Third round draw just now, wasn't great tbh, Famine will have the full draw in the OP but two all PL clashes are West Ham v Man City and Everton v Leciester, Man United at home to Reading, non league Sutton at home to Wimbledon, Preston v Arsenal, Liverpool v Newport/Plymouth, Spurs v Villa, Chelsea v Notts County/Peterborough.
 
OK lovely people the third round starts tomorrow night with West Ham v Man City live on BBC One, other TV games are Man United v Reading, Preston v Arsenal, Liverpool v Plymouth, Spurs v Aston Villa and Cambridge v Leeds. BBC and BT Sport share the games like last season, all other fixtures are mostly 3pm Saturday games but there are a few on Sunday, fourth round draw is Monday night.
 
Was going ot wait until someone else had posted before posting but its been surprisingly quiet here this weekend.

No-one cares about the FA Cup until the 6th round when only the big clubs are left, with the odd plucky outsider. Unless a big club gets knocked out.

I was interested in all the whining about big clubs disrespecting the competition by fielding weakened sides, but no mention at all of Neil Warnock disrespecting the competition by fielding a weakened side and telling everyone he was going to resulting in a 25% usual size crowd and then saying he could barely be bothered to get up for the match and it's not like it was an important game for them.
 
Fourth round draw on shortly on BBC 2 from 7pm, been a very interesting weekend though. Stoke, West Brom and Bournemouth out, Howe made 11 changes to his Bournemouth team, Liverpool had the youngest ever team in an FA Cup tie as they were held by Plymouth. Man United, Man City and Chelsea cruised through, Arsenal were made to sweat by Preston but squeezed through.
 
Bunch of third round replays on tonight with three tomorrow night, Lincoln v Ipswich live on BBC One tonight from 8pm, credit to the Beeb for showing that, Plymouth v Liverpool tomorrow night on BT.
 
Fourth round starts tomorrow night with Derby v Leicester live on BBC One.

Yesterday Liverpool were knocked out at home to a middling Championship side, the Championship second place team were convincingly knocked out by a middling League One side, the Championship leaders were knocked out by a non-league side...

... and still there's been no posts in this thread, because absolutely no-one cares about the FA Cup until the 6th round when only the big clubs are left.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal put in routine wins, Spurs were taken close but ultimately won and it'll be forgotten inside a week and Manchester United (who are on television again, for the fifty billionth game in a row) are playing the Championship bottom side today in a completely non-descript day that will possibly feature another team that might go on an amusing little run and get knocked out in the quarter-finals or semis by a big club and everyone will forget about by May.

Because no-one cares about the FA Cup.
 
People do post about the cups but in the main thread. The cups probably don't justify their own threads if not only for the elimination stats in the OPs.

I'm delighted that Lincoln, Oxford and Wolves claimed scalps. The League Cup though, for me, shouldn't be earmarked by a big club as a claimant to a "successful season". There are far too many Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea et al. fans who only care about it if they win and when they don't win, say that it doesn't matter and shouldn't count at all.

I'd go further and get rid of it all together, along with the Half-Members Johnston's LDV Freight Rover Windscreens Trophy. You only need one cup competition.

And yet literally no posts there either! There was some mention of one of the League Cup semis, but over the weekend it's all been transfers and Bundesliga...

The same applies to the FA Cup - and arguably the League Cup is the harder competition!

The Reserve XI cup? They've already succeeded in getting reserve Prem teams in the FLT.

Too many cups dilute the broth. Or something. Clough was right back in 1977; there's too much football.
 
Congrats to Lincoln, Oxford and Wolves for yesterday, but the teams they faced were very weakened, its special in particular for Lincoln though as its the first time they are in the last 16 for 102 years.

Millwall 0-0 Watford and Fulham 1-1 Hull at the moment, Sutton v Leeds and United v Wigan is to come.

Edit, Millwall just knocked out Watford 1-0 and Fulham now 3-1 up v Hull!

Edit x2, Fulham knock out Hull after a convincing 4-1 win.

My latest cup football hypothesis is about the finals themselves.

Think of any classic or revered domestic cup final and 9/10 it's the FA cup final and not the League cup final. Sure, the White Horse final and the Mortensen Matthews final predate the League cup but even since then people remember the 3-2 Arsenal/United final, the Ricky Villa final, the Wimbledon final, the Spice Boys and even Wigan beating Man City in the last minute more than all the classic League Cup finals that spring to mind, which are really very few.

Both of these happened in the same 1987/88 year but I bet people remember Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the FA cup final than they do Luton beating Arsenal in the League cup final.
 
Sutton 1-0 Leeds, full time score!, what a weekend this has been!
 
@Famine Do you have the stats for Man United being on telly at all?

What a great draw for Sutton! It's hard to believe that two non-league teams are in the last 16, never mind that one of them is playing Arsenal. There's only one Arsenal upset that matters, mind.

Anybody, including young Lincoln fans, complaining about drawing Burnley should take a look at history; in 1987 when automatic relegation to the Conference was first introduced, it came down to a fourth division Burnley vs Lincoln match. Whoever won stayed up, whoever lost went down. Burnley won and avoided dropping into the non-leagues.

So sure, away to Burnley isn't as glamorous as Arsenal at home but it's still a tie with some sentiment to most Lincoln fans, I'd imagine.

56 consecutive televised FA Cup ties, stretching right back to when they couldn't even be bothered to play in it.
 
Makes sense though, TV companies want as much viewers as possible, so having the team with the Biggest Fanbase makes sense to achieve that, Same happens here with other codes.
 
Make that 57, Blackburn v Man United, live on BT, Sun 18th Feb, i don't think the tie warrants televising, i support United....
 
So tonight the only fourth round replay takes place, its Leicester v Derby and its such a big game now for Leicester and Ranieri, a must win game one could argue, live on BBC One.
 
Fifth Round this weekend, TV games are Burnley v Lincoln, Wolves v Chelsea, Fulham v Spurs, Blackburn v Man United and Sutton v Arsenal, just three 3pm games on Saturday.

TV games are ... Man United

Oh, the shock of it all.

Incidentally, isn't it interesting to note that there's eight Premier League sides left, and none of them play each other?

Oh, the shock of it all.
