    The fans are streaming into The Hawthorns as we tick toward our first kick-off of the FA Cup fifth round. Can one of these clubs go all the way to Wembley for the final?There is absolutely no reason why not. And they know it.

    John Joe O'Toole

    "Morning dear, Happy Valentine's Day. What's that? Oh, yeah I'm just sticking my John-Joe O'Toole outfit on."

    For 1,000s of partners in Northampton, that could possibly be how conversations went this morning for today, apparently, is John-Joe O'Toole day for Cobblers fans.

    Yep, that's right. More than 1,000 Northampton supporters spent the first few hours of Valentine's Day staring at a mirror, adjusting their wigs and sticking on headbands before making the trip to Mansfield, dressed up in honour of the club's 26-year-old midfielder.

    Nicky Breen: On our way home from Sydney FC v Melbourne game, at 37 weeks pregnant, it was my choice for Valentines Day and we did meet playing football.

    Randy Johynson: On honeymoon in Paris. Left the missus there and flew to UK to see Portsmouth versus Liverpool at Fratton Park. Visiting from Oz.

    Tom McConnell: Got with my last long-term girlfriend the day Saints got promoted. Don't think she approved of that being the anniversary I celebrated.

    Wrexham v Blyth

    "It's in! And the crowd are going absolutely mad. Dixie McNeil has kept Wrexham alive. Blyth scored in the 89th minute to win at Stoke, but they have been denied here, in the 89th minute.

    "The final whistle is blown and in truth one must say justice is done. Wrexham had so much of the game but it was a memorable performance by Blyth Spartans. They have a second chance to make history at St James' Park, Newcastle. The Blyth players go over to thank their fans, and the support they have been given today has been quite tremendous, the sort of support that only the North East can produce."

    "I hope this is an open game where both sides go for it. It will be close, though. They are both in decent form - West Brom have only lost one of their last eight games, and for West Ham it is one defeat in nine.

    "It will be close, though. Neither side will want a replay, especially the Baggies who are still trying to get clear of trouble, but I think that is what they will end up with."

    Supporters are just being let into The Hawthorns and it would seem kick-off time remains unaffected, despite the traffic problems disrupting West Ham supporters' journey north.

    Not long until we find out the teams for the first game of the day.

    Brian Howard

    "Brian Howard has won it! Liverpool are going out of the FA Cup! Absolutely extraordinary. Surely there is no way back from this. Good luck Simon Davey in trying to keep your team calm after that. In added time at the end of the game, Liverpool cannot get the ball away and Howard is there. That is a goal that will be remembered for years and years in Barnsley."

    "Derby are going for automatic promotion to the Premier League but I think Rams boss Steve McClaren will see the FA Cup as a chance to keep their good run going rather than a distraction.

    "Reading have spent most of the season in the bottom half of the Championship table but I don't see them as being in danger of going down.

    "The Royals are not going to reach the quarter-finals either, though. From what I have seen of them, Derby are the best all-round team in that division.

    Can Darren Bent fire Derby into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup? The striker has been in fine form since joining the Championship promotion chasers on loan, scoring three goals in four games.

    Why did Villa, the Villa who can't score for toffee, let him go?

    Liverpool

    "It's the equaliser! Stephen Foster is there for Barnsley and the tie is far from over. Foster equalised against Blackpool and has done it again at Anfield. Despatched into the back of the net by the defender, who got there ahead of Jamie Carragher. Barnsley are level with half an hour to play."

    "I think Stoke will find it hard against Blackburn. The identity of the club seems to be back under Gary Bowyer and they are very good at home. But I do think Stoke will have too much for them. On the break they just have too much pace, with the likes of Victor Moses and Mame Diouf."
