The FA Cup Semi Final - Crystal Palace

[Nev]

I can't see it kicking off at 3 with the embargo in place so likely to be either side of that. The Rags KO at 12:30 at the Dickhead Sports Planet so that would point to a later KO but WMP might not relish 6k Colonel Ghaddafi's drinking in Town through the afternoon.

My guess is a 12noon KO.

Has anyone noticed that Cardiff will be helped in their tie against Villa by the presence of Wales’ patron saint on St David’s Day, March 1st?

What position does he play?

Left Baaack

Feels like that or 2pm Sunday. I'd be very surpised if it wasn't a TV pick.

It's early, took me a while to work out 'Colonel Ghaddafis'

[Drummond]

They will almost certainly show them all on TV.

My predictions are....

Friday Night, 8pm Forest v Ipswich
Sat lunch 12ish Villa v Cardiff
Sat tea 5.30 ManC v Plymouth
Sat night 8pm Newcastle v Brighton
Sun 12-2ish Preston v Burnley
Sun tea 5ish ManU v Fulham
Sun night 8pm Bournemouth v Wolves
Monday 8pm Palace v Millwall

Us and Manc will depend on the Champ's league draw and whether we have a Tuesday or Wed night game

Me too. Hadn’t a clue what Nev was alluding to linking a former Lybian dictator with Cardiff City FC.

We've got their Prince on our side.

Surely they can't give us a Sunday game when we might be playing the following Tuesday.

I wouldn't count on them to give a single fuck about our situation, we'll probably get Monday night.

[Mister E]

There are 8 games. Are they all on TV?
The slots for this round were 1 Friday, 3 Saturday, 3 Sunday and 1 Monday.
Or does the Monday one get binned now with Euro matches that week?

There's also a 4th round tie today, Tuesday.

[kippaxvilla2]

There are four 'tastier' ties than ours including Bournemouth v Wolves.  The beeb usually do two and ITV two don't they?

[Nev]

Every game will be on TV and with the CL situation us and the 115 Jivers will be on Sat. The TV companies will want this boxed off pretty soon so might not wait to see who plays Tues/Weds.

A quick Google search shows Man United having 12 successive home cup draws. 4,096/1.

Great stat . Unbelievable really is .

So unbelievable, that it isn’t true.

Unless the stat is that it once happened. Then it is true but not slightly unbelievable. Other teams have had similar runs. Us being one of them.

It is true. between 2021 and 2023 including both cups ignoring two legged semi finals.

be careful calling people out for lying when you have literally no evidence whatsoever. You may yourself come across as a liar.

[Dave]

Yeah, he covers that.

What's the most in a row that we've had, for comparison?
