Precisely that it's Liverpool, fits the narrative that's being spun about Gerrard's last hurrah with the club, which seems to have been bolstered hugely by his two goals last night.

Worth LUMPING on Liverpool being losing finalists right now, based on that narrative.

TV ratings come before looking for a shock...
That's why Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool are shown.
If they are playing a small club the TV companies can dress it up as a possible shock (Yeovil v Man Utd, AFC Wimb v Lpool).
Everyone knows Camb v Man Utd will be taken first by the TV.
Because of our reputation on football style (!) I would have thought we would be ahead of Man City v Mboro or Lpool v Bolton.
Chelsea v Millwall would have been chosen if Millwall did not have the replay as Chelsea v Bradford has no pull whatsoever.
It would also have taken one of the early kick off's.
Every website says games will be played on the weekend of 24th or 25th Jan.
The 2 games against Newcastle were both early kick offs which gives the TV companies time to get their camera's to their game on a Sunday....

Where did you see that?
BBC says 'all games to be played sat 24/sun 25th'
Really don't want Friday evening.

And if we're the Friday evening game, I don't think we will sell out, especially if the prices are standard 'Cat A' prices.

Better than Friday, worse than Saturday.

Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Cambridge v Man U - thats a definite
Liverpool v Bolton - a total snoozefest of a tie, but with the media currently frigging themselves into a frenzy over STEVIE G I suppose its almost inevitable the dullard TV execs will grab this one
Donnie / Bristol C v Everton / West Ham - possible I suppose, but no combination of those particularly leaps out
Chelsea v Bradford / Millwall - not a chance, no matter who goes through it'd be a massacre. Maybe if Chelsea were away, but at the Bridge Chelsea are all but unbeatable, it'd be a total cakewalk and about as interesting a spectacle as an Eastenders omnibus.
