A team from my era:
Carlo Nash
Richard Edghill, Micah Richards, Richard Dunne, Gael Clichy
Trevor Sinclair, Marc Vivien Foe, Javi Garcia, Eyal Berkovic
Paul Dickov, Felipe Caicedo
Got decent balance to it, struggled with midfield.
Got a feeling they might put our FA Cup semi final on the Saturday 12th April, give us a game on the Tuesday 15th, Good Friday the 18th and then the Monday West Brom game.
Hopefully they put the Sunderland and Villa games on those dates so we have 2 home games rather than the Liverpool away...
The only fixture set in stone out of that lot is the Southampton one.
Liverpool will move if we beat Wigan.
West Brom will move if we get through to CL Semi-finals.
Crystal Palace could move if we get through to CL Semi-finals.
It sort of is correct.
Wembley is the same size pitch as the Etihad. Only those grounds restricted by size have smaller pitches.
For example, Anfield has a restricted length but is maximum width.

Agree. He must curb this tomorrow. Ref will book him for 1st offence of that kind.
But that's the point.
By that time, excluding Champions League weeks, there will be 2 available midweek slots with 3 matches to fit in.
Therefore, if we progress in CL to SF's. We won't be able to play the 3rd game.
It MUST be played before then, because nobody knows how far we will go in CL.
If we get to the Semi-final of the FA Cup. (Likely)
We will have 3 games to re-arrange:
Sunderland (H)
Villa (H)
Liverpool (A)
If we progress to the Champions League Semi-final:
there are only 2 free midweeks that are not taken up by Champions League football (either ourselves or Uefa rules...
