F.A cup predictions - the results

I didn't do so well this week, scoring only 9 points (1 for a correct winner, 2 for correct goal difference and 3 for correct score). Here is the lowdown on the scores and draw for the next round:
Scores:

Norwich v Luton Town - 0-1 - Possibly the biggest shock of the round as non-league Luton knock out Premier League Norwich.
Oldham v Liverpool - 3-2 - Another massive shock with Liverpool losing to their league 1 opponents after a cracking game full of attacking football.
Macclesfield Town v Wigan - 0-1 - Wigan ground out a win against their non-league opponents, not the most exciting game.
Derby v Blackburn - 0-3 - Michael Appleton's new side pulled off a great win against championship rivals Derby.
Hull v Barnsley - 0-1 - Surprising victory for championship strugglers against giants of their league.
Middlesbrough v Aldershot - 2-1 -this game burst into life in the closing stages with 3 goals in the final ten minutes as striker Lukas Jutkiewicz won out for the Boro.
MIllwall v Aston Villa - 2-1 - A surprise due to the leagues these sides are in, but not on recent form, Millwall are high-flying in the championship with Villa struggling to avoid the drop.
Leeds v Tottenham - 2-1 - A great performance from the Championship side saw them claim an unlikely victory over a strong Tottenham side containing Gareth Bale.
Brighton v Arsenal - 2-3 - Game of the round as two goals from Olivier Giroud and a late winner from Theo Walcott saw Arsenal overcome a spirited Brighton performance that wasn't quite good enough.
Stoke v Manchester City - 0-1 - Boring match that saw City edge through.
Man Utd v Fulham - 4-1 - A classy performance from the red devils saw them ease past a lackluster Fulham side.
Brentford v Chelsea - 2-2 - A spirited performance from league 2 Brentford saw them earn a replay against European champions Chelsea.
Reading v Sheffield United - 4-0 - Reading smashed Utd with a assured performance.
Huddersfield Town v Leicester - 1-1 - A close match that will now go to a replay.
QPR v MK Dons - 2-4 - A great Performance from the underdogs as even two late consolation goals from the rangers couldn't stop them.
Bolton v Everton - 1-2 - A late winner for Everton saw them through to the next round.
Draw:
Arsenal v Blackburn - The Gunners draw a home game against championship opposition.
Huddersfield/Leicester v Wigan - The reward for either Huddersfield or Leicester is a trip to Premiership Wigan.
Luton v Millwall - Non-league Luton draw championship opposition.
Man City v Leeds - The Champions of England draw Leeds at home.
Man Utd v Reading - A repeat of this seasons 4-3 thriller at Old Trafford.
Middlesbrough v Brentford/Chelsea - If Brentford can beat Chelsea they travel to the Riverside, otherwise the blues will go.
MK Dons v Barnsley - The league one side host a championship side.
Oldham v Everton - Oldham's reward for beating Liverpool is another home game against another Mersey team, Everton. 
A special mention for Jup Jamie who scored 10 points with his predictions.
