Plymouth manager Ian Holloway got the home draw he wanted against Premiership Watford for the Quarter-Final of The FA Cup, but he claimed he was worried his club's number hadn't been included in the draw.

The tie was the last to be picked by England Head Coach Steve McClaren and his assistant Terry Venables, making it a nerve-wracking wait for Holloway and his Championship side.

But now they have the chance to get revenge on Watford, the club who knocked Plymouth out of the competition at the semi-final stage in 1984.

Holloway said: "The home draw was the most important thing, but I thought someone was playing a cruel joke and had left our name out of the hat at one point.

"It's going to be a special day at Home Park but Watford will be thinking they can come to us and win as well.

"We would like to get revenge for what happened all those years ago, but I'm just proud to be in at this stage.

"It's not about how Watford are doing in the league, it's about the home tie and if the fans respond like they did when we beat Derby on Saturday it will be a fantastic occasion."

Reading's fairytale season continued on Saturday when they took Premiership leaders Manchester United to a replay and they will face either Middlesbrough or West Brom should they advance to the last eight.

But chairman John Madejski is just delighted to be welcoming Sir Alex Ferguson's side back to the ground named after him for a replay in a fortnight's time.

He said: "There's just the small business of Manchester United before we get too excited about the Quarter-Final, but we're confident we can take any side on.

"We're delighted United are coming back to Reading, it's what The Cup's all about, and it's great to get a second bite of the cherry on our own turf.

"We've beaten Boro recently so we would be up for playing them or West Brom, but we've got a herculean task in front of us first."

The two remaining ties pit favourites Chelsea against Tottenham and the winners of Blackburn and Arsenal's replay will be at home to Manchester City.
