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...

Do you not have one of them fancy new cars with a radio?

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).
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..)
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.

1) Chels,Arse,Liv,Citeh or Soton away.
2) Brighton away
3) Anybody else at home.

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