Don’t think they do replays?

If they did it’s more their type of game rather than the Westcountry Derby that BT has chosen.

Just feel that we used up about a lifetime’s worth of FA Cup Karma when we drew Man Utd. Even when we finally bothered the 3rd round again it was against a bunch of Liverpool kids who have

What don't BT find the prospect of Oxford Utd V either Hartlepool or Exeter attractive to show on Nationawide telly, you do surprise me (particularly as they are showing the gas replay)

There was a Man Utd FACup tie in the last couple of years that *wasn’t* televised live, the first one since our visit to old Trafford in 2005...

Alexander-Arnold didn’t play in either of the games against us...
