have been proven so right about balloons.

Lee Martin escapes down the left and crosses into the box where Man City defender Michael Ball gets all mixed up with the white and blue balloons on the pitch and steps over the ball to allow Luton Shelton to tap in at the far post.

Ball really was "one step out of time" there. That's a Eurovision gag.

1613: PLAYER RATER
Carlos Tevez was the main man at Old Trafford according to you lot using our Player Rater. The Argentine clocks 7.64 - which just puts him a shade ahead of Spurs' Robbie Keane on 7.60. Anyone disagree?

1610: Good save from Joe Hart after John Stead gets a free header inside the six-yard box. Hart gets down low to his left to keep it out, but Stead should really have nailed it with the whole goal to aim at.

In my opinion, there are too many balloons on the pitch.

1608: "Your colleague is right about the 15 games without a draw (see 1600 entry) - very interesting. Cup football is about knock-out, and it is good to see all sides going for it.

"Now probably this last game (the only one I'll see this weekend in full) will be a dull 0-0!"
Hawick on 606

1606: A quick burst of post-match reaction from Old Trafford and two-goal hero Cristiano Ronaldo:

""It was very important to win here at home go through for the next round. We were at home and I think in the second half we played well and at the end of the day deserved to win.

"Spurs have a good team good collective spirit but we played fantastically and deserved to win."

1604: Man City have made a promising start with some nice touches in the Blades' half, but there has been no end product as yet.

1602: The match is under way at Bramall Lane.

1600: My colleague sitting next to me thinks it's highly interesting that there have been no draws so far in this fourth round. I disagree - who's right?

1555: "Man Utd have got this wonderful ability when they're not fully firing to come out and win the match because they've got so many great attacking players."
BBC Sport pundit Alan Hansen

1553: FULL-TIME Man Utd 3-1 Tottenham
It's all over at Old Trafford and Man Utd are into the last 16. That is Spurs boss Juande Ramos's first defeat in a Cup game in more than two years, by the way.

1551: Jermaine Defoe has the chance to cut the gap with some nifty footwork opening up an opportunity, but a sharp tackle from Wes Brown robs him of the ball as he tries to pull the trigger.

1550: "Bring back Robinson"
Kearno1983 on 606

1547: GOAL Man Utd 3-1 Tottenham
Oh dear. Not good from Spurs keeper Radek Cerny as he allows Cristiano Ronaldo's shot to squirm under his body and into the net. That's game over.

Stat fans - this is the 14th time that Ronaldo has scored a brace of goals for Man Utd.

1544: Spurs hit the post through Man Utd defender Wes Brown. Steed Malbranque plays a clever ball into the box, and Dimitar Berbatov comes through on the blindside of the defender.

Brown slices the ball off his boot and is lucky to see it bounce back off the post.

1542: TEAM NEWS
Micah Richards is out for Man City with a slight knee injury so Nedum Onuoha steps in, striker Emile Mpenza returns after a five-week lay-off while Gelson Fernandes replaces Stephen Ireland.

There are six changes in the Sheffield United side with Gary Naysmith, Chris Morgan, Keith Gillespie, Jonathan Stead, Stephen Quinn and Luton Shelton coming in.

Full line-ups:

Sheff Utd: Kenny, Geary, Bromby, Morgan, Naysmith, Gillespie, Speed, Martin, Quinn, Shelton, Stead.
Subs: Hendrie, Kilgallon, Tonge, Armstrong, Sharp.

Man City: Hart, Corluka, Onuoha, Dunne, Ball, Elano, Hamann, Gelson, Petrov, Mpenza, Vassell.
Subs: Schmeichel, Ireland, Geovanni, Jihai, Sturridge.

Referee: Alan Wiley (Staffordshire)

1540: Anderson comes on for the excellent Carlos Tevez, while Jermain Defoe makes his entrance for Spurs in place of Teemu Tanio.

1538: Jamie O'Hara tries his luck with a free-kick from a long way out, but it would have to be a Paul Gascoigne 1991 FA Cup semi-final effort to beat Edwin van der Sar from there. It is not.

