FA Cup 3rd round - alternative game now Charlton’s off

lordromford

Not a lot of options today unless you really want to watch Liverpool dick Accrington 5-0 at Anfield or Man City wallop Salford at the Etihad.

Today I’d rather watch Bristol C v Wolves or Norwich v Brighton. Not mouth watering, but at least they might be competitive. Not sure if they’re even available though.

(One thing I hadn’t realised until this morning was that of the 20 Prem teams, 15 were drawn at home. This is good for the minnows who’ve got these windfalls of course, but it means there are very few games where you think there might be a genuine chance of an upset.)

And two of the five away from home were at other PL sides

Cheers, but that thread’s for people who’d travelled to Preston. I’m now watching Bristol City v Wolves on the box.

Looking at the fixtures for today, why on earth is Leyton Orient vs Derby a 6pm KO???

Think it’s called off now, but I assume the original reason was for TV. Kick off times over the FA Cup weekends were pretty wild generally now.
