Our best chance of winning the cup is to draw Chelsea in the semi- final.

Why?  I'd say we stand more chance of beating Chelsea in a one-off game than in aggregate over two legs.

You seen their record at the new Wembley?!

That may be so however they will take the final very seriously almost ruthlessly with their best xi where as they are likely to be a bit complacent in the semi and tinker with team selection.

Aren't the BBC showing any of the semi finals this year?

What about the final?


Where have you heard that? Massive shame if so.

BBC live football coverage is virtually non existent these days.
I am sure I heard on the radio (not BBC radio) that the next scheduled live game on the Beeb was an England qualifier sometime in Feb/March 2013. I heard this around September time !
Having said that, I think they are now showing these pathetic World club games on the Red button. We know they can't compete with the finances of Sky or for that matter ITV for the Premier/Euro/glamour stuff. However, it would surely not cost that much to get involved showing live League Cup, FA Cup with lower league clubs in early rounds, or league football outside the Premier.

I assume the Beeb put all their eggs into one Olympic basket this year and have nothing left for live football.

I prefer the Football League Show after MOTD than MOTD itself.

They showed last season's carling cup final as I watched it at home and I don't have Sky.

I also remember they used to show one leg of each semi final.

Deal must have run out I guess and they just have highlights now.

When the BBC budget cuts are described as "delicious" by the PM, who up until a while ago was very close to their main rival, it's no surprise that the Beeb have very little top class sport.

Bbc have shown one semi plus the final live in recent years - would be surprised if that is not still the case this season.

In that case it's sad that a domestic cup final can no longer be viewed on terrestrial tv channels.
