The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
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.

jaysus!!
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!

good draw for liverpool IMO. game of the round probably chelsea-newcastle. but if Man. city play west ham, that could be better!
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......
Think you'll find your wrong on that score replays are penciled in for April 12th well according to the FA!!!!!
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.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
gonna be weird with an fa cup tie on a monday and thursday!
