    Our match with Newcastle is scheduled for 12:45 on the 13th April.

    IF Newcastle make it through against Anji Makakakakakaka this week, the qu=arter final of the Europa league will be played on the 4th and 11th April.

    There has to be at least 48 hours from the Europa league game to the next league game which would therefore mean the derby kicks off on the Sunday - why did sky decide "We'll play it early on a Saturday" - I don;t make £thousands but I can work that out - surely, to avoid a risk of this happening, they should've made the match a lunch time Sunday kick off and moved the Man Utd game to the Saturday??

    Yeah was a bizarre decision. I wonder if it moves to Sunday if it'll still be on sky. Apparently there's a been back at the sol

    Whenever it is, it's going to be a watching-through-the-fingers job...

    Everone's missed a trick here.

    Why don't they play the match at 10.15pm after the European tie at SJP.

    That way there's a guaranteed full house, you lads that get in early will be able to tell your grandkids that you actually saw a live European game, we'll be a little bit tired even after a 15 minute rest so it could be a tighter game than anticipated......:emoticon-0136-giggl

    How's it hangin Sid?....<ok>


    Found myself at a loose end and thought I'd pop across for some neighbourly banter.

    On a serious note, whilst I can understand the worry over your current plight ( not that we've got owt to be smug about ) I'm pretty sure you'll be ok. I fancy you to beat Norwich and another 4 or 5 points after that will do it.

    I'm good, Jim. You?

    Neither of our sides has been brilliant, but there's worse than us and I think we'll be OK. As ever, it's about winning the games at home...
