This bugs me so much, you're far from the only person that gets this wrong.

 

Also this surely ends the ridiculous streak of Man Utd FA cup games on tv?

[stokeriño]

Norwich away. Fair enough.

[Baddar]

So United v Derby won't be televised - Liverpool v Everton is on BBC on the Friday night.

Brighton v Palace will be the first televised match to use VAR, as the Merseyside derby was deemed too "high profile" to test it.

[MDK]

Pffft, obviously the big teams get the benefit of VAR

[Adam]

Friday night? Erm okay.

I'm not chuffed that we're trialling VAR at all, I don't think it works very well the way they've put it together so far.

You aren't.

I meant "we" as in "English football" 

[Baddar]

Oh.

Is this a first? When was the last time one of our FA Cup ties wasn't televised?

12 years ago.

[Hobo]

VVD starts for Liverpool!

 

[MDK]

If VVD wants to make himself an instant hero he should either score the winner or two-foot Rooney and get sent off. 

[Kyle]

So, we renaming this derby to the Soft Pen Derby?

[MDK]

HANDBAGS!

Clear dive from Firmino 

[Liam]

I'm interested as to what Firmino said. Holgate wasn't responding until a certain point in that altercation.

Probably nothing. Was just strange.

I lip read PUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at one point

Yeah, I read that as well. Typically, whatever he responded to was blocked by a player in the way.

As I said, probably nothing. Was just strange for him to suddenly blow a top about something.

[Szumi]

Same old story.
