The FA Cup is back.

Actually, it's hardly ever been away, but seeing as it's the third round now, loads more people are taking notice of it. With the Premier League teams now in the mix, two fixtures were played on Friday night, with the BBC choosing to broadcast the tie of the round - the Merseyside Derby at Anfield. Fair enough, you might think. The other game saw Manchester United host Derby County at Old Trafford. This game was not televised in the UK - the first time since the construction of the Egyptian Pyramids that a United FA Cup game had not been shown live on UK telly. Although it was announced weeks ago that this was the case, plenty of United fans clearly didn't get the memo. Having scrolled through every possible tv channel available, many of them expressed their disbelief on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Terry_Rudden/status/949296718675357696 https://twitter.com/oohhangon/status/949371488678940672 https://twitter.com/CampoCFC/status/949370256799227909 https://twitter.com/DMSportsMassage/status/949368457283416065 https://twitter.com/JerryYoungs/status/949359616265252864 https://twitter.com/Ernie2k34/status/949358763789705218 Ah well. At least everyone will just wait for the highlights instead of looking to watch some poor quality, illegal stream online.
