Liverpool away - SUNDAY 19th / 4.30pm / ESPN - CONFIRMED!!

[Giraffe]

Other point to note is that there is a good chance of our game being Friday night as has been the case in the last two rounds when both Liverpool teams at home.

I know but I was making an assumption ( so my assumption will upset Middlesbrough fans .... bad luck ! ).

Everton v Blackpool is a local derby and a more competitive fixture.

PG

 

[Braders]

No! Stoke are playing on the Thursday!!!! In Europe!!! Hardly going to play 24hrs later.

Edit: you sneaky boy. U edited lol! Ur guess is just about right now I think!

Yeah I spotted the error and switched the two , thought no one would notice ...

Not if our game is first pick for TV! Then it goes to ITV and they also choose the KO they want which won't be fri night.

Crawley stoke will be Sunday morning game, arsenal will be Sunday 4, stevenage saturday morning, chelsea or everton saturday evening and ours will be Friday night

 

[Tooting Gull]

I don't think Southampton v Bolton is in any way an attractive TV tie. Firstly, Bolton are not a big name, and secondly it would hardly be a shock. How many places are there between them in the 'pyramid'?

Stevenage definitely, and Crawley, and they'll probably do Arsenal because of the viewing figures but us no lower than fourth.

I would put a large sum of money on our game being Friday night. or the Saturday 5.15 slot.

There is now way our game will the be the first pick. That has to be Stevenage v Spurs or Crawley v Stoke.

So I reckon we will be on ESPN again.

Debatable. ITV love having the biggest team left in the competition. And that is Liverpool. The fact we beat Newcastle only adds to the prospect of a major shock exit for the scousers. Stevenage? Spurs will smash them. Crawley? Hmm against the most boring team in the prem! I'd say we have a very good chance of being first pick!

At the mo ESPN have slots for fa cup on Saturday lunch time and Sunday afternoon not Friday eve.ITV won`t have a game on Friday eve, and with Everton playing last Friday they will get a Satuday slot.So it`s got to be Sunday.

As much as I would love the ITV slot and the chance to watch us in HD, I would prefer ESPN just in case we get completely stuffed on national TV. I said just in case.

Every time we have been on the telly i've been at the game itself so have yet to watch one in the comfort of my front room. It is, unfortunately, looking increasingly unlikely that I will be able to go to the Liverpool game as my wife said 'you are taking the piss' when I mentioned I might need to spend the weekend there. With a stag do to Prague the weekend after the Pool match i'm kind of hoping it's on the TV. ESPN can get f***ed though I don't have it so ITV please

No offence mate but you need to grow some balls. This is the first trip to Anfield for 21 years. You need to get your sorry arse up there!!!

But with your giffgaff phones you can text and chat all you want at no extra cost - what more does she want?

I said I wouldn't get a season ticket and then did. I said it was because I wouldn't be going to any more away games, and then went to Southampton. And Reading. And Palace tomorrow. I'll see you at Anfield

 

[footychick]

ITV please

 

[Simster]

Does anyone know when these decisions are actually made?

I'm hoping this will sell it to her haha

 

[Bold Seagull]

It's hard to believe that we won't be 1 of the 5, when there are only 8 to choose from.

It's difficult to remove Albion bias, but in terms of attractiveness the order has to be something like...


Stevenage v Tottenham

Crawley Town v Stoke (Hate to say it but genuine chance of an old money Division 4 team knocking out a Premiership 'giant')

Liverpool v Brighton

Sunderland or Middlesbrough v Arsenal or Aston Villa

Chelsea v Birmingham

Millwall or Southampton v Bolton

Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday

Norwich v Leicester

I'd have it something like this where actually we are in a clump of 4 possible ties where there isn't a lot to call with regard to TV preference. Everton v Blackpool would be a big game with a real FA cup history behind it, making for a nice build up. Chelsea are slowly becoming favourites and haven't been on live yet. If Sunderland go through, it's the one all Premiership tie and would get a big viewing.

One thing is for sure, I think the Bolton and Norwich ties are down the list...

Stevenage v Tottenham

Crawley Town v Stoke

Liverpool v Brighton
Chelsea v Birmingham
Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Sunderland v Arsenal or

[Middlesbrough v Arsenal]

Millwall or Southampton v Bolton

Norwich v Leicester

 

[Springal]

I'm going for Sunday lunch time, Crawley Sunday evening
