One of the Manchester games will move. No way GMP signs off on having both on simultaneously. They don’t have the resources for that

Liverpool vs Everton the big game of the draw - assuming BBC get he first pick, I can assume it will either be a Sunday or Monday night televised game? I have noticed the BBC especially picking more leftfield choices recently for televised games. I suspect the police may want the Liverpool v Everton game (and Brighton v Palace) played at lunchtime. |

They don’t have the resources for that Yeah that will definitely happen, I can't think of there ever being a time when matches have been held at Old Trafford & Etihad or Maine Road stadium at the same time. This means that Man United's match will be played on Friday or Sunday as it's a more eye catching tie than Man City vs Burnley. |

While I think Man Utd will end up on TV, just because it gets moved, it does not mean it will be at TV. I'm pretty sure because of policing reasons no clubs who share the same police resource are ever at home on the same day. I would imagine in any case if the game is shown, it will be by BT. |

Yes, before FA Cup ties were shown live, matches were often moved to avoid clubs like Man U / Man C or Everton / Liverpool playing at home at the same time. In the days when the semi-finals were held at club grounds a league match might also be moved if, for example, a semi-final was at Old Trafford on a day when Man C were at home.

Hoping that it is the football remembered not anything else.
The police wouldn't want a replay for Brighton v Palace then. |

Man United vs Derby is confirmed to be next Friday at 8 PM. It's a shame that it's not going to be shown on BBC but it is understandable as the Merseyside derby is the tie of the round.

Another in form championship team Derby under Rowett who again is showing how ridiculous it was for Birmingham to get rid of him and put Zola in charge last year.

Well done Coventry, Peterborough, Notts County, Yeovil and MK Dons who beat teams in leagues about them and a few well earned replays too.

Didn't actually realise this is the first time in 67 years that no non league teams were involved in the third round!!

Wonder what Bobby said to offend Holgate so much?? Apparently he called him something racist, although I highly doubt that judging by the reactions of all the players and the referee and the reaction after the game. Basically from what I have read he called him a crazy motherf***er in Portuguese. I still can't believe Holgate did not even get booked for the initial incident. |

Wow, first time ever in Wenger's reign that Arsenal have been knocked out in the third round. A real spirited performance from Nottingham Forest there.

They basically threw the game with the team selection, I don't suppose Wenger is that bothered really. He has the League Cup game midweek as well to think about, it is ridiculous to be playing 3 games in a short space of time. |
