I know they think that they will get a giant killing but choosing matches like Citeh v Fulham where it's effectively all,over after seven minutes is just daft.
I would not be surprised that the Beeb are getting a fat wedge from the Middle East and Asia to show it - massive fan base in those 2 regions
The team that wins the league or Champions league is considered the most watchable side to neutrals. Man city and Liverpool live is not a real shock it has been Man united for decades and weirdly Spurs that BBC like to broadcast. I'm hoping we get Pompey Sheffield Wednesday or Tranmere next round we play all the big sides every week and I don't remember us having a proper F.A cup run in my lifetime
I don't think the BBC will own the rights to those games and the F.A can sell them to multiple global media outlets. The number of live football matches played by men on the BBC is embarrassing now. A handful of FA cup ties and the final.
