dec666 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Think someone said that ITV haven't missed a Man U fa cup tie since 2005. Shameful. As I said on Wednesday on Twitter, the Fulham FA Cup game will be their 38th consecutive FA Cup tie on TV! It's a disgrace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Aside from maybe the first three in 2007, don't see why any of the others would be overshadowed by others (without seeing the draws). They're arguably the biggest club in the world - so most ties they're involved in automatically become either potential upsets or matches against other big clubs that other people want to see.

The last time they weren't on telly for a cup game was the day we beat City! What a day. Watching Exeter draw at Old Trafford with my family (including my City supporting Uncle) while still pissing off my Exeter-supporting brother by saying that us beating City was the better result. Don't think I'll ever have a better football-related day than that! Edited January 20, 2013 by the_mighty_bosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
