And 7th we play FA Cup 3rd round? Ain't happening. Only other chance is if both us and they get out of League Cup before the QF or SF stage and then use those midweeks ... but all those are Sky games and so is this postponed one for us (so will remain) ... plus it's not just one game or two teams that's postponed ... the whole gameweek was done with so they'd have to find a totally free space somewhere for all 20 teams to slot 10 games, plus 5 or so would need to be televised as well so not just one slot for all games but staggered over 2-3 days over a mid-week ... the FA Cup replays will have to give way for 16/17 Jan or 7/8 Feb to be free'ed up or else the first available slot is 4/5 April by when teams in League Cup Final and FA Cup QF would all have those fixtures piled up already as well.

Will you be taking the bank holiday?

I actually won't be because my academic term starts the week after regardless and any work that doesnt get done will need to get done at some other point. But regardless I don't think taking a bank holiday proves the existence of God (though it would admittedly make theologians jobs a lot easier).

We don’t know who we are playing in the FA Cup nor on what day.

We don’t know if we are in the League Cup semi final, but it could be moved to the Wednesday?

The 5th is 3 days after our previous match, the 8th 3 days after the 5th and the 11th 3 days after the 8th.

It's not just us mate ... and not just Spurs ... it's the whole bloody league, 20 teams, 10 games to fit in ... and 5 games (for TV) would need their own 5 slots not overlapping with other (televised) games ... and for us, why would we want to slot a Spurs game between Chelsea (A) and United (A) right after the teams have come back from the World Cup anyway?

The only way I see it is either the FA Cup replays for R3 or R4 have to go ... or League Cup switches to single leg semi-final and frees up one of those mid-weeks.

Have a look the whole season ... all 20 PL teams would be in the FA Cup R3 ... and whether we are or aren't in league cup QF doesn't matter, two teams would be there (and that's two games Sky has rights to, and they won't overlap with other PL games).

I do get that and it would be tight, but only 4 teams will be fully affected as it’s the LC semis.

Other teams could play league games that mid week?

It's 8 teams if all PL teams make it ... as it's league cup QFs not semis!

It just ain't happening for TV reasons. TV has 5 games to show from the weekend of PL games plus two of the QFs ... whether teams are or aren't in QF the TV won't be televising two games at the same time, even if it's both with Sky ... plus League Cup quarter finalists will only be known by 21st December ... you think league and tv and teams will wait till then and then announce a whole load of fixtures 10-15 days later? Not happening that, I have dissected this 10 ways for you, if you still think that's even a possibility then you have not been paying attention to PL and TV companies in last decade or so.

Fair enough. Didn’t the scousers have to play 2 games in a day last season?

I think there’ll be some really tight scheduling needed.

Our style of play probably suits a super busy season over other English teams, but it's so hard to manage once you get to the QFs in the CL. Maybe we should just play the kids in that Chelsea league cup game to give us the best chance.
 
Looking on the bright side at least the M56 should be open for our next home game. Fucking traffic nightmare around Hale and Altrincham today
