I always love the 3rd round of the FA Cup weekend, the giant-killing and all that, but for the life of me I cannot see one game on TV for Saturday. Is there no interest out there, especially considering all these games?

It's fucking horrendous tho. Truly awful football. No amount of booze is helping.

Don't do ESPN. Looks a gash game though.

1323: Like just about everything else in this half, it comes to nothing and that is half-time. Pretty forgettable stuff, but we're only warming up. There's another 45 minutes for amends to be made before it really gets crazy at 1500 GMT.

They're showing the ESPN feed on LOF.

evans-blake is terrible at finishing

FFS This is an awful game

This afternoon I shall be mainly supporting FLEETWOOD. Anyone with a manager called Micky Mellon gets my vote.

ESPN is free til February isnt it?

It is on Virgin anyway

Is the newcastle - blackburn game on TV? I can't seem to find it anywhere and you'd think it'd be the one they'd highlight

There's always been a gap but the gap seems wider for every campaign.
I doubt there will be any giant killing this afternoon. Macc is the best bet atm. They're actually at level with Notlob. Macc's been the better team so far.
Swindon have looked lively vs Pie but a penalty conversion for Wigan may damper Swindon a bit.
Di Canio is wearing a scarf ala Bob. Them italians..

Not on Sky mate, I ain't a Virgin subsciber.

Fleetwood could well have a goal in them, Vardy is looking useful (for their level). They're a goal down at halftime though.

Swindon have had a good go at wigan, and at half it's all tied up 1-1

Vardy got the goal he deserved, Fleetwood are 1-3 behind at the moment though.

Swindon take the lead on a wicked deflection 2-1 !

Wow bristol's pitch is among the worst I've ever seen. Ireland is playing well again, although TBF bristol is a defensive shambles.
