    But it's just silly. Apart from anything else, it means the game won't end until, let's see, 20:40, 15 minutes for half time, that's 21:00 by the time they get going, so final whistle at 21:50! That's almost 10 o'clock! On a weeknight, that's fúcking bed time.

    Evening games kick-off at 19:30. Why is that so hard to understand?
    My Dad always asks me what time Champions League games kick off at

    If he lost to Spurs then the pain or embarrassment of defeat for some will again cause major unrest among support and the media will again milk it. The timing so close to the end of the season my well be crucial.

    Then again he wins and there you have it, new deal.

    An interesting end to what has been a rather shíte FA Cup campaign.

    Game will be over within the half hour old man, retire for the night and check the score in the morning with the butler.

    My dad still thinks Joel Campbell is related to Sol Campbell as I told him he was his nephew.

    Yeah I suppose depends on how we lose, Penalty shootout fair enough.
    If Tottenham for example where to rip us to shreds it's game over.

    I think any time before 10 is reasonable. Anything that goes to extra time or pens is unacceptable, however.

    It's 11 v 11, sw. Anything could happen.

    I once played for a pub team which was drawn against British Telecom in some cup competition or other. BT! Those blokes spent all day training, and they had about 50,000 lads to choose from. Thy might as well have been professional. But we reasoned that they were mortal, just like us, and we went out there and gave it our all.

    We lost 11-1, of course, but I scored so I didn't give a fúck.

    Took a long time for my dad to stop calling Sol Campbell 'Kevin'

    Mind you, they did both have big fat arses.
