FA Cup R4 - Fulham (H) - Sun 26/01 - 1:00pm

So when will we know the dates/times of all the ties?

not till end of next week ... tv won’t finalise picks till replays are done and they know exactly who’s playing whom ... although sometimes they do, like in Liverpool’s case whoever plays them they’ll probably pick them for tv but e.g. they don’t know if United would get through or Wolves would and that might impact on their selection ...

Anyone’s guess really, if they want they can get them out today itself or wait around till next thu/fri (yes just a week before the actual 4th rd weekend)

United and the Scousers will definitely be on. Both away.

Nice place to go away... but at home it isn't an amazing draw. It is what it is. C'mon CITY!

I consider Norwich one of the worst aways. Nice little ground but such a mission getting there. I can see why the struggle for away support for games in the north. Its basically a 5 hour drive on shitty little roards where every other car is a tractor.

Common sense would say this should be a Saturday 3pm ko, but no doubt it will be shifted to Sunday 5.30pm or some other fucking ridiculous timing.

Wow, wouldn't Shrewsbury v the scousers make for fascinating TV, 0.0001% chance of any upset happening. Would keep the scouse sheep happy though.

Ipswich fans fuckin' up the Norfolk roads when Norwich are at home!

Liverpool, if they play their kids again, could easily lose.

And on a run through of goals from the weekend, showed the Pope goal but none of ours? All other goals shown were winners or equalisers.

The erasing of MCFC from football history continues unabated.

I thought that they usually pick them in the 2-3 days after the draw.
Replays can affect which ones they choose, obviously.

Obvious picks (to me) are the Liverpool, Leicester and Chelsea matches - all top 6 PL teams away from home at lower league teams.

After that maybe Northampton-Shrek County (formerly known as Frank Lampard's Derby County), maybe us, maybe the winners of the Wolves match (in accordance with the rules that Utd must be shown), and conceivably West Ham-West Brom.
