When do they announce the TV games for Round 4?

[Thrilla]

Poor Swansea, gotta feel for them and Gorka.

[Thrilla]

Cambridge/Manchester United is the obvious game for the Beeb to choose. Chelsea/Millwall is a possibility, depends how brave they're feeling.

[Baddar]

Might have to show Chelsea-Millwall after the watershed.

[Dynamite]

Brighton vs. Arsenal will most likely be on TV too.

[Thrilla]

I was thinking that, Brighton aren't in great form at the minute though. There aren't many other interesting ties though, Spurs/Leicester might end up on TV just because its a Premiership clash.

[Baddar]

Got the Everton-West Ham game on the BT Sport App through my tablet. It's so much better than their web player, which is like watching a dodgy stream most of the time.

EDIT: Ian Darke and Michael Owen constantly referring to Mirallas as "Morales" is a tad annoying.

[Baddar]

Finished 1-1 after Lukaku equalised in injury time. Been calling the 1-1 draw all day. Of course I didn't have a bet on it though.

[Dynamite]

The games to be on TV have been announced:

Friday 23 January

Cambridge United v Manchester United – 7.55pm – BBC One

Saturday 24 January

Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City - 12.45pm - BBC Wales

Liverpool v Bolton Wanderers – 5.30pm – BT Sport

Sunday 25 January

Doncaster Rovers or Bristol City v Everton or West Ham United – 2pm – BBC One

Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal – 4pm – BT Sport

Monday 26 January

Rochdale v Stoke City – 8pm – BT Sport

All of them are Premier League vs. lower league which is good to see. Having Everton vs. West Ham and Arsenal vs. Hull on seemed a bit pointless when they play each other twice a year anyway. Nobody was brave enough to try a potential Chelsea-Millwall game though.

Should be able to field a strong side, considering the 8 day break between that and the Leicester game.

[Thrilla]

Gorka's humilation shown live on TV, how sad for him...

[Adam]

Aaaand we'll be on tele..mit is all lined up for another "came so close to the big tie but lost the replay" scenario.

[Baddar]

West Ham XI: Adrian, Cresswell, Tomkins, Collins, Jenkinson, Song, Noble, Downing, Jarvis, Valencia, Carroll.

Everton XI: Robles, Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman, Barry, Besic, Barkley, Naismith, McGeady, Lukaku.

It's live on BT Sport 1 again. Should be another tight game.

[Baddar]

West Ham are wearing their third shirt tonight ...for some reason.

[Liam]

Justification to sell three different shirts to gullible fans.

[stokeriño]

I'm astonished our crappy third kit hasn't come out more in the cups, tbh.

[Baddar]

Go for a shower, miss a goal and a red card. Standard.

[brenchill]

Big Sam played some serious FM mind games in the press conference.

[Baddar]

Missed that too. :/

EDIT: Nice free kick from Mirallas, but Adrian shouldn't have been that far away from it.

[Baddar]

West Ham and Everton are heading to extra time.

About 10mins before the end, the ref awarded West Ham a free-kick on the edge of the box for a handball from Stones. It was a harsh call, but the "handball" was inside the box and should have been given as a penalty.