1536: "Kevin Prince-Boateng is an exceptional player; he sees the pass and then delivers it accurately. The only thing I don't like about him is his new haircut..."
jpalongo on 606

1534: Spurs look for an equaliser with substitute Kevin-Prince Boateng coming through onto Steed Malbranque's pass, but the wild shot is nowhere near the target.

1532: "It was a penalty but to send him off is a bit harsh and you can't see Spurs coming back now..."
chrisp2412 on 606

1528: GOAL Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham
Cristiano Ronaldo scores from the penalty spot after Michael Dawson concedes a penalty and is sent off for an alleged deliberate handball in the box.

A long ball into the box sees Wayne Rooney tussling with Dawson for possession and as the Spurs defender goes over, he pushes the ball away with his arm.

Referee Peter Walton has no hesitation in pointing to the spot and shows a red card to Dawson. It goes without saying that it's a major turning point and a massive uphill battle for Spurs from here on in.

1527: Penalty to Man Utd, Michael Dawson sent off Spurs.

1524: Manchester United's Paul Scholes comes on from the bench in place of Michael Carrick for his first appearance in three months. His first touch is a beautiful pass out to Cristiano Ronaldo on the right wing.

1522: An even worse effort from Cristiano Ronaldo as he shanks his shot well wide and about 25 feet over the target.

1520: Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't want Jermaine Jenas to feel too bad about that miss. Ever so gallantly, Ronaldo also chooses to miss the target from close range and we can all forget about it.

What a pass from Carlos Tevez in the build-up though. Absolutely inch-perfect diagonal ball that deserved better.

1519: "Man Utd are totally in the ascendancy now, but Spurs are looking so dangerous on the break."
Coventry boss and BBC Sport summariser Iain Dowie

1515: Spurs ought to be 2-1 up now. Robbie Keane's flick finds Jermaine Jenas bursting through, with his marker Owen Hargreaves nowhere to be seen. But with acres of space and just the keeper to beat, Jenas gets his shot horribly wrong and sees it trickle 10 yards wide.

It's fair to say that Rio Ferdinand is not too impressed with Hargreaves's failure to track back.

1512: Robbie Keane wins a free-kick for Spurs about 30 yards out after Wes Brown tackles from behind. Jamie O'Hara steps up to take it and curls a very decent effort narrowly wide of the post.

1509: "We can see Wesley scoring a 30-yard screamer late in the second half to seal the win for Man Utd!"
JC & The Boys via text

You're not related to KC & The Sunshine Band by any chance are you?

1507: A promising start for Spurs as Aaron Lennon leaves Patrice Evra on his backside and races towards goal. He chips the ball but there is some debate as to whether it was a shot on goal or a cross for Robbie Keane.

Either way, he gets slightly too much on it and the ball lands on the roof of the net.

1504: The second half is under way at Old Trafford.

1501: "I think Spurs' chances disappeared the moment the half-time whistle went without a second goal for them."
Swampy, Peterborough via text

1459: Havant & Waterlooville captain Jamie Collins turns up on the Match of the Day screens for the second time in two days, with him and his team-mates the guests of Man Utd for this match.

"We've had a great weekend," he told BBC Sport.

"We trained at Carrington on Friday, played at Anfield on Saturday and now we're here to see Manchester United v Spurs - it doesn't get much better than that."

The only fly in the ointment is that he missed Carlos Tevez's goal as he walked down to meet the BBC cameras. That's the downside of stardom for you.

1455: PLAYER RATER
While we're on the subject of player rater, the Man Utd-Spurs match has the two goalscorers - Carlos Tevez and Robbie Keane - as the best on show. Do you agree?

1453:PLAYER RATER
Kevin McNaughton's first-half screamer for the Bluebirds has won the hearts of player rater fans everywhere and he leads the Hereford-Cardiff rankings with 8.21. Trevor Benjamin is top of the pile for Hereford with 6.42.

1451: "Jamie O'Hara is playing Cristiano Ronaldo really well at the back for Spurs. Great credit to him for keeping Ronaldo quiet."
BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer

1450: "Spurs need to grab the game by the horns....especially Berbatov, Keane and Lennon."
Rolly22 on 606

1448: The half-time whistle goes with Cristiano Ronaldo complaining about a Robbie Keane challenge. Finely balanced at Old Trafford, but Man Utd have enjoyed the better of the possession so far.

