Hope you all bought shares in Kleenex; BBC will be creaming themselves big time over the 4th Round Draw.

Christ, Yeovil are the lowest ranked team left already. That's pretty dull.

Form what I heard, the BBC's games over the weekend that they chose were both borefests.

Yup. Fleetwood vs Leicester was dire. Starting my tax return whilst watching was much more interesting.

See the thread title. TV companies know what they want to see so ensure it happens. Why do you think so many draw rehearsals are done.

Wow, what a surprise, Yeovil v Man Utd will be live on BBC1. Man Utd didn't have to wait long to get another live cup tie.

Also Man city away at Cardiff or Mansfield. What. Is. The. Point? A couple of c!#p games on BT as well, with Spurs at Newport and Liverpool v West Brom.
Peterborough v Fleetwood or Leicester is the only one I'd even contemplate bothering to watch.

I might watch Newport - usually I watch the first ten or fifteen to get a feel for the game. If Spurs score earlier I'll switch off. If Newport get some stud marks on Spurs shin and thigh and an upset is on the cards I'll watch longer. If a dull game I'll switch off after ten or fifteen.

If we were in the draw maybe they would have finagled a very nice, money spinning game for us but unfortunately we can’t put away teams such as Maidstone etc; Must admit there were pangs of envy listening to the 3rd round draw. Brought back memory of being drawn away to Spurs.

Because they don`t get knocked out by minnows like Maidstone,Sutton & Tamworth.
