FA Cup TV Games

[AustrianAndyGull]

Hope Wrexham can beat Brighton as the tie with Newcastle is on tv on the saturday. I'd quite like to watch Wrexham v Newcastle. I think Watford v Spurs is the Friday night game.

Reasons for certain clubs being on TV regardless.
Sunderland, and moreso Newcastle are seen as north east giants with a massive cup tradition by the sychophantic media. Newcastle are ALWAYS made about 6th favourites for the cup at the start of round 3 despite not having won it since the mid 50's.
I dread them ever winning anything, the media would go into a geordie thrashfest! (Thrash=w@nk for the unknowing).
ITV and BBC are now starved of screening top flight matches, so when a clash comes around in the cup they go into a frenzy and show it despite the same clubs being on Sky a dozen times a season.
They aren't interested in anyone else other than ManUre, Chelski,Thieverpool and now Man Shitty and harrys Titsonham!
rant over for the time being

I don't want to watch Newcastle, i WANT to watch Wrexham! ( seriously, i DO want to watch Wrexham, if it were Brighton v Newcastle i probably won't watch it - just love watching lower league teams, i'm used to it i guess ).

It really drives me round the bend with the constant love-in with Newcastle on the BBC!

Not sure if anyone else has seen it yet but ITV has announced the following games for the 4th round:

• Liverpool v Manchester United - well of course they would!

• Sunderland v Middlesborough - they've obviously picked it because it's a derby but they don't realise that it's a one way derby (i.e. only Middlesborough fans see it as such). Seen that Sunderland have dropped their ticket prices for the game to £20 as they're worried fans will watch it on the telly

The FA Cup suddenly exists again, because it's Man Utd v Liverpool this weekend.
