LIVE! Match discussion 2014/15

[Deutsch Wolf]

Poyet is so overrated and his Brighton side weren't even that good.

Just seen his interview on MOTD, the man has gone pure, full on mental. Conspiracy theories galore.

I really dislike him, a genuinely odious person. His comments slagging off the fans for essentially being too thick to understand his brilliant football were a disgrace. People like passing football, they really do. Best it has some kind of aim beyond aimlessly knocking it around near the halfway line though.

Poyet has an arrogance that is only matched by his lack of ability as a manager. With him in charge Sunderland could well be doomed now Villa have seen the light and QPR have lost Redknapp. Leicester, Burnley and Sunderland for the drop?Could well happen

Liverpool vs Blackburn
Bradford vs Reading
Preston/Man Utd vs Arsenal
Aston Villa vs West Brom

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well that is about as good as the draw could come out. Maybe Blackburn at home would have been perfect.

Liverpool vs Blackburn
Bradford vs Reading
Preston/Man Utd vs Arsenal
Aston Villa vs West Brom

I predict all 4 games on TV.....


Bradford or Reading going to Wembley. Sometimes the Cups are ace

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Predictions for BBC taking first pick - they will go for Man United / Preston v Arsenal EVEN if there is a replay, which will make the complete lie of the bollocks article they put out today to explain why they didn't take Bradford in the last round.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think it's a reasonable defence tbf. Bradford vs Fulham would have been a terrible game to televise and there had to be a fair chance of that happening given that Sunderland failed to win the home game and are pretty terrible. Whereas whatever the outcome of tonight's game, the Arsenal quarter final is probably the pick of the games.

i enjoy to see low league clubs against big teams, thats the spirit/meaning of the cup TBH..remember sutton utd when i was younger and there are others

 

[Langers]

I was praying for a Villa v Albion tie. Excellent. That will be feisty.

I don't think there is a lot wrong with the defence, bar the obvious issue that Villa v Leicester was going to be shite, and didn't disappoint in being so.

Which wasn't a live game I don't think. I am pretty sure Wrexham v Arsenal wasn't either, but will happily be corrected by those with better memories than me.

 

[Freddeno]

I saw sutton live in sweden beating norwich i think..no, norwich beat them 8-0 but that was also live..was probably coventry

 

[Kenny]

Coventry probably

Having knocked out Chelsea, I think Bradford City should have been shown live. Whoever they played would it really have looked less attractive than a mundane game between two relegation threatened teams

In terms of viewing numbers a derby game beats the potential of Bradford v Fulham.

Yes

You are probably right, I just think that Bradford City deserved a televised game. And the extra income would have not gone amiss.

Not a lot happening at Deepdale.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Neither Sutton vs Coventry nor Wrexham vs Arsenal were shown live in the UK.

While the BBC and indeed all broadcasters have a remit to feature a decent cross section of teams, they aren't immune to the need to preserve viewing figures. Bradford vs Fulham would have attracted virtually no neutral interest, it would have been a shocking pick. A mid-table League One team vs a poor Championship team on a terrible pitch, roll up. Tough on Bradford I suppose, but that's the way it goes.

I am always shouting for the lower league teams to be shown on TV but can see the reasoning behind BT & BBC's decision (incidently why have Bradford targeted their anger at just the BBC when BT also ignored them)

I guess youre right but as much as i like to see quality i like to see a lesser team fighting and putting 100% effort against a better team..much like wimbledon-liverpool earlier this year..it is another dimension of football
