Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool all have massively boring home draws but I bet at least two of them will be televised. My televised predictions: Preston v Arsenal Man U v Reading West Ham v Man City Liverpool v Plymouth or Newport Everton v Leicester Hull v Swansea (Welsh TV)* * not sure if the deal for showing a Welsh tie on telly extends to showing their away matches. If not, substitute Cardiff v Fulham. I think Spurs Villa has a good chance. Top PL team against fallen giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hoping they leave our game alone. Will be needing to get drunk (it's a day out in Landan) and would rather not have to book a Monday off to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 If Cambridge were non-league, maybe. Failing that there is no way they'll pick a tie not involving a Premier League side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertaining and enjoyable, mainly because Wimbledon are on my coupon. Wonder what the odds were at 3-0? Probably better than my coupons odds!! Wimbledon were 200/1 around the 75th minute.

According to tonight's MEN that's now 55 cup ties in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Uninspiring but unsurprising choices given the guff draw. I was hoping BT wouldn't show Man Utd as they've been decent at showing random pucks from both England and Scotland before but they'll get big viewing figures so you can't really blame them. ITV showed Mam Utd at home to Crawley (who may have been non-league at the time) FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, a non-league team getting their big day at Old Trafford is at least an interesting story so can see why it would be shown. Showing them at home to Championship dross who were in the PL a few years ago is very dull though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing them at home to Championship dross who were in the PL a few years ago is very dull though. It is quite interesting but I don't think it's interesting enough to justify full live match coverage. At the very best you'd probably be watching a strong home side playing in second gear before inevitably winning. An extended highlights feature would suffice. I suppose the manufactured justification for the Reading game will be Jaap Stam taking his team to Old Trafford. Yawn, so what. Give me a game between two evenly matched teams any time. I'd much rather the tv companies gambled with some unfashionable sides than take the easy, audience guaranteeing clubs route in the earlier rounds. There's already been some cracking games involving the minnows this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudu Dahan pal Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 This Newport v Plymouth game has been awful. Boy Upfront who missed the pen for Plymouth has been utter shite. Goodwillie won a second penalty which Graham Carey scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
