Home to Burnley. Great draw for us.

Derby against United will be interesting t see if United can proceed against a team one tier above their last opponents.
 
Northampton/MK vs Chelsea is an interesting one. Northampton is literally about 15 miles away, MK not too much further. I'd love to see one of them two really take it to Chelsea.

Chelsea are starting to play now. Unsurprising given that the players succeeded in their quest to oust Mourinho. They'll smash whomever they face.

If you want to see Chelsea then get your tickets ASAP! Normally tickets against the top teams get sold out really quick.

The replay probably needs to happen before tickets go on sale.
I don't envy Carlisle fans right now, having to travel to Yeovil for a midweek game. Just the buzillion mile round trip.

Yeah, Chelsea is looking a little bit better every game. Hope we can save this season with the FA Cup :ill:.
 
So the third round replays start tomorrow, BT are showing a game but it weirdly doesn't say which one on their website, one of the games tomorrow include Villa v Wycombe so it might be that....or Bolton v Eastleigh, on Wednesday BBC have got Leicester v Spurs on BBC One.

As for the Fourth Round, most of the games that have been picked for TV are waiting on replays like Colchester v Leicester/Spurs, Exeter/Liverpool v West Ham and Northampton/MK Dons v Chelsea will be shown.

One of the games not waiting on a replay is Derby v Man United on the Friday night, this games means that every FA Cup game involving United has been televised since 2005...
 
Seriously? Since 2005? Damn, I do feel sorry for people who support smaller clubs like mid table championship sides but live maybe 100 miles away because tyoud never get their games on TV or if you do it 1/2 games a year.
 
I was a bit shocked at that too, I thought it was only the last few years that we had every cup game televised but not a run that lasts 11 years!

Villa beat Wycombe 2-0 (four unbeaten for them now), Bury needed penalties to beat Bradford, Carlisle also needed penalties to beat Yeovil, West Brom had a narrow 0-1 win away to Bristol City in the TV game on BT, MK Dons get a home tie to Chelsea in the fourth round after beating Northampton 3-0, elsewhere there were wins for Portsmouth, Reading and Bolton who beat the last non-league team left in Eastleigh 3-2, also Blackburn beat Newport 1-2 in the postponed third round game.

Tomorrow is Leicester v Tottenham on BBC One and Liverpool v Exeter....not on BBC one!
 
I read about Man United's TV run online, it goes back to a replay against Exeter in the 3rd round, the 0-0 wasn't shown. How times change, eh? Now they get a 0-0 on TV almost every week :lol:
 
Spurs beat Leicester 0-2 and Liverpool beat Exeter 3-0, Son and Chadli for Spurs and Allen, Ojo and Texiera for the Pool
 
Fourth Round is this weekend, the TV games are.....Derby v Man United on BBC One with a 7.55pm KO on Friday Night, Colchester v Tottenham on BT at 12.45pm on Saturday, Liverpool v West Ham on BT at 5.30pm on Saturday, Carlisle v Everton on BBC at 1.30pm on Sunday and finally MK Dons v Chelsea on BBC at 4pm on BBC also on Sunday, all the other games are 3pm KO's on Saturday and there are no games on Monday Night.
 
Even though this is being shown live on the Tele, I think I'll record it for later. I've been having trouble getting sleep recently, chances are this will do a great job of remedying that. :sly:

Edit: Maybe not...

Good win last night, the away support was fantastic, didn't stop singing 👍

Colchester v Tottenham on now, Poch has made a few changes but its still a strong team, Kane starts and is captain.

Edit: Lovely finish by Chadli, 0-1 to the Spurs!

Not that you'd know from looking at the sports pages. It's all about Arsenal getting through and Man City scoring four...

Apparently we're the team no-one ever talks about...

I see from the highlights on MOTD that you were seriously robbed. 2-2 in injury time an a guy gets molested in the box and the penalty waved off, only to have Shrewsbury run down the other end and score...

Yet as a team 1 division and 38 places higher, we shouldn't be in a position to have a single piece of misfortune in the 97th minute lose us the game.

Everyone has bad luck every now and then. In a match like that one, it shouldn't matter.
 
Fifth Round draw is on later at around 6.15pm, after the MK Dons-Chelsea game, Everton beating Carlisle 0-2 right now.

Edit, Everton now 0-3 up and cruising...

Fifth round draw

Chelsea v Man City
Reading v West Brom/Peterborough
Watford v Leeds
Shrewsbury v Man United
Blackburn v Liverpool/West Ham
Tottenham v Crystal Palace
Arsenal v Hull
Bournemouth v Everton

Ties to take place between 19th-22nd February.

Both fourth round replays take place on Tuesday the 9th.
 
The replays are this week, West Ham v Liverpool on BT on Tuesday and Peterborough v West Brom on BBC One on Wednesday.

No surprise to learn that Chelsea v Man City is a TV game on Sunday afternoon, City are angry with the scheduling of it though as they have a Champions League game against Dynamo Kiev three days later, also no surprise that Shrewsbury v Man United has been picked for TV on a Monday night, don't know which channels yet.
