Televised cup games

[wayne allisons tongues]

I can kind of understand Leicester Liverpool being shown tonight. But why are they showing Man Utd Burton Wednesday, it is after all the Football league cup so show some league sides instead of lining premier teams pockets even more.

Guaranteed viewing figures. All those Man U 'fans' who couldn't find Old Trafford with a sat nav.

So you're okay with the game containing no Football League teams being shown, but object to the game with a Football League team in it...

I said I can kind of understand why, it is 2 premier league sides. But Man Utd at home why, because its Man Utd, happens all the time in the FA Cup.  

 

I would prefer 2 ties with Football league sides involved as I said it's the Football League cup. Just the same teams all the time.

Man Utd is obvious, aren't they up to over 40 consecutive FA cup matches on tv now?

That's the plan, just don't say it too loudly...

I'd think that after dumping two Premiership teams already, if we get drawn against a 3rd, there's a good chance it will be picked for a tv game...
