The Cup. Still waiting.

[Nev]

When is the FA Cup fifth-round draw?
The fifth-round draw will take place on Monday 16 February, likely ahead of Macclesfield’s tie against Brentford which kicks off at 7:30pm GMT.

The draw will take place in the broadcast before kick-off, which starts at 6:30pm, with the draw set to start at around 6:35pm GMT.

How can I watch the FA Cup draw?
You can watch the FA Cup fifth-round draw live on TNT Sports 1, discovery+ and the TNT Sports YouTube channel.

Good to know. I'll look forward to some top bantz from ex-pros.

Another of the tedious realities of modern football is anyone thinking I want to watch Joe Cole and Ally McCoist banter with each other on live television.

I nearly turned off last time, just horrific. But on your point, it seems some people like it given how many ex-player podcasts there are full of witless goons wittering on about their time in the game, full of humourless tales of pranks in the dressing room, the gaffer and his methods, fawning over the likes of Gerrard and Lampard and using the word none word "ledge" every five fucking minutes.

Oh god the podcasts. If you want to know why we never win anything as a football country just seeing how utterly unserious anyone from the former player and manager community is just beggars belief. Witless goons is a very good description.

At least there's no hope of Jermaine Jenas adding his bantz.

His hands and balls are not suitable companions for prime time viewing.

Disgree Nev.

Ledge is a proper word.

As in "Martin Keown is a fucking twat and I'd like to shove him off that ledge."

[TheToffnar]

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I will defend McCoist to the hilt.

The man exudes such passion and love for the game. Fletcher, however, can fuck off.

Agreed, also part of a select group of Scots that can be very passionate about Scotland, while also being very balanced on all things south of the border.

[TheToffnar]

Oh for sure. It's weird that McManaman shows similar qualities, but is just plain irritating by comparison. It's not just the accent either, he get's too involved almost.

There's a time and a place for that sort of carry on and it's not the Cup Draw.

It's like party poppers at a memorial service.

I think you mean 'Fletch'. 'Chappers' is alright though.

[eamonn]

Fletcher has a soft spot for the Villa. Chapman is alright but has to get the last word in when taking the piss out of a pundit and getting something back.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we get through hopefully we get Wrexham at home. The Green Lantern could be at VP!!!

[PeterWithesShin]
