Chelsea away if we can beat Peterborough in our replay. Would love that, still have fond memories of our League Cup tie there when Ranieri was Chelsea manager. Roman had just bought Chelsea back then in 2003

Seeing Sutton Utd in the third round gives me the cold sweats.

It maybe against FA Cup principles but I always think that PL teams should be seeded for the 3rd round to avoid each other or perhaps join in the 4th round instead.

They already get a bye to the third round! How much more of an advantage do they really need? In the fourth round there are only 32 teams, if Prem teams didn't join until then - only 12 other teams in the whole of the country would have a chance of getting anywhere! It's fine as it is.

What Barbeler said (although I don't know if it's because they also support Peterborough).

It was a very uninspiring draw.

What time and channel was this on? I set it to record on BBC2 as it was listed but it wasn't on.

When Millwall V Bournemouth and Bolton V Crystal Palace are two of three most attractive looking ties, it isn't one to look forward to, although a couple of shocks recently have had P.L sides at home.

I can't see either of those two matches being on TV unfortunately

Man Utd will be on obviously and for all rounds. Arsenal will probably be the second pick and Man City V West Ham the third, so on different channels.

Hard to predict the two others, they will probably go with Everton V Leicester and one of Chelsea or Liverpool.

I was almost right, although six games are on. Good guess from the OP to go for Leeds.

But the Liverpool and Tottenham games are dreadful choiices. Any of the Norwich, Millwall, Everton or Bolton matches look much more watchable.

But there are 31 ties which look more appealing than Man Utd V Reading which has a 1-0 written all over it.

Does anybody know when was the last FA Cup match that Manchester United played in, that was not shown live on TV?

3rd Round in 2005 at home to Exeter when they drew 0-0. The replay was then shown live and so has every United game since then.

The Reading fixture will make it 55 games in a row on TV in this competition.

Broadcasters need as many viewers as possible.

United pull in the most viewers.

It's a no-brainer. The same would happen with the Premier League, if it was up to the broadcasters.

Basically it is just called commonsense, we are the biggest club, and are the current holders, so no way were we not going to be on the TV once again.

Plus you have the added angle of the return of a former much loved player in the away dug-out.

With the likes of United and Liverpool you have the biggest supporter bases in the country, plus the countless others who can't stand one or both of them and will tune in in the hope they get beat.

You only have to look at some of the threads on here for evidence of that.

Yeah it is the mass appeal that we bring to the TV companies, and that is what they are interested in, how to get the most bang for their buck (or pound).
