March fixtures

Competely forgot about that, Biggish.

Penalty win vs Chelsea would be funny for nostalgic reasons.

I think it will be a very cagey game. We will want to make sure we aren't blown away after 30 secs this time. Can see it being won in extra time, probably by Chelsea as we'll tire.

If our players aren't playing qualifiers they should not bother going for the international games.

Sadly it doesn't work like that.

The good news is that there is no replay in the QF's so if you draw at SB it won't give you another fixture

I'd have preferred a replay as opposed to 120 minutes and pens at SB.

The game comes on the back of a European game (probably) less than 3 days earlier, and another European game a few days later.

It might be that we have a difficult, tight 1st leg Europa game with our 1st choice team, play most of the 1st team against Chelsea and are then left with a difficult decision about going with a potentially weaker team in the 2nd leg of the Europa.

For SAF it did

No it didn't.

Remember that insane 5-4 carling cup game we had

April and May will be very interesting

We have Chelsea and Everton at home
City, Southampton, Arsenal and Spurs away

Whattttttt

Our end to the season is absolutely brutal. Literally going to be a cup final size game most weekends. And if we're still in Europe it will serve as a massive advantage to our opponents.

But would we rather be out of europe and all cups and just playing for top 4? No we wouldn't. Just got to get on with it and have a go.
