FA Cup 2014/15

Brighton vs Arsenal
Cambridge Utd vs Man Utd
Emirates Marketing Project vs Middlesboro
AFC Wimbledon/Liverpool vs Bolton
 
The FA Cup is in danger of going an entire season without a lead sponsor after it emerged that a potential backer had pulled out of putting its name to the competition.

Telegraph Sport has learnt that the Football Association failed to secure a frontline partner for the world’s biggest domestic cup in time for its all-important third-round stage despite having had one lined up towards the end of last year.

It was not clear last night why talks had broken down with the unnamed company, although it is understood that the FA had been determined in October to extract the maximum possible value from any deal, having previously netted around £8 million a year from Budweiser.

Stuart Turner, the FA commercial director, was said last night to have been confident of concluding negotiations as recently as last month but may now be forced to write off the 2014-15 competition completely unless a backer can be found who would be happy to sponsor just five rounds of the Cup.

Excellent news.
 
This has been rather boring, both most teams are set up so defensively these days it requires a mistake or a set piece to get goals.
 
Cambridge v Man United picked for TV coverage.....Friday night 19.55pm. Luckily for the United fans its only a short trip UP the M11 :lol:

All the TV selections made, if we progress looks like it will be a Saturday 3pm kick-off
