Although we have the toughest matches in Feb, either side of us Utd have PSG and Liverpool so they will also need to think about resting players.

Avoided Millwall fortunately and now time to puncture OGS winning streak.

Millwall away would of been interesting though?

More hassle than it’s worth.

There’d be a lot of trouble and a few fans will get serious injuries. Is it really worth it? 

Personally I’m glad we’ve avoided them. I’d rather enjoy the matchday than looking over my shoulder.

Yes for the wrong reasons though IMO.

Saturday lunch time probably. 

Do you know when the televised fixtures will be announced?

We are away at Malmo on the Thursday prior to the FA Cup weekend, and then home the Malmo the following Thursday, so logically you would think the Monday night slot would be given to us to accommodate the travel time after the first Thursday night fixture.

It will obviously be televised though, and I have a feeling it will get the 4.30pm slot on Sunday for maximum exposure around the world...

I'm guessing it will be announced today or tomorrow.

Yes I got a feeling it will be that slot, that's when BBC would get their biggest audience, which will dictate their decision.

BBC usually show their highlight games a bit later than that - will most likely be a 6pm kick-off same as last week if we are one of the BBC matches.   We might end up being the BT match or Sky or something

 

frigging well hope not !!

6pm Sunday, or Monday night would make most logical sense given that we are away in Europe on the Thursday prior, but as others have said, I just get the feeling it will be the 4.30pm slot on the Sunday (which will get the biggest all important global audience).

Isn't 4.30pm Sky's slot?  Still  be televised, though it would be nicer on the Beeb.

Not sure actually. I think BBC get first pick (which will obviously be this game), so that could be a factor.

I am not sure who has what slots and if there is flexibility on that...?

Sky dont cover the FA cup though (or do they happy to be corrected) I thought they had the Milk cup coverage?

To be honest, I don't know if Sky do the FA Cup at all.  I thought they did, but BT had the 4pm match last Sunday,  so now I'm not so sure.

Yeah I think it might just be BBC & BT Sport.

BT Sport with the Sunday 4.30pm game and the Monday night game.

So that would mean the 6pm Sunday game is fairly likely.

Unless BBC show it at lunch time on Sunday, which I also think is one of their slots?

I wouldn't normally care this much but I have plans on Sunday which need moving, but need to know when the game is before I can begin negotiations with the wife!

 

Sunday 6pm isn’t bad for the fans regarding travel this time though as all the away fans live in Surrey. 

Personally, would have preferred a home draw against lower league opponents, at this stage.

Brilliant, I'm not the only old git that still calls the league cup the milk cup!!

United is starting to lose steam under Ole. I think that we will beat them in the FA Cup.

Really?.....
