    Oh - and Sod's law, the first time we are in the bag for round five in ages, and I am picking up a mate from the airport at half five. And to add insult to injury, he's a bloody spanner...

    Sadly the signal from Radio 5 does not quite cover the Algarve mate... :-D
  • Everton away, best mate lives in Scouseland and is a mad Evertonian and Ryanair do a regular service from Limoges (where I now live) to John Lennon airport.

    Five out of eight matches are televised live and 10 or 11 of the 15 potential opponents are Premier League clubs. I would think the odds of our game being televised are about 50-50, given that Arsenal and Man City will be on live whoever they play and there are only 4/5 potential draws we could have that would definitely not be shown.

    Five out of eight? Over half the fixtures are televised live, i believe you but it sounds quite alot.

    Friday or Monday night, early Saturday, late Saturday and Sunday double header. Possibility of six being televised(??) but that's unlikely.


    Just did a randomly generated draw (what a loser...) and this is what came out. Eight dud games:

    Nottingham Forest/Preston NE v Sunderland
    Wigan Athletic v Charlton Athletic
    Southampton v Manchester City
    Liverpool v Cardiff City
    Everton v Hull City
    Sheffield United/Fulham v Arsenal
    Chelsea/Stoke v Brighton
    Swansea v Sheffield Wednesday


    Neutrals will be looking for a Liverpool derby, Wales derby, Sheffield derby, Wigan vs City, Poyet going back to Brighton and Arsenal vs Chelsea.

    That is poor lol, just checked last year in the 5th round...5 games were live on ESPN/ITV (6 including replay).
  • If it has to be a championship team I'd rather it be away, with no pressure like yesterday.

    Arsenal

    Thinking about an away trip to Arsenal, i wonder how much it would provide in revenue?

    Assuming it was on TV and a 50,000 crowd - wouldnt that mean a million pound game for us?

    wouldn't be unhappy with away at Citeh/Wigan, a Sheff team or Hull - i'd already got travel booked to Yorkshire, though for family reason s originally (honestly...just coincidence we were away at Leeds..)

    Chelsea at home, eventually we win on pens, Mourinho claims not a loss as pens don't count in that regard...deja vu

    I would like Southampton next, home or away. Then ideally, the winners of Wednesday v United from steel city.
    The Southampton bloke rested players, and they did not turn out in numbers yesterday, so that kind of attitude would give us a chance.

    Arsenal, sister lives 10 minutes from the ground and she's dating a gooner. Plus I'm sure roland will appreciate the extra money.

    No, not when FA and stadium costs are taken out of the split of gate money.

    Could well be a £1m game, depending on pricing, capacity is 60,000

    Easiest tie possible, chance of getting into the quarter final and more money.
