City on the telly? (again) (3 Viewers)

[The CableGuy]

Man Utd v Newcastle
Man City v Aston Villa
MK Dons v Sunderland
West Brom v Liverpool
Crawley v Swansea
QPR v Reading
Norwich v Doncaster
Bradford v Burton
Preston v Middlesbrough
Arsenal v Coventry
Southampton v Sheff Wed
Chelsea v Wolves
Carlisle v Tottenham
Swindon v Burnley
West Ham v Wigan
Leeds v Everton

TV companies love the big club vs little club games, so, there's a chance I guess (even more so if City were at home).

No chance as this cup is BBC now and they hate us! The FL show on Saturday night always had us on last in the Championship, I assumed that was partly because of all the Leicester contingent, but now in L1 we were still last game!

 

[neilyboy67]

bloody well hope not cos im making plans for the arse

 

[the_ferret]

don't want this televised, and looking at the fixtures it won't be.

 

[pusbccfc]

They look for big club v big club, ie United V Newcastle

 

[TheRoyalScam]

Surely it's got to be Bradford v Burton - a nailed on TV moneyspinner.

Exclusive to Sky I believe:

"Capital One Cup - Exclusive live coverage of the League Cup, including the Capital One Cup Final live from Wembley"

I'm sure that will be picked, but that's one of many all-Premier League games in this draw which Sky could show anyway as part of their PL coverage.

 

[rob9872]

Maybe then - I know BBC have the highlights instead of ITV this year (on in a few mins on one all the games from this week)

The fls running order is based on the position of the highest placed of the 2 teams.

No it's not, we were on 2nd on the first show after our 1-1 at Yeovil, putting us in 9th position

 

[Otis]

If we had been at home, then yes we would have been in with a chance, but Arsenal away? No chance at all I'm afraid.

Loads of ties there that will be way ahead of us in the pecking order.

Man Utd v Newcastle

MK Dons v Sunderland

West Brom v Liverpool

Crawley v Swansea

Carlisle v Tottenham

Leeds v Everton

 

[skybluelee]

Ha ha ha dont be so ridiculous. Not in a million years will this be on. It would be if it was at the ricoh but not at the emirates.

 

[MusicDating]

Even when we played at Villa in the FA Cup 5th round in '98 we weren't on live.

It's all about viewing figures I'm afraid...

 

[Steve.B50]

Who cares about the TV, all I want is a ticket.

I want more than you.

I want a ticket and a win

 

[Otis]

I want it now. I want an Oompa Loompa. I want an Oompa Loompa and pink candy boat!

I want a party with room fulls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!


Don't care how
I want it now
Don't care how
I want it now!!!!!!!!!!

No chance City will be on. Leeds v Everton, Saints v Sheff Wed, Crawley v Swansea and even MK Dons v Sunderland will be ahead of Cov. Arsenal are hardly the flavour of the month.

 

[Astute]

Or could be our game if we go on a good run. They love to put games on where there could be lots of goals and the chance of an upset.

I don't think loads of goals is associated with the arse-nil at the moment is it?!

Did I say which way the goals will go?

They will play their youth against a team two divisions lower and at home. We have a decent chance of winning this. There is also a decent chance of us getting hammered.

To be fair i would say alot of the time us being on towards the end was to do with us being down towards the bottom of the league. if we are looking at it objectively thats pretty much fair enough.

As for this game being on the telly,I would say its very unlikely. you would think the TV bosses are looking for potential shocks first, so lower league teams at home against premier league clubs (MK Dons v Sunderland /Crawley vs Swansea / Carlisle vs Spurs / Leeds vs Everton) i would also say Man United vs Newcastle would be above us in the pecking order too. Then theres enough all premier league games which they will probably be tempted with. I just dont think us away at Arsenal constitutes a big enough shock threat. if we were at home, maybe........

 

[Astute]

.....or on a winning streak.....we have just won against a team above us..... They rarely choose the games you think they will. Also depends on who plays on Tues and who plays on Weds
