Not sure it's negotiable!
Not a chance of it happening week commencing 12th mayNellie said:15th or 16th April for Sunderland (re-arranged)?St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:If it is true that it cant be arranged during CL nights then the only 3 weeks that the game can be played are:-
Week commencing the 14th April.
Week commencing the 5th May.
Week commencing the 12th May.
Not sure what happens as regards FA Cup replays. I take it they can be played on the same night as CL and it is just domestic league games that can't?
Any news yet?
(Nothing on the OS.)
...oh and what about the Villa game scheduled for 8th March (still listed on the OS!). We're at home to Wigan in the cup on that date (or the day after) now!
Didsbury Dave said:Going out of one or even both other cups over the next few days really won't be the end of the world, and could be the difference between winning the title and not.

Bang out of order that, who honestly gives a fuck if they play that whilst the chumps league is on?berryblue said:Hull v Brighton Have been told they will have to play their 5th round replay on a Monday night because of the Champions League.
Liverpool away as that is the weekend of the semi finals matemancity dan said:Which game would be postponed if we beat Wigan in the FA Cup?
The FA need to grow a set of bollocks and tell UEFA to fuck off. It's ludicrous that they signed up to this agreement in the first place.Inter Me Nan said:Bang out of order that, who honestly gives a fuck if they play that whilst the chumps league is on?berryblue said:Hull v Brighton Have been told they will have to play their 5th round replay on a Monday night because of the Champions League.

I was looking at the league fixtures yesterday and Chelsea play Arsenal in the early Saturday kick off on the 22nd March, meaning we'd temporarily have 4 games in hand, madness!mancity dan said:St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:Liverpool away as that is the weekend of the semi finals matemancity dan said:Which game would be postponed if we beat Wigan in the FA Cup?
Thanks SHB. We are going to get to a stage where we will have 3 games in hand over other teams.

Arsenal did it years ago when utd went 10pts clear, had a few games in hand, fred done paid out on utd and arsenal clawed it back. ..KippaxCitizen said:We could easily be outside the top four if we have a point where we have three or four games in hand on teams around us. There will be a lot of pressure on us to win these game win hand.
supercity88 said:How does everyone think we will respond to the games in hand? We seemed to respond positively when we were behind with a clear target in our games in the 2011/12 title winning season. We could have up to 4 games in hand and may be say 9 points off top, I think that gives us a real advantage in knowing what we need. Then again, having the pressure of requiring 12 points may be negative on the team?!
