So no Thursdays but 5pm kickoff...

The fact that they are champions should have nothing to do with it. It would either be decided in our favour as having the best record in the group stages, or theirs as the highest ranked team.

This is in our favour as far as i'm concerned. It's GREAT news as far as our Premier League campaign goes. So we wont have as many fans there, but that's only a minor bad point as i think we'll have a greater chance of winning trophies playing Wednesday and not Thursday in Europe!

It may only apply to the first knockout round and for that the home tie falls between a possible FA Cup 5th round tie - or a blank weekend - and a possible Carling Cup Final!

There's me getting excited about a Prem and Europa Lg double season!
 
I finish work at 2pm so it suits me fine, gotta get up at 5am so these early kick off means I can still get an early night. I can see us going all the way in this comp but the league has to be the top priority.

When the draw is made don't go straight to skyscanner or wherever booking flights as we could swap the home and away legs to avoid the Tues 5pm fiasco.

that Telegraph article says City have ruled out switching ties
City should have said something publicly though
 
well i wont be able to get to manchester for 5, so it will be a couple of beers sat at home in the warm,
 
Cheap ticket prices but will be sub 20k for the home leg. Ridiculous time. I can go but loads won't be able to.
