Nope live on ESPN+ in the US 7 am West Coast and 4 am East Coast I think.

It would be 10am East Coast wouldn't it?

It's worth repeating that it's not about resting them, it's about avoiding risking injuries to key players.

They could just as easily get injured in training? I wouldn’t play our best side as it’s good to give others minutes but we should be putting out a strong 11 winning breads more winning! The longer the run goes on the better!

A bit uncanny that the 40th anniversary of a particular 4th round victory falls on exactly the same date as this year's 4th round for us.

Shall I....?

....oh, go on then

 

Now that’s what you call limbs!

Wonder why Russ isn’t taking the presser?

Isn't this the sort of thing Poch used to do, give his assistants a go, another why of highlighting lack of priority of this game

Probably an attempt at sending a psychological message to our Championship rivals that we're going balls out for auto-promotion and that the FA Cup is therefore a side show. Either that or Russ has a dental appointment he can't get out of :)

Stevie Moran showing Alan Biley how it's done, the pitch looked like a wet sponge that afternoon.

I think we'll nick this one 2-1 Saints.

As we’re edging towards 90mins this weekend, I can see no harm in a little nostalgia in recognition of 40 years…

Think there’s a chance Emanuel Denis will get a start for Watford. * link below. Was recalled by forest ( he was in turkey) and been sent to Watford on Loan today. He was a pretty tasty left winger/forward in conjunction with ismail sarr 2 years ago. Think KWPmight enjoy that challenge / or JS at RB less so.😄

Didn’t realise there were so many all-prem ties til just now. Not the priority but a decent chance of a run. 
 

Worst case is 10 Prem sides left in. Arsenal already out and either City/Spurs and Chelsea/Villa

He's very likely to start according to the Watford fan I work with. 

One of those players who can tear a team apart if he's interested on the day which I expect he will be.

Before the Liverpool televised game I think, load of nonsense. TV dictates football to much these days.

I remember our run back in 2003 - the draw for each round was made on a Monday lunchtime, they used to allow us to stick the TV on in the college library to watch it.  Those were the simpler days.

Proper disregard for those currently playing or still to play. But TV takes priority.

They devalue their own competition so often, crazy.

Fucking ridiculous how it compromises the integrity of matches being played after the draw.

You can only speculate on how it affects the approach both on and off the pitch. Easy tie at home/attractive home tie - go for it, worth making it to the next round.

Imagine the thinking from squad and fans: Newcastle (too far)/City/Arsenal away (well, we’ve no chance there). Nah, bollocks why bother. 
 

Isn’t 5th round midweek?

I'm torn on this one.

Watford are obviously a step above Walsall, so too many changes and we risk the unbeaten streak in all competitions, but we also have to give the fringe players minutes.

I'd give it a halfway house. 6 Changes. with the ability to bring on regulars at halftime / 60minutes

                   Lumley

KWP Bednarek Stephens Manning

Charles      Rothwell      Smallbone

       SAA      Mara     Fraser 

Bednarek and Stephens together in a CB pairing will lose the game.

Am I right in thinking this isn't on any TV channel --- and because it's Cup not league, the club can't offer live coverage for a tenner? So it's dodgy stream, if available, or nothing?

I thought it was moved for international TV so there will be streams.

It is on SaintsPlay so someone somewhere will be streaming it

Where?  I’ve looked and cannot see it.  I’ve obviously missed it but cannot see where.

Thnx for your reply, Waylander; I’ll look again on Sunday.

I think we will lose this game, but keep the unbeaten run going. Is our run still the best run even just in the league. I presume it is?

Pretty sure it's all competitions

Is there a professional sports team currently with a longer unbeaten run? I'm in a bar where they flashed up Edmonton Oilers 16 game win streak, I gave it the obligatory yawn, but hence the❓

I’m pretty sure Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten all season, including in the Europa league. Must be getting on for 30 games.

It's audio only, no video because it crosses the 3pm threshold black-out.

26 at the moment (they lost their last games last season, so only this season counts) 18 league, 6 Europa, 2 Cup)

Then why would the club, knowing my address, send me this?

Good question as I received it too. I checked and only audio pass is available. I think there is an explanation in t&C's.
