They'll stick with Martinez. They gave Moyes 10years+ and Martinez is doing no worse

Now two all. Fat lass might need a taxi.

Everton now 1-1 trying to go for a winner.

Draw at Everton. Replay at Upton Park.

Draw at Scunny too. Fat lass is booked for a fortnight's time.

For me, the best games for TV in order would be:

1) Brighton v Arsenal
2) Cambridge v Man Utd
3) Birmingham v West Brom
4) Aston Villa v Bournemouth
5) Blackburn v Swansea
6) Doncaster or Bristol City v Everton or West Ham

These are all lower division teams at home to PL sides (which usually make the most interesting contests & most likely upsets) except Villa v Bournemouth which also has upset expectations because Bournemouth are flying while Villa are struggling.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I would go with those games as well but I expect to see Chelsea and/or Man City on the list for the simple task of audience ratings, particularly abroad!!

The BT Sports Live matches are:

Brighton v Arsenal
Rochdale v Stoke
Liverpool v Bolton


Also Blackburn v Swansea is live on BBC Wales.

Surprised that Birmingham v West Brom has been ignored and I think that Villa v Bournemouth will be very interesting and would be my first choice to watch.

The Liverpool v Bolton game makes little sense for the average fan as regards an interesting game, but they have to show at least a couple of the top teams irrespective of who they are playing. Thats why our game was live on TV over here, as was Chelsea, it draws a bigger tv audience that what we would consider an interesting tie such as Birmingham v WBA!!

Trying not to be biased, our game v Man City was a game to get people interested. The reigning Premier League champions v a team not doing too badly in the championship. Out of all the games v "big" teams this game, and the Chelsea v Watford one, were the ones most likely to cause an upset

Not sure I agree with that!! They beat us 7-0 earlier in the season, it should have been a walkover and we all expected that!! Yeovil V MU, Wimbledon v Liverpool, Tranmere v Swansea and maybe Arsenal v Hull (as a repeat of last season's final) were all games that should have been showed before ours. Blyth Spartans against Brum should also have been shown as this is the romance and essence of the third round, non-league at home against a decent sized team.

But hey who am I to argue, I got to watch us play live on tv in HD!!!!
