skeeo 37 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Will be interesting to see what they do, especially with the possibility of a CL semi for us though obviously pool's claim is much strongerI note that the FA Cup official website now has both games on the 14 April: http://www.thefa.com/thefacup/fixtures though obviously nothing is official until they make an announcement Really hope we play on the 14th as that is the only day that I will be in London for my first ever trip to Europe and i'm desperate to see us play!!

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Be a tough game whoever we get.Still remember that sodding Carling Cup Final loss to Spurs and Bolton wont exactly sit back...obviously depends on their situation if they do the replay or not...can see the reasons why they wouldnt with nothing certainI hope if we do go to the final and Liverpool do as well.....that we dont sodding loose!That be beyond shite really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Dalglish has flat out refused to play on the 15th, what with the Hillsbrough anniversary.Mong Surely it would make more sense to play on that date, in honour of those who died. It's not like SAF refuses to play on the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez 2,727 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Glad Bolton haven't decided to pull out of the FA cup, they should want to go into this game to win it even more for Muamba, it would be unfair if Spurs got through because of this incident. I hope Bolton go through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 yes imagine v qualify for the champions league semis15 - 04 - 12 - v Spurs - Wembley18 - 04 - 12 - v Barcelona/AC Milan - Stamford Bridge21 - 04 - 12 - vs Arsenal - The Emirates24 - 04 - 12 - vs Barcelona - Camp Nouholy hell!When we drew 1-1 with Barca last time at home, our next match was Arsenal away and we won 4-1. That was also the season that we won the FA Cup after changing manager mid-season. Strange if u ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 No surprises there, and RDM hit the nail on the head, the FA simply don't help their teams in Europe as much as other leagues.Napoli played on friday before our 2 meetings, and i think Benfica also did.
