Fulham are at home to Liverpool on the Weds so can only play Sat so Chelsea can't play at the same time. Sunday is out 'cos we're playing Tuesday. Then we have 2 weeks off. Barmy.

No our time off is between Everton and Chelsea, 12 days.

They can't because they play the following Tuesday as we do.

Some sources are saying Fri 26, others Sat 27. Hope it's the former because the missus wants to see Small Heath away at Leicester/home to Middlesbrough the next day (delete as appropriate)

Make it past Chelsea and we are into the 5th Round. This is when it used to get seriously exciting thinking you could be going all the way to Wembley with some really big games.
So seriously is the FA Cup taken these days that R5 games are scheduled for 28th February. That's Wednesday 28th February.

marvellous so we'd potentially have 3 games in 8 days (Forest H / FA Cup5 / Luton A)
like you say the magic of the Cup
