Our Fixtures - Now till the end of season!

In saying that though, we're still in with a very real chance of the quad in late March/April. That in itself shows how good we are. I wouldn't have it any other way!

But even then, UEFA get priority on fixture scheduling and IF we get to the semi final, we could play Wednesday, Tuesday.

That would mean us potentially playing Sunday (Burnley), Wednesday(UCL), Friday (Cardiff), Sunday (Leicester), Tuesday(UCL). Can't happen.

I believe SKY want:
Tue/Wed CL SF
Sat/Sun Leicester (H) - depending on CL SF assignment their preference is for Liverpools game on the Sun (as they could win the title on that day)
Tue/Wed CL SF
Fri Cardiff (H)
Sun Brighton (A)
 
Ive already booked train for semi final for the Saturday, ill be pissed off if its sunday.

Huge row between City and BT/BBC/SKY/PL/FA going on behind the scenes as to City's rearranged fixtures: Cardiff (H) and the FA Cup match day.
They want our FA Cup game on the Sunday, leaving us with 2 days to the CL QF. Also they want us to play 3 games in a week in the League the last week of the season.
Not a City source.

City could either simply refuse to play on Sunday ( won't happen) but would make the fa shit themselves at chance of lost revenue and also 1 of the best teams in Europe not being in the final or we could simply say ok it's the Sunday we will be playing the u18 team. 3 games in a week doesn't seem to bad if planned right in Friday Tue Friday or Fri Wednesday Sunday etc
 
City have no balls when it comes to things like this so expect the worst possible outcome

It would be 4 (very important) games in a week, and no amount of planning would make it ok.
 
BT Sport get first game pick for FA Cup semi but BBC live QF game is currently scheduled for the Saturday evening....

Not wishing to count chickens BTW, we would have to beat Spurs to play 3 games in the final week of the season, and that's not guaranteed, with City v Cardiff on the Friday.

It would be outrageous if we had to play 3 games in the final week. Although I think that sense of outrage might fuel our players into wiping the floor with our opponents in those games.

Another concern with playing Cardiff on the Friday is that we might clinch the PL, suffer a rowdy pitch invasion and, given the post Birmingham sentiment, be docked points!
