    Sam and Stan were talking about next weekend's FA Cup coverage during tonight's late game, stating that talkSPORT will be doing five commentaries (the five that are on live television) with them also making a note of how there will be an Around the Grounds programme at 3pm next Saturday. They mentioned that among the games taking place at those times, Mike Bovill would be at Southampton v Chelsea (I guess they might have only mentioned this because he was there pitchside reporter tonight, as I doubt that will be their main featured game at 3pm).

    I'm half expecting talkSPORT to do something broadly similar to what Radio 5 Live typically do on FA Cup Third and Fourth Round Saturdays, albeit in more of a flexible and fast-paced style, in that they may send a number of potential commentary pairings to a few of the possible upsets and spend extended spells at certain games depending on where the shocks are. I also expect Sam and Stan to commentate on West Ham v Manchester United in the late game, simply because of their regularity in the 5.30pm timeslot and how Stan presents Call Collymore between 7.30-9pm on Saturdays.

    As for talkSPORT Live, at present the five televised FA Cup Third Round games are listed as being commentaries but nothing else is. I am expecting them to do a number of 3pm fixtures on Third Round Saturday but this will depend on how many/which ones are shown live by the television world feed (which will be why they didn't broadcast commentary on the Norwich v Aston Villa League Cup Quarter-Final). This will most probably be the same on Fourth Round Saturday before they do commentary on every game from the Fifth Round onwards. And all of their FA Cup commentaries should be available to those with talkSPORT.com accounts in the UK as their commentary on the Community Shield was.

    I'm expecting TS Live to do some games in addition to those where there is a TV world feed, by actually sending commentators to the grounds (at least those with Premier League involvement).

    Is that just your gut feeling or have you heard something suggesting that this might happen? Readers of the Football Commentators thread in the Broadcasting section will know you are well connected in sports media.

    What you have suggested is something that would be very plausible, given that the broadcast areas of Premier League press boxes would be emptier than usual for such matches than they would be for league games; albeit to the outsider it would seem funny to hear talkSPORT Live covering this kind of game on-site while producing the majority of their commentaries from a studio.

    Ideally I think talkSPORT Live should provide commentary on every game from the Fourth Round (last 32) onwards, including the 8-10 games from that round which will take place on the Saturday at 3pm.

    Seasons greetings everyone.

    Does anyone have details for Sports Extra yesterday? They had commentary of Hull v Leeds and Forest v Palace I believe, be interested to know if they used their own teams or just took local coverage.

    I expect it to be Nigel Pearson and Ray Parlour on the 17:30 game with Jason Cundy on Call Collymore.
