What replays?! I understand they are only selective this season, so I reckon this means our FA Cup games will be designated ‘decide on the day’

Selective? Never heard that but would never work. Imagine a team having to replay and another ET and pens on the day. Wouldn’t be a fair playing field

Agreed, but I’m honestly convinced I did read earlier in the season, that that was the plan.

I think UEFA allow the league matches, so long as they don't k.o. at the same times as their UCL matches. The Arse played at 18:30 or similar last season or the season before IIRC.

Would imagine there's a chance we play Arsenal on or around Valentine's Day. Imagine we'll have a game that week anyway.

Arsenal has those four midweeks booked ... CL16 gets spread over four midweeks because Europa has R32 and R16 to play during those Thursdays, so no game against Arsenal on 14/15 Feb midweek nor on 7/8 Mar midweek.

The earliest free midweek as things stand is 4/5 Apr or then after that 2/3 May ... so unless FA Cup R3 and R4 replays are scratched, that's what we are looking at, but I hope they'd get away with replays which would free up 17/18 Jan and 7/8 Feb for all.

You are missing the point that Arsenal arent in the Europa league r32 so they don't have a game the first 2 weeks - so we both have no game 14/15th feb.

Technically there isn’t a Europa R32. The group winners go straight to R16 and the second place teams play off against the CL drop outs.

UEFA long since stopped trying to block matches being played on CL mid-weeks. The CL/EL/ECL occupies six weeks for the group stages and a further eight weeks for the R16, QF, and SF. Add in the R16 playoffs and that is 15 mid-weeks blanked off - around one third of the season. That ignores the four qualifying rounds and the playoff round prior to the group stages.

I think that EPL teams may wish to avoid clashing with live screened CL matches but plenty of other leagues throughout Europe play matches on Tuesday and Wednesday up against CL matches at normal kick off times.

No you’re wrong as I mentioned before. Arsenal have no game on 14/2 as they’re not in the play off round for Europa (when Utd play Barca). It is free for them and us. They play one round less and go straight into last 16 on March.

OK gotcha ... I don't follow Europa at all ... I think they changed the R32 and R16 to this new format when they introduced the third tier competition in Conference League last year.

Anyway, we should find out this week (hopefully) all the remaining TV picks for January and where they're slotting the postponed games.

All these need to go in somewhere ...
