6th Round draw (Wigan it is)

[Marvin]

How long are they going to take to schedule these games?

The remaining games are on Mon 24th Feb. If they decide on Tues 25th, that leaves about 11 days to the game. Not much time to sort everything out

What baffles me is they've already decided the Arsenal v Everton tie, yet they're keeping the rest of us waiting!

Try travelling from abroad. Booking hotels, airfares etc etc. The later you leave booking the air travel, the more expensive it becomes.

So it can't be Sat 12.45pm then. So that leaves 3 slots. Sat 5.15pm would be OK

BT Sport is planning to announce on Thursday that it will broadcast City’s clash against Wigan at 4pm on Sunday, March 9, three days before the Barca return in the Nou Camp

!!!!!!!!!!!

Now glad I am not flying to Barca until Wednesday morning. Pie eaters may end up as the Monday night match! :-)

Welcome back Uwe legend :-)

At 1/4 final stage there are no Fri or Mon night games, it'll be 2 Sat 2 Sun with all 4 on tv.
I'd love us to be on the Saturday, but itv get first pick for Sat tea time and they may prefer arsenal Everton.

My guess would be
Brighton/Hull v Sunderland Sat lunchtime BT
Arsenal Everton Sat 5.15 itv
Sheffield v Sheffield / Charlton Sun lunch itv
City Wigan Sun 4pm BT

If the Sheffield derby comes off police will insist its one of the 2 early games, and traditionally the early Sat slot gets smallest viewing figures so will be the least attactive tie

That would be an early start for Sunderland fans if they have to travel to Brighton for a lunch time KO!

Giving this earlier prediction of mine a bump, cos looking at the telegraph tonight it seems that it (sadly) looks like being correct

Fucking disgrace if 4pm on the Sunday gets the go ahead, which looks likely.

All you hear is how top English clubs are found out when they play against the giants of Spain and Germany. No wonder when they're getting less than 72 hours rest between a cup quarter final and an away champions league tie at the camp nou. How are the players possibly supposed to be fresh?

Here's a rare idea, if it's too difficult to find an alternative TV spot for the Wigan game, why not just don't have it on TV at all and play it on Saturday afternoon at 3pm? That way by the time the precious television companies wish to show the team playing, they might not be blowing out of their arses after 10 minutes and provide a much better quality of entertainment?

Joke.

Consider this situation, it's very unlikely but it COULD happen. We go 2-0 up in the Nou Camp, get to 75 minutes, then Barcelona go on to dominate because we're physically exhausted and score a winner, it's a scandal that in this day in age it's all worth it to a television company.

Tea time is normally about 5 or 6 in the evening, when we tend to eat our tea. It is the 3rd meal of the day after breakfast (AM) and dinner (12-1pm)

You mean breakfast, lunch and dinner.

No. It's breakfast, dinner and tea, end of discussion :)

I'm with you 100% on this, Quagmire.

That would give us 2 days to prepare for the return leg. Would have preferred the Saturday evening so lets hope its not true!
