I think I remember from one of the podcasts that Swansea City was your team. Would've been nice to have had the option to watch that one. Maybe the spheres and the satellites will align to allow you to be able to see them on telly if they play one of the Premiership clubs in the fourth round!

There were about 30-40 people, mostly Liverpool fans, the atmosphere was great. $10 for pay-per-view is not that bad, I guess. Only the semi-finals and the final will be $20.

I want the matchups of the small (or smaller) against the big guys. Give me the Forest-Charlton or Tottenham-Cardiff games over Man U-Villa or Arsenal-Pool.<br/><br/>I'd love to see some of the other small matches as well, but reality sets in on what they will be available and the the people making those decisions. Oh well. Still a good weekend. I’m with quid on this one. I want the matchups of the small (or smaller) against the big guys.
