Saturday 4 January 2014
Blackburn Rovers v Manchester City (12.45pm) – Live on BT Sport
Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur (5.15pm) – Live on ITV

Sunday 5 January 2014
Nottingham Forest v West Ham United (12.00) – Live on ITV
Derby County v Chelsea (2.15pm) – Live on BT Sport
Manchester United v Swansea City (4.30pm) – Live on BT Sport

Man Utd v Swansea!!!!! Why? 2 average mid-table Premiership sides who have been on TV loads of times this season already. I'd much rather watch a game such as Rochdale v Leeds or a similar game such as ours where one of the lowest ranked sides left has a chance of a cup upset.

Whatever happened to the romance of The FA Cup.

It's annoying they always pick Man U but to be expected by now. Maybe BBC having the cup rights back will change this? (I doubt it!)

BT Sport will have made a pretty simple commercial decision over which games available to them will get the highest viewing figures. More people will watch Man Utd vs Swansea than would watch Rochdale vs Leeds or Grimsby vs Huddersfield. This will mean more people are likely to take out new subscriptions and advertising revenue will be greater.

Would be funny if we draw Man U next round and they decide not to pick it!

Are Al Jazeera showing any games?

I heard we made quite an impression over in the Gulf...

Because Man Utd are ALWAYS on. See http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/jan/23/manchester-united-fa-cup-live-tv - the last Man Utd FA Cup game not to be on live TV was their 0-0 draw with Exeter, 9 years ago.

One interesting question is whether having a "live broadcast fee" is sensible.  Why do 10 clubs - picked at the whim of TV executives - pick up an extra £144k each?  Wouldn't it be more equitable to share the £1.44 million, either between all the clubs competing in the round, or between all the winners - effectively adding it to the prize money?   What exactly are these 10 clubs being rewarded (or remunerated) for?

Apparently Man Utd have now had 42 successive FA Cup games live on TV. The last Man Utd FA Cup game that wasn't televised live was in 2005 when they played then, non league Exeter City at home!!!

Maybe they should share it equally between everybody who makes the fourth qualifying round. Just to be sure.
