Fans of the big clubs still left in the FA Cup must have breathed a sigh of relief after the quarter final draw.
The Premier League big boys missed each other as the ties were drawn for the last eight of the cup competition.
While there are no easy ties in the cup, the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea swerved each other (although the face difficult games against West Ham and Everton respectively).
But all some fans could talk about was the fact reigning champions Arsenal have been handed yet another home clash in the draw – with a fixture against Watford awaiting if they can see off Hull.
It’s four times in a row now they’ve been drawn at the Emirates Stadium in this season’s competition, but this stat is even crazier…
If they get through Arsenal will have had 11 home ties in the last 13 draws (excluding semis & final).

But before we’d even had chance to run off and fact check the FA Cup results from previous years, the conspiracy theorists were out in force…