1446: Out of nothing, Spurs create a great chance for Jermaine Jenas. He is played in by Steed Malbranque's clever pass through the middle, but Edwin van der Sar - at full stretch - diverts it wide of the post.

1443: Spurs' defending isn't inspiring confidence at the moment. A weak clearance from Radek Cerny puts his team under pressure, but they escape.

"It really is a case of all hands to the pump for Spurs at the minute."
Coventry boss and BBC Sport summariser Iain Dowie

1439: GOAL Man Utd 1-1 Tottenham
Carlos Tevez latches on to a clever lay-off from Ryan Giggs in the box, after a long ball is not dealt with properly by the Spurs defence, and fires a low shot past Radek Cerny.

To be fair, it's been coming with the Reds creating several chances ever since Spurs took the lead.

1437: Nice touch from Man Utd, with the Havant & Waterlooville players, who performed so brilliantly against Liverpool on Saturday, enjoying today's match from the comfort of the stands at Old Trafford.

1433: Spurs break from their own half with Dimitar Berbatov releasing Aaron Lennon one-on-one with Wes Brown. The speed merchant tries to run Brown but decides on a shot from distance which lacks any power.

Man Utd go straight back up the other end with an instinctive Wayne Rooney pass putting Cristiano Ronaldo in space, but a good challenge from Jamie O'Hara puts it out for a corner.

1431: Man Utd have been stung into a response at Old Trafford, but Spurs keeper Radek Cerny has made an assured start with some confident takes in the air as the crosses rain in.

1427: FULL-TIME Hereford 1-2 Cardiff
The full-time whistle goes at Edgar Street, and Hereford's battling second-half display comes up short as Cardiff make it through to the fifth round for the first time in 14 years.

1424: GOAL Man Utd 0-1 Tottenham
Great goal from Spurs as Robbie Keane taps in Aaron Lennon's ball across the face of goal from point-blank range. The move is created by a glorious ball out of defence from Michael Dawson, allowing Lennon to control and beat Patrice Evra before swinging in the low cross.

1422: Man Utd striker Carlos Tevez is looking lively early on as he beats Jermaine Jenas and fires in a shot that Lee Young-Pyo does well to block.

1417: So close to being game over at Edgar Street. Cardiff's Joe Ledley finds space on the left and sends over a cross which rebounds off the bar and out to safety. He'll probably claim it was a shot, mind.

1416: Dimitar Berbatov gets a free header in the box from Aaron Lennon's corner, and the ball is destined for the back of the net before Wayne Rooney gets his head to the ball to knock it off the goal-line.

1415: Ronaldo has a go from 20 yards out and has Spurs keeper Radek Cerny beaten, but the ball bounces wide of the post.

1413: Cristiano Ronaldo goes down on the edge of the box after a promising run, but the referee is not at all interested in his appeal for a free-kick. Ronaldo looks like he has been told to go to bed early. Without any supper.

1411: "Come on, Hereford... I had a tenner on them winning. Any chance of that at all now, Phil?"
emerald_hammer on 606

They are certainly pushing for an equaliser. I fancy Cardiff to hold on though.

1407: Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov has his first effort at goal, but it is a low skidding effort which he drags wide. Cue hands in the air and ironic cheers from the Old Trafford faithful.

1406: GOAL Hereford 1-2 Cardiff
A lifeline for Hereford. The Cardiff defence is napping and Theo Robinson latches on to Ben Smith's pass and hammers it home from the edge of the box and suddenly the crowd wakes up and it is very much game on.

1404: End-to-end stuff already at Old Trafford. A ball into the box from Ryan Giggs finds Wayne Rooney who shoots first time under pressure from Michael Dawson, but his strike is just the wrong side of the post.

1402: Referee Peter Walton counts up the number of players on each side and confirms there are just the 11 on each. With that done, he feels safe to get the game under way. Could well be a cracker.

1401: Cancel that, I clearly know nothing. Jamie O'Hara is lining up at left-back for Spurs with Lee at right-back. Even so, I still don't like the look of it.

1358: The players march out at Old Trafford. I must say, I'm not too convinced by that Spurs back four of Lee, Dawson, Huddlestone and Tanio. We'll see.

