All ties to be played 4th or 5th January ... all that's needed now is for ITV and ESPN (BT Sports) to take their picks for the games ... I think at this stage there's be three games (or maybe just two) on TV so one of them will be on the 4th and one on the 5th. So far Arsenal v Spurs looks like the first tv pick so perhaps that goes on Sunday slot and maybe Scum v Swansea as that has a potential upset written all over it and if TV companies want to cash in on whatever remaining popularity left of the rags, they might as well use it all now as by the looks of it in 2-3 years they wouldn't get viewership nos. showing them lot on TV ... and third game might be some other championship v championship team rather than our kind of game which they know we *should* be winning even with second stringers ...

The FA cup does have overseas coverage but again not for every single game (certainly more than the earlier rounds of the League Cup) but it's a chance thing if an overseas broadcaster picks up our game only then will we have rivers for this one ... overseas broadcasters (Al Jazeera etc.) also generally pick up the same top picks ITV and ESPN pick and then there is an odd game or two extra that they have ...

Blackburns a shithole. I went when we beat them 1-0 in the league in 2011.

Arse v spuds is live on ITV at 5.15 on the Saturday.

No further announcements on the other tv fixtures yet.

Early (12:45pm) kick-off for Blackburn vs. City on Saturday 4 January, because BT Sports have selected it as one of their televised FA Cup games.

Think we'll be able to put bets on which Blackburn player gets sent off?

Have to try and drag myself to this game! Always did Blackburn away.
