Semi-final draw: City v Arsenal 3pm Sunday confirmed

[M19 BLUE since 66]

If it's on the Saturday will Wealdstone still have us? They are at home that day.

Just had txt from Wealdstone bar open at 10

Will you be singing it then?

Corky says he's celebrating Shakespeare'

I didn't mention St George's day. However the far rights main song for EDL marches etc is always the St George one.

Anyway I will be celebrating Shakespeares birth and death on the same day drinking mead, and I have a bottle of Connemara for friday also so I have.

The main thing for me is a Sunday evening game in London is more hassle than a Friday one, win the Sat game and sit back on Sunday watching the cockneys kick the shit out of each other again.

Didnt realise that about Shakespeare, fuck me, he packed a lot into one day of his life, wrote all those plays and sonnets whilst drinking mead, my mum told me all I did was shit and cry, the infinite Shakespeare/monkey theory is probably a bit more realistic than we thought before Corky's post!

Glad we got Arsenal. Guaranteed final appearance.

If the Rags or Spurs had got through (Rags against Chelsea, Spurs in Europe) that would have been the Sunday.

It's not like it's Monday night though or tea time. If it was Saturday everybody would moan about the kick off time.

Leave that shit to the rags 'eh.

We've just scored 6 goals in one cup & lost ffs !!

Typical City never really went away & seems to be making a strong comeback.

Moan, moan, moan regarding the Sunday staging!

The match is at 3:00PM which most claim that is what they want.

It could not be at 3:00PM of it was held on the Saturday.

For me a Sunday match is better than a Saturday 5:15PM kickoff. Try getting a train back to anywhere after than one especially after allowing for possible extra time and penalties.

Sunday suits me personally as I could have made it on Saturday (at any time).

I have booked trains down on the Sunday morning and back on Monday plus the Ibis hotel on Sunday night.

Apparently our coach is booked in Wealdstone.

Second home with an awesome Rollin Kitchen which will hopefully be on site.

We do have a precedent. We scored 7 in a cup tie once, and still lost!

It was Luton.

Didn't Law score 7 ?.......6 in the first abandoned game & 1 in the loosing replay.

Saw the first six the same chap scored the lot, then had to go home me Mum had the tea ready. She would not let me go to the replay so missed our 7th goal.

It wasn't strictly a replay. The first match was abandoned due to the pissing rain after Denis had got all six. We lost the rearranged match 3 - 1, with Denis getting our goal.

Wonder how many rags under the age of 50 know that Dennis played for us before he played for them. In fact, I wonder how many rags from outside of Manchester even know who Dennis Law is.
