Must make changes here, can't risk injuries to our key players.

We'll know before kick-off if it's even worth going through.

KWP.....Mavropanos.....Todibo.....Scarles

Traore.....Magassa.....Kante.....Lamadrid

Get Pablo on for 20-30mins in the 2nd half.

I think that's a good slot for us. Not sure why the Saints game can't be the lunchtime Sunday game instead of Saturday night.

Because you can't put Arsenal out and god forbid make them play on Sunday then on Wednesday, or Arteta will cry again.

Easter Sunday is a shitty day to put any matches on really.

Cooking a roast for 8 or in the pub with mates from 1pm.  Tough call

[Far Cough UKunt]

Leeds tickets on sale now.

I don't really know anyone who celebrates Easter or does stuff other than go out and get bang on it.. I suppose my whole extended circle of MATES lack imagination.. 

you don't have an Easter Egg party?

That’s Easter Sunday. A bit shit weekend to choose to have the qtr finals. 

Brilliant I hate the Easter weekend boring shit and good to have a big game to look forward to 

For those of us with enough imagination (and family) to fill a long weekend, it’s not so brilliant. 

A bit gay. Do you have a turkey on Easter Sunday?

You don't have to go could watch on TV if you have family stuff planned. 

That is precisely what I'm going to have to do unfortunately. Tickets to my Uncle.

A, season ticket can definitely be a pain and often gets in the way with the unpredictable TV scheduling, I've missed 6 already this season. 

Totally agree. it's a complete fucker sometimes. I don't think we've had more than a handful of home Sat 3pm games this season? 3 by my count but happy to be corrected. Also what's irritating is I believe the vast majority of our televised games have been at home as well and rather few of our away games. That feels pretty unfair also on STH. I know it's out of the club's hands but the PL should look at this with the broadcasters to an extent. Just from looking at the KO times I makes it 11 out of 14 home games televised and 6 (I think) away games.

It's kind of shit to fork out for an STH and in a lot of cases TV subscriptions on top only to have almost all the home games which we've already paid for once available to watch from the sofa, and way less of the ones most of us can't see not broadcast at all.

Exactly that. The Saturday is a far easier sell than Easter Sunday which is a fucking shit day to lumber us with really. We've obviously been put there so it suits the 'bigger' clubs to be on the Saturday although there is room for all four games on the Saturday as well. They could go 1200, 1500, 1730, 2000. Or have us on the evening of Good Friday.  But it is what it is. I'm sure the trains will all be running a reduced service too.

I have plenty of imagination thanks, not a big family to do stuff with though. Will save me going out though and getting up to no good.. Had an event invite for the Saturday so will blow that out now... Maybe..

No Saturday 3pm kick offs 
Understand from next season the Championship teams are going to lose their two games over Easter
As usual no consultation with fans 
Presume we have been moved as there are Champions league games the following midweek … Liverpool have been given the early Sat kick off 

[Mad Ferret]

Quite like it myself. No work on Monday.

Yeah, silly weekend for it. Fucking annoying the other three are on Saturday and we get the Sunday. Worse for the Leeds fans though, I expect.

We play Wolves at home the following Friday so staying on the Saturday would have been better

 for me, all four games should be completed Sat/Sun, and the draw done on Sunday evening

I was reading earlier that's exactly how is was last season, so suspect it will be the same.

[Takashi Miike]

I'm expecting the Man City game to get the Sunday slot, no idea if they keep the Friday game but maybe we get that or the Monday. for me, all four games should be completed Sat/Sun, and the draw done on Sunday evening

I did read that they are waiting to see what happens in Europe next week, but that's a way off still.

3pm 4th April I've got.
