Just checked and Munich away is 18/19 April so is the week leading up to the FA semi if we get through.

Another weakened side if we get past Burnley and another pot sacrificed then. And if the rags end up winning it that would be criminal

No reason to though depending on the days we play. Could end up tuesday and sunday rather than wednesday and saturday.

There was no reason to fuck up 3 of our last 4 FA Cup semi finals but we did.

Yep, agreed. Difference this time is the FA cup comes after the chumps so we should be better placed. Daresay it won't stop Pep rotating though - depending on the opposition. Let's get there first and go from there. Taking my 4 year old lad to his first game tonight so hoping for a good watch

Belting. Your first game is always special. Still remember mine from Oct 83 to this day. Have a great time with your lad my friend

Hope the lad has a memorable time, that first game is always such an experience.

We have become the third club to reach the FA cup semi finals in 5 consecutive seasons. The rags between 1961-65 and Arsenal between 2001-05

And it’s 6 in 7 seasons since Pep arrived

Pointless getting there seeing as, in every one of them, he played a weakened side.

Game in Munich confirmed as Wednesday 19 April. So we could do with the FA semi final being sunday

Doyle shown more in 15 mins than phillips all season.

Good game so far, Sheff U v Blackburn

Keown just makes monkey noises that only Gareth Bale understands.
