The FA Cup 2018-19

It has always been drawn on Mondays afaia, which also makes it after the last game of the round has taken place - so the 10pm draw keeps it in line somewhat, whereas a Sunday draw before the last games have been played would be more of a change from tradition

In 2001 we played West Ham in the quarter finals and the winner had already been drawn to play Arsenal in the semis.
 
Historically* it was lunchtime on a Monday.
With the increase in TV coverage it moved to the weekend after the end of the day's televised fixture, (can't remember if always a Sunday) but has more recently been moved to early Monday evening. I don't recall it being as late as 10pm before though.

*from my memory of listening to it - may have been different before that.
 
I remember listening to the draw on portable radio Monday lunchtimes when the cup still had an element of luck and romance, when I was a kid teams like Villa, Bolton, Blackpool, Blackburn, Birmingham, Forest, Preston and Wolves got to the final playing against teams fielding strong sides.
 
Wolves have obviously won thier cup final this season beating us!
Since that win they have been simply dreadful.
 
Well taken goal. Liverpool are even more woeful than Wolves. But they'll throw on some of their big guns in the second half and hopefully earn themselves a replay.

I feel wolves need another goal to make their dominance count, other than against us the thing that has been missing from their play has been taking their chances.
 
I really hope that one day, no more football is shown on the BBC. They ruin every single game with their shots of the crowd, the manager or anything but the phucking game itself.
