The dates look funny for this, the games are on a Mon, Tue, Weds and Thurs in March or something, all on a different day, all on TV. Am I dreaming this or what?

No midweek this season on account of the season finishing early to allow the national team a month to prepare for the World Cup Finals.

Spot on, all to let the ingurland team get together a week early... though some of them seem hell bent on injuring them selfs so they can finish even earlyier

Bit weird having FA Cup games mid week, bet the tv companies are loving it

They are also no replays. Extra time and penalties on the night if needed.

It'll be a tough game for us. I still can't get over last years defeat. Hopefully we'll finish with all 11 players this time!

Newcastle for the cup. They seem rejuvenated since Roeder and Shearer took over. If it wasn't for Souness they would be pushing for Europe.

poor result last night though! heard they played well though.
think chelsea will be too strong as i think they will be out of Europe at the time and won't rest anyone like they did against colchester on sunday! 2-0 chelsea......

Bizarre:

All four Sixth Round matches and the two replays in the Fifth Round will be broadcast live on television.

Manchester City will take on Aston Villa in the first replay on Tuesday 14 March, live on Sky Sports.

BBC will then show West Ham United's match against Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday 15 March. The winners of these ties will meet in the Sixth Round.

Their match will take place on Monday 20 March, live on BBC at 8.05pm.

Sky Sports will show Birmingham City's clash with Liverpool on Tuesday 21 March at 7.45pm. BBC will then show Chelsea v Newcastle on Wednesday 22 March at 8.05pm and Charlton v Middlesbrough on Thursday 23 March.

This season's Sixth Round matches are being played midweek following an agreement reached last season with the Premier League and Football League.

This is to enable England to have a four-week preparation window ahead of this summer's World Cup in line with other competing countries.
