Which 5 games do you think will be televised?

[Albion_Dave]

2, 4, 10, 11 & 12.

 

[Gwylan]

We should start a campaign! "NAME THE EIGHT"

There are now 14 of them - what the hell have they been smoking?

 

[Bold Seagull]

For some idiot at the BBC to choose Arsenal v Hull then it's any-ones guess. What do they look for? Two prem teams, possible giant killing, biggest audience tuning in?

Repeat of last years final. Ready made narrative.

Balls, clicked Saints/Ipswich vs Palace in the poll instead of Cambridge vs United

Cambridge United v Manchester United

Chelsea v Millwall or Bradford City

Birmingham City v West Bromwich Albion

Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal

Manchester City v Middlesbrough

It was a repeat of the most recent final, an obvious choice I would have thought.

2 , 4 , 10 , 12 , 16

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Can't see beyond them wanting to take the opportunity to televise :

Arsenal
Man Utd
Liverpool
Man City
Chelsea

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Cambridge vs Utd will be very very Dull

 

[SurreySeagulls]

I think they choose Arsenal v Hull because they realised that Mr Bullard would look like a failed porn actor with only one button done up

 

[DTES]

Cambridge Utd v Manchester Utd - I think this is a given
Chelsea v Millwall/Bradford - BBC will take it as they don't get many days out at the league leaders, plus there's the chance of Premier League v League One
Aston Villa v Bournemouth - Best chance for an "upset".
Liverpool v Bolton - Every chance to televise Steven Gerrard between now and May will be taken. They'll probably sign up for the MLS so they can keep showing him next year too...
Doncaster/Bristol C v Everton/West Ham - Any combination is League One v Premier League

I think we'll be passed over for this - thankfully.

Yeovil v United was quite good.

 

[SAC]

Aston Villa v AFC Bournemouth
Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal
Cambridge United v Manchester United
Chelsea v Millwall or Bradford City
Rochdale v Stoke City or Birmingham City v West Bromwich Albion

 

[Tricky Dicky]

United undoubtedly, after that I think there's a very good chance we'll be one, they'll see it as a reasonable chance for an upset (or an Arsenal win as I call it)

 

[Ernest]

Cardiff v Reading is 100% CERTAINTY

 

[Bozza]

Cardiff v Reading is 100% CERTAINTY

We're talking mainstream channels not the noddy Welsh stuff.

 

[fleet]

3 people think Cardiff VReading - well I guess they may be right, but .....

 

[Easy 10]

Disagree.

OK Man U will almost certainly win at a canter, but theres always the chance of them at least making hard work of it, and I always enjoy seeing a PL club slumming it at a tiny lower league ground thats absolutely packed to the rafters. As the old cliché goes, its what the Cup is all about. There's proper novelty value to fixtures like this. Christ, its got to be better than the stupifying "spectacle" of two sets of half-arsed PL reserves going through the motions against each other.

I think the best games (personally) are the games with a chance of an actual upset - Rochadale v Forest, Southampton V Ipswich etc.

I still have no idea why the Palace game was on
