And Arsenal reserves against another Premiership side for the 2nd round in a row. Boring!

Completely agree. I am not saying it should have been us instead but who wants to watch Stoke against Arsenal reserves. Why don't they choose proper cup ties rather than all Premier League games where the big teams just put out their reserves?

could still be moved to the sunday on police advice tho

The chances are they would like the one with the largest attendence to be the normal time, Wolves will probably get moved if anything, unless of course they decide to put us as the FA Website live game at 6.15pm on the Sunday, can't see it though, it's not a tie that really means anything to anyone apart from us!

I am sorry but you're wrong, West Ham v Arsenal yesterday was a terrific cup tie with both sides going at it 100%, sure both teams made changes but it was a thoroughly entertaining tie and most importantly competitive with the result in doubt right until the end.

I can understand if Birmingham were due to be at home on the same day, but Wolverhampton is a good 20 miles away from Birmingham, so I can't see it being much of a problem. I'm sure Wolves and Aston Villa would have both played at home on the same day in the past