1356: GOAL Hereford 0-2 Cardiff
Steven Thompson nets from the spot with some ease. The home side can have few complaints about the decision, which came after Paul Parry was unceremoniously shoved over by Clint Easton.

1355: Penalty to Cardiff.

1353: The confirmed teams from Old Trafford are as follows:

Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Brown, Evra, Ronaldo, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez.
Subs: Kuszczak, Anderson, Nani, Scholes, Simpson.

Tottenham: Cerny, Tainio, Dawson, Huddlestone, Lee, Lennon, O'Hara, Jenas, Malbranque, Keane, Berbatov.
Subs: Robinson, Kaboul, Boateng, Defoe, Gunter.

Referee: Peter Walton (Northamptonshire)

1350: Hereford are knocking it around with a bit more composure so far this half, but their composure in the final third is letting them down as Simon Johnson's tame effort fails to trouble Michael Oakes.

1347: An effort from Steven Thompson draws a decent save from Wayne Brown, but the Cardiff striker did not really get enough power behind his low effort from the edge of the box.

1341: Cardiff's Joe Ledley goes very close for his side as his deflected strike clips the outside of the post.

1340: Hereford's Lee Collins produces a glancing header from Kris Taylor's free-kick and Michael Oakes has to be alert to keep the ball out.

TEAM NEWS
Man Utd make two changes with Ryan Giggs returning at the expense of Ji-Sung Park, while John O'Shea replaces Nemanja Vidic - who has been hit by a virus. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson names Paul Scholes on the bench, Scholes having not featured for three months following a knee operation.

Tottenham make two changes to the team that dismantled Arsenal in the Carling Cup with Tom Huddlestone and Jamie O'Hara replacing Pascal Chimbonda and Ledley King.

1337: And the second half begins at Hereford.

1335: Applause around Edgar Street as the players emerge for the second half.

1330: "I know of a guy called Stan Fordbridge"
Chelski - The New Roman Empire on 606

I'm starting to wonder if some people are telling porkies just to get involved with the "people who are named after football stadia, or who have names which sound very similar to football stadia" debate. Although it is the debate that has them all talking.

1328: "Great half Cardiff! Fifth Round here we come!"
Rolly22 on 606

A little premature that, Rolly, Hereford are not out of this one yet. Mind you, we've not had a single draw - yet - in the fourth round. Any chance of the Bulls coming back to earn a replay?

PLAYER RATER
Kevin McNaughton's piledriver was a goal somewhat out of keeping with a slightly scrappy half, but it has not particularly impressed users of our player rater service. Kev has a creditable 7.60, but there are plenty of players ahead of him in the standings. I suspect that may change come full-time...

1321: The half-time whistle blows at Hereford and the Bluebirds jog in for their half-time cuppa with a spring in the steps.

1317: GOAL Hereford 0-1 Cardiff
What a strike from Cardiff's Kevin McNaughton to give Cardiff the lead just before the half-time whistle. The ball comes out to the edge of the box from a Cardiff corner, bounces once and McNaughton picks his spot and wellies it past stationary keeper Wayne Brown.

1315: A decent turn from Hereford's Simon Johnson, but he gets all excited and lets fly with an ambitious strike from distance that goes closer to the corner flag than the goal.

1313: Cardiff defender Roger Johnson looks in a bit of trouble after landing awkwardly on his ankle. He limps off, but with a few minutes to half-time he decides to jog gingerly back on to "run it off".

1308: My request for stadia that share their name with an actual person (1247 entry) has certainly brightened up my day. A few highlights:

"Anne Field?" from yorker_129-7 on 606
"My name is Edgar Street!" from Sean Hashagen via text
"Sharing a name with a ground..? I wish I didn't" from Balfour Webnet Darlington Arena on 606
"The bloke who does our desk moves here at work has the initials of JJB!" from Jonny five (one) on 606
"There is a sweet shop called Edgar's Treats in Goldsworth Park in Woking" from Tandy in Surrey via text
"Hello I'm called Edgar Street but I don't live in Hereford. I live not too far away in Telford!" from ed1968 on 606

We'll come back to this...

