And while we're on TV, why was one semi-final on Council TV (free to air) whilst the other was on a channel which in this part of the world at least demands a massive subscription?

Bonus question: were Man U playing in a) the free-to-air match or b) not?

Because BT will pay over the odds to secure anything they can, so the FA agreed to their demand for a bit of exclusivity. Their figures for the final will be tens of thousands v millions on BBC.

In the past both semis and the final were guaranteed as free to air games.

 


Optimistic as ever

Fixture chaos. Presumably everything is late because of the breaks for the Euro friendlies?

Let's hope we don't need the points at the end of the season and end up regretting the mid-week match we didn't turn up at.

Scheduling one of the Cup semi-finals on the day of the London Marathon was another master stroke by those who organise these things!

..an own goal and a fluky shot, hardly thrashed us did they.
