Too early to say what impact it would have on the league. But if we make the final of the FA Cup we would now have to play Tottenham the Wednesday before. Which is not very helpful.

Couldn't we play it on the Tuesday? Plus we'd also be in the FA Cup final.

If we don't win the FA Cup, and Chelsea and Yanited win European trophies, I have to admit that I'll be less than pleased.
Seems like you’ll be tad annoyed, and quite rightly so.

No, because Tottenham will be playing the previous Thursday so their preceding league game will be on the Sunday.

In more bad news, I see the second leg of the Bilbao v Man Utd game is at OT. I had not been expecting it to be that way round.

Yeah, even if Bilbao beat Man U, they won't beat Man U and the Old Trafford officials.

Ah well, we'll just have to rotate heavily if we've reached the final.

If it's played on the 14th, that will be our 4th game in 18 days. It will be Spurs' 6th game in 17 days.

If it comes to pass, I may indeed be mildly irritated.

Yeah, even if Bilbao beat Man U, they won't beat Man U and the Old Trafford officials.

Let's hope the away supporters get treated better than the last time they were there. There was some serious crushing when they were leaving, which is why you should never put all your Basques in one exit.

You're (rightly) proud of that one, aren't you?

I didn't realise that Newton Heath win against a team with 10 men. In fact I'd go as far as to say it was only referred to in passing.
