    I assume we're on TV again. Hopefully on BT so I don't have to listen to Adrian Chiles!

    If it is televised it will be on BT as ITV are showing Man City v Chelsea on the Saturday evening.

    Has to be bordering on an unfair unvantage to Sunderland? They've got a home draw and now this kick off time will limit the amount of away fans able to go?

    If Saints don't offer subsidised travel to our fans they are ****ing idiotic.

    Cortese wouldn't, but perhaps Katharina....

    Amazed if it is on tv...I wouldn't even have picked it.

    Why? It finished 2-2 last time and apart from the two big ties, there isn't really much else to choose that stands out.

    God only knows who has the power at the club to make these sort of decisions, even when Cortese was here.

    Ticket office manager? Commercial Manager? Fan liasion officer (apparently we have one, all Prem clubs have to, but no one knows who is it).

    Surely has to be a no-brainer to get as many fans as possible to the game, as it will help the team, help the club. Can't even believe for one moment the club makes much out of away coaches anyway.

    Well lets see if anyone at SMS has a brain.

    TV companies like to pick the games that people want to see...so that will be the 2 obvious games. Or alternatively pick a match with a small club and hope for a giant killing. Our game is just two PL teams...unless we have impressed with our magnificence :)

    They must want to get in on Southampton's march to the arch relatively early... ;)

    Would normally rather see a lower division team on live but no complaints this time!
