Dejected Delia Downed As Luton Go Loopy - Norwich City 0-1 Luton Town
For many Hatters' fans the last decade has been a gloomy tale of relegation, administration and heartbreak. 2008-09 saw the club docked 30 points for financial irregularities and with the penalty too large to overcome, Luton were relegated to the Conference for the first time.
This seasons FA Cup competition will forever be elicit in the minds of every Luton fan, with the competition starting with a 2-0 victory over Cambridge United before a first round win over Nuneaton in a replay. The second round saw the Hatters face fellow non league side Dorchester. The Bedfordshire outfit came out as 2-1 victors and set up a tantalising tie against Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers. Alex Lawless' sweet strike sent the Kenilworth Road faithful into raptures as a 1-0 triumph sent Luton into Round 4.

They've Don It! - Queens Park Rangers 2-4 Milton Keynes Dons
In their short history, MK Dons have never had much to cheer about in the FA Cup. After two previous ties against the Queens Park Rangers in recent years, Milton Keynes Dons travelled to Loftus Road to take on a side who sat bottom of the Premier League, under new manager Harry Redknapp, and who were struggling to find a victory. Dons form was not up to scratch either though, and a good League One campaign has started to dip.

Latics 'Old On - Oldham Athletic 3-2 Liverpool
Sitting 19th in League One and fans getting on the managers' back. Things look bleak for Oldham Athletic. But, their FA Cup odyssey this season has given their fans something to cheer about. Round 1 saw the Latics overcome non league Kidderminster Harriers 2-0 at Aggborough before and all League One tie against Doncaster saw them come out 3-1 victors. In Round 4, Oldham travelled to the City Ground, Nottingham to play Nottingham Forest. A stunning performance saw the Lancashire side win 3-2 and resigned Alex McLeish to a defeat.

Round Up
You may be wondering why Brentford haven't been mentioned yet. Well, they did achieve an incredible result at home to Chelsea, but I thought I'd wait until the replay and write a whole post on them. I must commend the Bees though. A strong force in League One, and able to hold Chelsea at 2-2. It's a great time to be a Brentford fan.
