    I note that between them, ITV and ESPN have managed to ensure that Man Utd, Arsenal, and Liverpool are on tv yet again, wouldn't want them to choose a batch of games involving someone other than the so-called big clubs would we?

    If I had Sky Or ESPN I would be over the moon that every televised game involves a premier league club (or is almost certainly going to) because they just aren't on TV enough and as we all know wverybody supports teams in the premier league.

    I see the more 'magical' ties are tucked away on ESPN so no one can watch them. Let's all tune in to watch an all Premiership encounter with probable weakened teams. Never mind the possible Conference/League 2 versus Premiership ones.

    Indeed. I'm sure I've posted this sad little bit of research I did before but for the record:

    The last time they played in an FA Cup match which wasn't available live in the UK was their 1-0 defeat at home to Hereford on 20th November 2007, although even then it was a replay and the first match had been live on Sky Sports 1, 11 days before. Since then their last 12 (TWELVE!!!) FA Cup games have all been available live: 2 on Setanta 1, 1 on ITV4, 1 on ESPN, 1 on the FA web site (the first such streaming "event") and 7 (SEVEN) on ITV1.

    I can never understand it when the TV get excited about an all Premier League third round tie...Man Utd v West Ham has always been a run of the mill game yet because it's the FA Cup the TV are all over it?
