Because they have the depth. We have it too in midfield but it's deep s****

I'd be interested to see whether the RS clobber Leicester City this weekend to follow up after the embarrassment this week.. I may give us a chance against Chelsea in this cup if so.

Well Plop said they are going to unleash Weetabix legs against Leicester.

Not that at all though. I know the finances make sense but for equality they shouldn't be able to do it. Like Everton Chelsea is a better tie than Swansea united for a neutral even without blue tinted glasses I can see that!!

Televised matches are picked as the ones that will generate more advertising income and games that can be sold globally.
Neutrality or equality don't come into it
The game sold its sold for the almighty dollar and it's the players , owners and TV companies that benefit
Fans are way down the list of priorities for TV companies.

strictly speaking that's not true, look at the 'super sunday' the other day for instance, I think there were 2 goals and not a single team in the top 6 were on. Likewise the friday night football, bournemouth vs brighton, hardly a thriller. There is a demand for equality but for some reason taht doesn't spill over into the cups, United are permanently on no matter how one sided a game it might be, e.g burton in the last round.

Is it mate? That's good news if so as in the OS last night when I posted it was saying Tuesday

And the Sky sports website has all 8 games down as being on Tuesday which is obviously wrong.

Hopefully they just haven't finished deciding what games are on what night.

Bit rubbish if we have to play Sun to Tues, can't see a reason why Chelsea would need to play on Tues so should be a Wed game.

Every club has to have a minimum number of live games on Sky.thats in the contract
You can be assured that the likes of Brighton , Bournemouth etc will only be shown for the bare minimum number of times while the Sky 6 will be on a lot more.
Cups , well that's open season and the TV companies can show who they want

Anyone think this will go down to just STHs?

Not sure it will based on the ticket site. It's frustrating because they lock it down once you have purchased your ticket, but I logged on earlier to check for a mate who has 3+ and there are 5 blocks for Upper and Lower and only Upper 1 is available. All the rest say Sold Out.

However, it may just be that they haven't released the tickets for another block yet. In the past they would say Sold Out for restricted views before they had sold all non-restricted ones for the Anfield Derby and others like that.
