So how many of the 32 ties are actually kicking off at 3pm on that day? The answer is 10! Is this a record? 6 of them have moved so as to be shown on live UK TV. Some of them have been moved presumably for police/security reasons e.g. Man City playing at home on the Sunday so as not to play at home on the same day as Man U. But there are a huge number where the date or kick off time seems to have been moved for no good reason, except I ah told that QPR v Leeds and Burnley v Barnsley have been moved for "overseas TV reasons". The buffoons at the FA - who must have agreed to all this when they signed TV deals - really are doing the best to ruin a competition that they keep trying to big up.
