It doesn't look good for internet stream. Here are the links I check:
http://www.asiaplate.com/live.today.htm
http://www.football4less.com/schedules/schedules_06012007.html
http://www.myp2p.eu/Saturday.htm
The only thing I can add is to echo some of the pages... keep looking for updates, even past start time, as occasionally you'll see a link added late on.
Thanks I guess I will have to keep checking but the audio stream should be on since it's at the Majeski.

Anyone want to start the thread for tomorrow's game? Surprisingly, it will be available to watch on a lot of streams.

I'm watching a draw update thing now on the FA site. It could just be the most boring thing ever. Hopefully it starts soon, I can't stand to watch the little numbered balls rolling across the screen any longer.
Come on Plymouth or PNE. Ipswich will be fine.

Crap. Man United, away.
glory awaits. You know, for Federici, Sodje, de la cruz....
So, who will sit more starters?
Given Coppell's nature, he'd play the reserve side in the final, so I'm guessing ManU will look more like ManU than Reading will Reading.
As noted, I'm not disagreeing with the man/god. just saying...

It will be interesting to see what kind of lineup Coppell puts out for this one. We have 3 bottom half table teams before that. If we get to 40 pts before the match do you think Coppell will put out a full side and go for the win, or will he continue to use the cup matches as reserve trials and injury training? If he continues to put out lesser sides I think the run is over.

If we have the points to stay up in hand (and mathmatically guaranteed, not simply probably up) he might play the second side in the league match and full side in the Cup. Pretty big might, though. In fact, if we have any more injuries, i woudln't be surprised to Kingsly start up top.

I thought he was out with a broken foot after Longs goal celebration a few weeks ago. :D

I'd bet dollar to donuts (mschofield, I'm calling you out:)) that Coppell puts out a side that looks almost exactly like the one that played Birmingham, given the first team stays healthy and in form. First and foremost, it's all about keeping a small, tight-knit squad happy and sharp. I think it's a tough draw, but a really exciting one for the players that didn't get to play Man U in the prem this season. And who is more motivated to win than the players that don't get to play if they lose? Second, it's a pretty strong side. Build up to all 3 goals on Saturday was really nice football. The defence will need to step it up and play basically error free, but that's a challenge they should be relishing.

How funny is it. Before we reached the top division how we longed for cup draws like this. Liverpool away and Man Utd away in the same season!! Well now that we are in the Premiership its nothing special.

That is a really good point. It's kind of like how a lot of the players were real excited last year to get to play at Highbury in the Carling Cup. All of the guys who grew up Arsenal supporters played, when under normal circumstances they probably wouldn't have. They'll all be playing their asses off. That doesn't mean we'll win (as we didn't against Arsenal), but it will make them happy and will be a good experience.

I agree. We're in it to win it and all that. I think i'm too focused on finishing well in the season (and, lets be honest, my 20 on top 14 is looking like more than a flier right now), but the cup is glory. And no one yet has been too much for us (okay, arsenal, but we're not playing them, are we?)
