So annoying, I will be in sunny Cyprus that week, first home NLD I will have missed for years :-(
What about the Leicester game, any word on that?
Yeah just noticed thatFixture changes - May
Liverpool (A) - remains Saturday 7 May, now kick-off 7.45pm - BT Sport
Arsenal (H) - now Thursday 12 May, kick-off 7.45pm - Sky Sports
Burnley (H) - remains Sunday 15 May, now kick-off 12noon - BT Sport
Sunday 12pm KO for our last home game of the season
Yeah just noticed that
And also that means less rest after we beat the arse
And Woolwich get their weekend game pushed out to the Monday evening!
Total joke for fans but as they said it's all about us !! ermFixture changes - May
Liverpool (A) - remains Saturday 7 May, now kick-off 7.45pm - BT Sport
Arsenal (H) - now Thursday 12 May, kick-off 7.45pm - Sky Sports
Burnley (H) - remains Sunday 15 May, now kick-off 12noon - BT Sport
Sunday 12pm KO for our last home game of the season
And our match v Liverpool on 7 May now moved to 7.45pm kick-off.
The TV picks for that weekend have been announced, and we're not one of them, so on the face of it, it should be a Saturday 3pm KO, whatever one of those might be.
However... if Leicester make it to the ECL SF, then they'd play the Thursday before, in which case our game would presumably then move to the Sunday. Won't know for sure until after the QF 2nd leg on 14 April.
But you don't need more than 2 weeks to plan, right
so that bit more recovery time

I meant arsenalYeah! So back to bed for 04:00 on the Friday and up at 06:00 on the Sunday (50 hours). Do you think they'd send me a Physio for a rub-down on the Saturday?

Midday SundayWe play Pool on the seventh, and Arse play Leeds on the eight, so there's a bit more time for us to recover and prepare for the NLD though. Of course there's a tiny quality difference between our opponents, but still.
Quite ridiculous how the PL spent almost three months to reschedule the game, though. This game will be played on May 12th just so that Sky can hype it up as the big, decisive game for the run in. Player fitness, security issues, fan convenience - fudge that, give us money.
Yeah, I'm a cynic. Looking forward to the game though.
