Am I right in thinking there are no replays in the FA Cup this season? Straight to extra time and penalties? Bit of a bummer for lower tier clubs looking to hold on for a draw and make money and experiences out of replays, such as Newport who got to go to Wembley.

Quarter finals (or the sixth round as us traditionalists prefer to call it).

Which means that, in practice, only one round will be subject to the no replay rule potentially affecting a lucrative replay. (I don't think Andy Wilcox will be losing any sleep over the prospect!).
