I'd sooner Kim Jong-un press the red button for this one.

"I also knocked Leicester out when managing Newport, so that is a story

Oh ffs he's going to do it again isn't he? 

[Collymore]

If it's red button will it be on iPlayer to restart the programme when I rock in late?

 

It's a bad time that early KO on a Saturday as it interferes with my son's football, especially if he is playing away....

 

I presume a few people will have that problem if you don't have proper Sky...

[weller54]

Walsall will make Kristensien look like a £17m player.

[StanSP]

Iversen

 

Wormleighton - Soyuncu - Vestergaard - Kristiansen

 

Mendy

 

Maddison - Tielemans/KDH - Barnes

 

Daka - Iheanacho

 

No need to play 2 DMs. Get Maddison fit, and also KDH. Hopefully play Barnes into form. Two up front who can support each other.

 

Faes to play if Vestergaard isn't here.

Guessing Wormleighton can play RB? If not, then maybe Brunt there.

Oh ok cool. Yeah like you said it's not exactly that well advertised! 

 

If you were the BBC and wanted viewers, you wouldn't advertise that fact that Leicester City are on.

 

Everyone will be asleep by 1pm.

[Guest nathan.]

Why are people naming Souttar at CB?

 

Its ****ing annoying.  

[HybridFox]

Should win it but will make it an absolute bore-fest

**signs for Forest**

[Gamble92]

Why was it announced as  12.30 kick off not on TV and now it is? Was the intention to put it on the red button all along? Strange.

Does BR even remember that multiple strikers are possible? 😋

Why not? They are all fantasy teams anyway!

Might as well have Roberto Carlos at LB as pick 2 up front.

The teams folk pick are their wishful thinking and JFF- nothing more.

Hopefully this game will be at Vardys level

I agree, I want to see him go up front Walsh/Elliott style!

[Claudio Fannieri]

Walsall Manager is Michael Flynn, who was the Manager of Newport when they knocked us out the FA Cup in January 2019 ……

[Nalis]

With a few signings, I'd go with something like

 

Courtios

 

Davies

Gvardiol

Van Dijk

James

 

Rodri

Bellingham

 

De Bruyne

 

Mbappe

Haaland

Messi

SKY don't show FA cup games live. Like the world cup,  it is shown on national TV under licensing rules. Living abroad, I know about these things.

In my experience, you'll be able to start the programme from the start (or kick off).

Official line is international broadcasting - it's been common with FA Cup for a while hence we once played Wigan at home in the 3rd Round at 5.30 with no UK television coverage except on Bet 365. 

 

Reading into it alongside the official line - Villa women play on the pitch Sunday and they've moved their game later to get the pitch in good nick/prepare the ground 

[lcfcbluearmy]

Just to be clear I do want us to win this game but am I alone in thinking it wouldn't be that bad if we did lose allowing us to focus on the league without distraction?
