CL QF Draw - City V Spurs ===== SF V Ajax (If we get there)

[G-Star Medium Rare]

As someone predicted on here recently, being set up for a City v Barca final !

Why?

We play Cup Semi or Palace on Sat, Spurs away Tuesday, Palace Away Sunday & Spurs at home Wed.... Sounds about right to me

Yep, that would be fine.

Would have us playing catch-up but that original Palace date is also the day Liverpool play Chelsea at home? There are potential boosters to morale right there, especially, needing to raise ourselves for the Palace game the following weekend.

If I'm being honest, I really don't like the Spurs matchup. The idea of playing them 2ice in 4 days annoy me. It just changes how teams react to each other.

Anyway, hopefully we win the first leg. Coz I think that's the key game.

Their first match is planned to be the league game on the Sat 6th not ours

If Brighton win their FA Cup quarter-final match on Sunday 17th March we shall play Crystal Palace on Wednesday 3rd April and Brighton on 23rd/24th April.

If Brighton lose their FA Cup quarter-final match on Sunday 17th March we shall play Brighton on 6th/7th April (subject to Champions League scheduling) and Crystal Palace on 23rd/24th April.

Tonster, you are quite correct.

Surely you've heard about this?




When Pep returned to the hotel after the pressy, he was met by a standing ovation from the team & staff. They had been pressure to reply to all of Mou's BS but up until then Guardiola had resisted...until his prepared statemnet

Ah right, not seen it before. It adds a bit of context to their interactions in the Premier

So does that mean we will definetly be on the Saturday if we get to the fa cup semi?
What day do the rags play their game against barca. If they are the Tuesday too we will have a problem if we both get to the semi and don't play each other

The best thing about this draw is it almost guarantees Liverpool an extra 4 high intensity fixtures. Our game against Spurs is little more than a 2 legged premier league game without the hassle of travel. In short, although the draw does not guarantee we will the Champions League I feel it will certainly assist us in retaining the Premier League.

Anyone see Andy Andrew Cole's reaction once it dawned on him that United would be getting Barcelona? Pretty funny I say.

I think Liverpool beats Barcelona. If we make it to the finals, I expect it to be against Liverpool.

Unless that is, they lose to Porto :) Now that will be nice.
