And now ITV have chosen the FA Cup tie in the Midlands for Sunday afternoon
the delayed home Game v Fulham will move back 24 hours to
Weds 18 February (Not confirmed yet but clubs refuse to play Sunday and Tuesday)

[SamD]

Could we not have a link to an announcemnt of the changes rather than one to a long list of matches to filter through.

3 Liverpool games moved in March for TV

According to fixtures365 Man Utd v Everton Sat 31st is postponed. Is this just a mistake?

[mephisto]

[Lister]

They have said on SSN that Evra could be back for Saturday against Everton.

BBC say likely to be rescheduled for the 14th feb

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 858896.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So, if this is being played on the 14th Feb, does this mean they will still play the next round fo the FA Cup ont he 16th 2 days later (as originally scheduled)?

As the winners are at home there's no way they could make arrangements for the game with 2 days' notice.

Always gets messy when there are teams a round behind, but not sure what else they can do in this case.

[thelip]

Move it to the Wednesday perhaps? What was the thing that Fergie uncovered about agreeing to play to a finish over one game? They could invoke that for the 5th round.

[forestfan]

I remember the year we made the final, we had so many postponements and replays (back in the days when there was no extra-time and penalties and they had 2nd replays) and we were at least a round behind everyone else most of the way through. There were three or four-way either/ors in some of the draws! At least these days they know two games will settle it...

I don't think replays have any place in the modern game really but they're FA Cup tradition I suppose.

[Bucks womble]

Guess playing the Arsenal replay on the 14th will also mean one of the actual 5th round ties will now be moved to the Monday to fill the TV slot...?

[Judio]

You wont believe this

Setanta want the Cardiff game on the Monday night for Tv !!!!!

So they cant play on the Weds after in Round 5

CONFIRMED on FA Website Feb 16th

[Lovely_Camel]

Now that Arsenal's 4th round replay match will be played on Feb. 16th,,, when will their 5th round match be played then?? (Assuming Arsenal wins)

Will it be on March 7th, when the other clubs are playing their 6th round matches,,, or will they postpone one of Arsenal's league matches in order to push through this FA Cup fixture??

[Judio]

See FA Cup Thread

Burnley would go to Cardiff on Feb 25th

Burnley would got to Arsenal on March 7 or 8th

I guess because the FA Cup Final is so late they dont need to finish the 6th Round on time

[Judio]

The cynics will say it is due to the 5 yellow cards amnesty starting at midnight
on Feb 28th

Hull v Blackburn on Feb 28 will now be played on Sunday Mar 1 at 1230

http://www.hullcityafc.premiumtv.co.uk/ ... 80,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is due to Hull City playing their previous league game on Monday 23rd February and thus potentially having an FA Cup replay against Sheffield United on Thursday 26th February.

Sunderlands home game against Tottenham has been re-arranged for Saturday March 7th as they are both out of the FA Cup

Looks like they're missing one game from both the first and third weekends in April.

MU v Pompey re-arranged for 22 April according to that as well.

The idiots at Setanta never learn do they

Fulham v Liverpool on Monday 6th April

Champions League on 7th and 8th

That is why Sat 17:30 on Sat 4th is free

The third Saturday will be an FA Cup Semi

The third Saturday will be an FA Cup Semi

And they have picked so far in the League
An Arsenal game
A Chelsea game
A Man U game

Now tell me which three teams are likely to feature
in the FA Cup Semi Finals

LFC website:

The clash at Fulham, due to be played at Craven Cottage on Saturday April 4, has been put back 48 hours and will now take place on Monday April 6, with an 8pm kick-off. The game will be screened live on Setanta.

However, if Liverpool overcome Real Madrid and progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the match at Fulham will revert back to Saturday April 4 and will kick-off at 5.30pm.

The British National Party event in Liverpool has just been cancelled (see post above).

Is that because they didn't know where to send the invitations
as someone had stolen their Mailing List
