    How is it that Crystal palace are playing Everton before us this Wed yet their game is a semi final postponed game and ours was the 6th round, surely we should be playing Everton first and we could do with that match now.

    It must be illegal though for that game to go ahead before ours, as we might be down before we play Everton and be pointless, there is a fiddle going on somewhere as that game was a month after ours, in fact they have arranged the game BEFORE the semi final which cannot be possible, so what the hell is going on ? surely ALL games have to be arranged after a postponement. Another london based team get the decision again WHU and Tevez remember, Spurs 1994 lost points and kicked out of the f a cup but got both back. This a canny quiet sly move which no one seems to have noticed.

    The FA work in mysterious ways their wonders to perform.

    I am just saying that if crystal palace lost against Norwich, it was convenient to play Everton before this Wednesday, a team who won't put themselves out before the semi. And notice Palace would not play next week 3 days before their semi !

    Palace beat Norwich, so forget that. Maybe somebody at the club knows the answer, possibly that dates for reschedules were inconvenient to us. Either way the game is just an IOU with Palace ten points ahead of us.

    I'm surprised that the game is Wednesday. I didn't think domestic pl games could be played on champions league nights

    PL will probably get a fine from UEFA - think that's what happened to FA when there was an FA Cup replay on a European night recently.
    I think re-arranged fixture dates are mutually agreed by both teams so could be that SA didn't want to risk playing 3 times in the week, especially when NCFC was always looking like a key fixture. Unfortunately, with the recent slip ups when we had the lead, it looks immaterial now as we will probably go to the wire anyhow, depending on this weekends result. I won't give up til it's mathematically impossible to survive but I think the fat lady's starting her warm up. We will be where we deserve to be after 38 games.
