BT Sport will have one as well. I presume they will go with Man Utd v Cambridge.

Thank you. Whatever the result at Old Trafford, Cambridge will have made a bob or two out of their cup run.

2 x TV money
1 x Full house at home
40% of the receipts from Old Trafford (it is 40% isn't it?)
Increased advertising revenue
Prize money for getting to the 4th Round

Yeah, should have made enough to keep the club ticking over for bit.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

And a possible 5th round tie, though that is highly unlikely.

Yep,going to fix the toilet situation at the stadium says chairman Doggett,and maybe some paint here and there.

"Fabian Delph says he wants to take Aston Villa to the Champions League after signing new deal"

Presume he has got this with his signing on fee

 

[Sniffer]

The attitude of Delph in signing a new contract with Villa should be applauded. In wanting to play every week and repaying the club for sticking with him through injuries etc is quite refreshing given the amount of other talented young players who have ended up rotting in the reserves of the big clubs.

A sad day for the Mongs of this world who have nothing better to do that stand behind a Sky reporter with a lost and gormless look on their faces

Sky Sports will NOT be doing live broadcasts with fans around from outside the grounds on transfer deadline day. Instead they will either pre-record reports or do them from inside the clubs. This, presumably is in a bid to stop their reporters from having giant rubber penises jammed in faces.

Not good news for Stoke - Bojan has suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Real bad luck for him too, looked like he was coming into some decent form after a few wasted years.

[Sniffer]

Its a disgrace that the Bradford game isn't on. What a surprise that the BBC has plumped for Manchester United again!

I once got involved in a debate with a BBC journalist who after stating that it was at the time BBC policy to show a non league side at home where the was the chance of an upset, then chose to show B****n A****n away at Manchester United as the live game. Tamworth and Nuneaton had both earned replays against league opposition (Stoke and I think Middlesbrough) but were denied the riches that a live game would have given them.

The Abu Dhabi Bernabeu?

What a crock of shit.

A two game ban for Cristiano Ronaldo.Not enough imo.

Luis Figo to stand for FIFA presidency.

I think Blatter expected to get in unopposed. Now some-one like Figo has threw his hat into the ring, Blatter may not be quite so confident.

 

[darlowolf64]

It will be a "divide and conquer" strategy by Blatter. He will of persuaded a few people to stand so that the person with the real chance of beating him has his vote diluted...Blatter can rely on a block vote from Africa and he is 50% of the way to getting all the votes he needs.

 

[Langers]

Blatter will get in again. Be any means necessary, but he'll be re-elected.

Hope I'm wrong though.
