Anyone know which Channel I can watch the A Villa v Man Utd Match?

It kicks off 12.30pm Sunday. But its not on BBC or $ky.

Thanks

Don't think its being shown anywhere, they probably expect United to beat us easily, which is not unlikely, and since I can't see us winning the FA cup it might not be a bad thing to get knocked out early and concentrate on the league and Carling cup

Then it should have been played on Saturday so we be rested for the Tuesday night match.

Its a bit of a joke. Play the game on Saturday and give everybody a rest or at least show the game. BBC are showing Liverpool ang Yeovil. Yipee I just can't wait to see that pile of crap. I hope yeovil play attacking football!!

The Cat n'Cage Pub in Drumcondra should show it....

I'd say it's very unlikely that Utd will beat Villa easily. They've had a good run of 4 wins and a draw since losing to Utd, Villa will be well up for it. It should be a good game, BBC should have taken it. Although Yeovil will probably let the cameras in for £100 v Liverpool. :dunno:

I just wonder how seriously Utd will take it? Will they play a reserve team?

I think current form Aston Villa stand a great chance of winning this tie....4-1 odds on paddy power - worth a bet too! I cannot believe BBC are showing that total load of Liverpool rubbish...I mean unless they get beaten!!! Also cant seem to tune in that DSF channel on Sky...anyone know of any others????!! Please!!

dsf isnt on the sky satellite - thats why you cant find it. Sky is Astra 2 (28.2*E) whereas DSF is Astra 1 (19.2*E) - so you'd have to swing your dish that direction to have any chance of picking it up. Your best bet is just to ring round the pubs and see whos showing it.

I reckon United will field a similar team to the one the let out against Everton on St. Stephens Day, maybe with Brown instead of Silvestre and Fletcher in for Ronaldo. I think John O'Shea has a knock too, so maybe Phil Neville to cover him and Carroll to replace Tim Howard. Actually, thats pretty different to the side against Everton then....

As far as the telly goes - The Swiss Cottage in Santry has never let me down for a United game - even though I've only been once this year.

I hope UTD field its strongest team that way if they get beat at least they gave it their best shot and I like the FA Cup competition and would like to see utd do their best to get to the Final .
