For example Spurs v Chelsea is now pencilled in for Mar 19th

BUT if Chelsea need a 6th Round replay, it will get moved again

Following the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday, two league games originally arranged during sixth round weekend - 8-9 March - now have to be rearranged:

- Derby v Chelsea
- Man Utd v Bolton

If:
- Bolton continue to progress in the UEFA Cup
- Chelsea and United do likewise in the FA Cup and Champions League

then the first free midweek date for both these Prem fixtures is Wed 16 April.

Derby Chelsea is free to be moved to Wed 12 March

And also if a replay occurs, then Spurs Chelsea will move to Weds April 16th
which also means Setanta's desperate wish to have Chelsea on a Monday (14th April at home to Wigan) will evaporate

Man U have followed Chelsea's lead and have rearranged their
missing League Game (Bolton (H)) on Weds 19th March

This assumes they will not be involved in a Cup Replay

For the first time in many a year, there doesn't seem to
be any Congestion at all !!!

3 games cancelled from Saturday are being played tonight

The other is being played on the 19th along with the Carling Cup
Final repeat

All that remains is Portsmouth's game on Semi Final weekend which can be played on April 16th.

And that is it

:shock:

Sounds like the `Big Four' will have to arrange a mini-Tournement in Dubai for April, so that they can continue to whinge about the Premier League Programme. :lol:

The Big Four may well have a Mini Tournament of their own at the end of April

It is called the Semi Finals of the Champions League !!!!
