FA Cup fifth-round picks - an update
Thanks for all your feedback about the FA Cup fifth round draw.
There's a fair amount of agreement that the four best ties of the round are Preston v Man City, Fulham v Spurs, Arsenal/Bolton v Blackburn and Man U v Reading.
We'd have liked Preston to be our 5.15 Saturday game - but, as Roger Mosey mentioned in one of his earlier postings, we always have to take police advice. In this case, Lancashire police have requested a lunchtime kick-off.
So given that Sky have chosen Fulham v Spurs, the schedule now looks like this:
Saturday 17 February
Manchester United v Reading (5.15 GMT) - Live on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One
Arsenal or Bolton Wanderers v Blackburn Rovers (12.15) - Live on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One
Sunday 18 February
Preston North End v Manchester City (1.10) - Live on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One
Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur (4.00) - Live on Sky
