Cambridge if we beat the Blunts
Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?

Interesting draws. I think Sheff Utd might beat Preston and think they might beat Man United as well. I reckon Arsenal will lose to Boro.

They have a point though. West Brom v West Ham. Who in the name of God chose that one?
The Beeb wanted to do Football Focus live from Valley Parade which would've given them at bit of dosh but WYP have vetoed that because Leeds are at home to Millwall.

They (Bradford) do as far as we are concerned, but the Beeb or BT will find it easier to sell on an all Prem match than Bradford v whoever to the rest of the TV watching/advertising money run world. That's the Beeb spending your licence money sensibly ......... yeh, I don't buy it either.
(I buy the licence, not the Beeb's almost non-existent sports strategy).
Who the hell is going to turn up for L666s v Millwall anyway? Just to get me going on West Yorkshire Plod again.

"Instead, the ties between West Brom and West Ham, Crystal Palace versus Liverpool or Bolton, Aston Villa versus Leicester, Arsenal versus Middlesbrough and Preston or Sheffield United versus Cambridge or Manchester United will be shown as live matches over the weekend of Saturday, February 14."
I can agree with CP v Liverpool/Bolton, a bit of a risk if Bolton with the replay but Liverpool must still be favorites for this one. Cannot for the life of me know who will want to watch Villa v Leicester though!!!! The other matches make sense I suppose. I wonder if the Beeb are worried that Fulham may actually beat Sunderland in their replay and then you are left with Bradford v Fulham, and that is about as unattractive as it gets!!

No. I think Bradford should be rewarded with the live match, whoever they drew. They gave the FA Cup the shot in the arm it desperately needed and then get ignored.
I would rather watch them play Fulham than any of those chosen with perhaps the exception of PNE v Cambridge.
