UP FOR THE CUP WITH VC BET

What a week-end coming up with a feast of live football taking place and the romance of the FA Cup with the 4th round matches.

First up on BBC1 at 12.30 is Newcastle’s trip to League Two side Cheltenham at Whaddon Road. Supporters are calling for Souness to go and the Geordies must demolish their rivals to keep their manager in a job. Alan Shearer still needs one goal to beat Jackie Milburn’s all time record.

At 5.40 the BBC cameras cover the action when Bolton entertain Cup holders Arsenal at the Reebok. The Gunners are like good wine this season – they just don’t travel – and Wenger’s men need to get their act together against Big Sam’s “Ugly” football side.

Sunday sees two absolute crackers with lowly Portsmouth hosting high-flying Liverpool at Fratton Park in a 4.00 kick off and hoping not to concede a handful of goals as they did last week-end and the BBC cameras will be showing all the action.

SkySports1 are covering the game between Championship side Wolves who play Manchester United at Molineaux and Hoddle’s men will be up for upsetting the Cup second favourites.

THEO WALCOTT SPECIALS WITH VC BET

Following his transfer from Southampton to Arsenal for an initial fee of £5m which is set to rise to around £12.5m Theo Walcott has been installed at 5/4 by VC Bet to score on his first team debut for The Gunners.

He is quoted at 5-1 to beat Wayne Rooney’s record of being the youngest player to appear for England and 16-1 to beat the same player’s record of being the youngest goal scorer for his country.

VC Bet’s Neal Wilkins commented “It was a tremendous coup for Arsenal to get such a rich young talent and it would appear that the chance to get a regular place in the Arsenal line-up outweighed any monetary gain that the player would have got by joining Chelsea.”
