This kick off timing means we will be in the Semi final draw...just a little matter of beating Mancity!

Title: Cup

Man City v Villa is still on ITV, Arse v Orient is on ESPN, I assume. I doubt ITV could cancel as they have to pay the clubs so we could both claim compensation if they did.

Now showing on the Electronic Programming Guide... Man City v Villa, next Wednesday on ITV.

Makes sense. Man U are in Europe on the following Tuesday so their game was always going to be on the Saturday. Man City have a European game the preceding Thursday so their potential match was always going to be on the Sunday. This way the draw also avoids the possibility of both Manchester or both Birmingham clubs playing at home on the same day.

For once the Sunday kick off (should we get there) suits me as I have birthday parties go to on Friday and Saturday. Must book Monday off work, just in case.

Not great if there's a replay it will be the next Monday apparently just 2 days after we play Bolton and then city would have to play again 3 days later in kiev I understand on the thurs night.

That would be a lovely early Birthday present for me, watching us beat Everton or Reading.

I was rather hoping our game against Citeh wouldn't be on TV. Would be less nervous if I didn't have to see the game.

We won't beat Man City but IF we do i'm glad we've got the 4.45pm kick off on the sunday rather than an early kick off.

An FA Cup game on a Sunday at 5 on ESPN. We should have already played our friendley but for that 'important' England friendley. No wonder the cups losing its magic

Yeah let's just watch Man United v Arsenal instead and then complain about the media bias towards the smaller clubs.

It would still be the greatest moment of my Villa supporting life by a million miles if we won it.