1303: A lovely flick from Toumani Diagouraga puts Kris Taylor into space inside the box, but the Bulls striker rather hurries his shot and it trickles wide. The home side are coming into this match though.

1258: It's not a classic so far at Edgar Street with no-one getting much more than two touches before launching it forward.

1254: Actually it turns out the 'outfield player in goal' debate is still raging. Latest names in the frame are John Terry, Phil Jagielka, Lucas Radebe and Bobby Moore. Also Steven Hughes of Coventry and David Morley of Macclesfield earn a mention.

1252: Cardiff full-back Kevin McNaughton is played in by a skilful ball from Peter Whittingham and goes close with an effort on goal from an acute angle that clips the outside of the post.

Still not much to choose between these two teams so far.

1247: Now that we've cleared up the great 'outfield player in goal' debate, here's another one for you.

Is anybody out there called Edgar Street? Or do you know an Edgar Street? Do you know an Edgar Street who lives in Hereford? Are there any other stadia likely to share their name with an actual person?

I'm not sure how we're going to verify whether anyone emailing in is called Edgar Street. We're just going to have to trust you guys.

1244: First booking of the match as Paul Parry's lunge on Trent McClenahan is deservedly followed with a yellow card. Parry is a former Hereford player, and he certainly made his mark on McClenahan with that challenge.

1241: Trevor Benjamin holds the ball up well for Hereford, turns the defender and fires a dangerous shot on goal which just curls wide of the far post. Cardiff will have to keep a close eye on him.

1236: The question about outfield players in goal (1221 entry) has generated a flurry of responses with Vinnie Jones, David Platt, Dexter Blackstock, Niall Quinn and John O'Shea all having their supporters.

Somewhat cruelly, 4thecaptain opts for former England and Spurs number one Paul Robinson.

1232: Paul Parry has the first shot for Cardiff on the volley, but it is a brilliant save from Wayne Brown, who dives low to his right to push it wide. Even Steve Brown would have been proud of that one.

1231: We're under way at Edgar Street.

1230: The line-ups for the first match today are:
Hereford: Brown, McClenahan, Beckwith, Collins, Rose, Johnson, Smith, Diagouraga, Taylor, Benjamin, Robinson.
Subs: Ingham, Easton, McCombe, Palmer, Gwynne.

Cardiff: Oakes, McNaughton, Johnson, Loovens, Capaldi, Whittingham, McPhail, Rae, Ledley, Parry, Thompson.
Subs: Enckelman, Hasselbaink, Purse, Ramsey, Blake.

Referee: Andy D'Urso (Essex)

1221: Second up today, we've got Man Utd taking on Spurs at Old Trafford. Just as they did back in an FA Cup tie in 1980 when Glenn Hoddle played in goal after an injury to the Spurs keeper Milija Aleksic.

That is one thing that modern football is definitely lacking in - outfield players taking the gloves after unfortunate injuries/red cards. As a Charlton fan, my personal favourite was stalwart defender Steve Brown who seemed to have a go in goal every other week at one stage.

Who is your favourite outfield player in goal? That's the big question of the day.

1218: "30 goals in the three ties today. Hereford 5-2 Cardiff, Man United 4-7 Spurs, Sheff United 9-3 Man City."

Big chat from Darrell there. Tell you what, I'm going to wager that there will be less than 30 goals today. That's just my opinion though.

Quite right. Who cares about the Australian Open final when you've got Hereford v Cardiff at Edgar Street just minutes away? Not me, that's for absolute certain.

1211: The Hereford fans are chanting "Ing-er-land" during the warm-up. There could be a bit of international flavour to this one.

1205: The first pictures from Edgar Street are coming through, with both sets of players - funnily enough - warming up and knocking a few balls around. Who would have thought it?

Anyway, what do you reckon is going to go on in today's matches?

1200: Hello one and all, it's part II of the FA Cup fourth round weekend, and we're half an hour away from kick-off in the first match of the day: Hereford v Cardiff.

We might not have the bin men and fitness instructors of the heroic Havant & Waterlooville against Liverpool on show, but League Two side Hereford have the chance to spring a Cupset against Championship outfit Cardiff.

Later on we have the glamour tie of the round in Man Utd v Spurs and after that we have Sheffield United v Man City.
