Romance of the FA Cup? You would have found more in a tired bouquet of petrol station carnations than in the old stadium on Fulham Road on Saturday afternoon.
This was a battering, a heavy victory for the leaders of the Premier League against the little club with big ideas from the Championship.
An upset never looked remotely likely, even when the team sheets came in and showed Antonio Conte had decided to park the vast majority of his leading lights on the bench.
The personnel he chose bludgeoned their near neighbours with amazing force, with Willian scoring a wonderful free-kick and Pedro adding yet another goal to his recent collection.
