FA Cup 5th Round - Leicester at Home

[PeterWithesShin]

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool/Bolton TV
Arsenal vs Middlesbrough TV
Aston Villa vs Leicester City ?
West Brom vs West Ham ?
Preston/Sheffield United vs Cambridge/Manchester United TV

If Sunderland win the replay their trip to Bradford will be shown. Likewise decent chance of Blackburn v Stoke if Stoke win.

[dave.woodhall]

Bradford will be shown regardless of who they play.

[kippaxvilla2]

Preston v Manure would be a cert.

[Toronto Villa]

Liverpool won't be happy about their draw if they get through. Happy with ours though and if we play to our potential and Leicester have most of their attention on the PL then we'll be just fine.

[PeterWithesShin]

Manure v anyone is a cert. Booby Charlton was still playing last time one of their FA Cup games wasn't live on telly.

It's quite tricky to predict the televised games when there's a load of replays left to play. You can probably safely assume Man U will go through but Liverpool aren't absolute certainties. Will they risk picking Palace vs Liverpool with the possibility it might be Palace vs Bolton? Or will they wait till all the replays have taken place then pick a load of games, giving fans less than a fortnight to buy tickets?

I think they'll work on the principle that anyone who beats a Big Club will be news, therefore their game will be on.

They'll pick the games this week. Tickets will probably be on sale by the end of the week.

Maybe. Can't imagine them not wanting to show Liverpool as many times as possible in the Steven Gerrard Memorial Cup.

*Dreams of Preston v Cambridge being live on telly*

[cdbearsfan]

Hopefully Preston's game will be moved so Amfy can go to both.

[aj2k77]

I read that only twice in 17 years have Manure had a Fa Cup fixture not televised.

[brontebilly]

Full draw. Shame the remaining 'big boys' missed each other in the draw.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool/Bolton
Arsenal vs Middlesbrough
Aston Villa vs Leicester City
West Brom vs West Ham
Bradford City vs Sunderland/Fulham
Blackburn vs Rochdale/Stoke City
Derby County vs Reading
Preston/Sheffield United vs Cambridge/Manchester United

my selections in bold

very good draw for us. Some progress in the league before the game would be good

[amfy]

Hopefully Preston's game will be moved so Amfy can go to both.

......and Mike!

You'd think Blackburn-Stoke would probably be on before ours aswell.
