So is that an advantage to us or not ??

I guess it depends when the game is rearranged to - as home club do we chose the new date ? (obviously after consulting police, fa, everton)

[falkirk goon]

This means we'll have a free weekend before the trip to Munich ..the Germans must be shitting themselves

10 days between spurs and Bayern. Can't use tiredness as an excuse Arsène!

No but we will lack a "leetle bit of sharpness"

In theory it could be but a lot depends on Sunday's result. If Spurs beat us then win the next week when we don't play, they will be 10 points clear of us with 10 matches to go (although we'd have one game in hand) and with it a huge lead and psychological advantage. However if we win and get to play Everton when they have either fallen too far back to challenge us or are involved in the Cup and have that as their priority, it could benefit us.

I'm guessing it will be rescheduled to April 16/17 since there are no possible European (haha) or FA Cup replay dates then.

Everton should beat Wigan so then it's Wednesday 17th April.

[VoiceOfReason]

So three games in eight days in that period: Norwich (H), Everton (H), Fulham (A). No doubt we'll be lacking a little bit of sharpness by the ten-minute mark in the Norwich game.

Anybody else notice that Arsenal.com was - as late as yesterday evening - unashamedly advertising Everton tickets with the original date, with absolutely no mention of the possibility of it being postponed?

[Ziegler1988]

But if they play in the FA Cup Semi on Saturday the 13th, it won't get moved. Horrible for the Everton supporters to make their travel plans that have probably already been messed about by the postponement.

[Top Londoner]

Could do with the chav scum getting a score draw tonight.

[samflitt]

The game is on the 16th or 17th of April

Why they can't just fix it for the Wednesday now and avoid the uncertainty is beyond me. If Everton need a replay in the next round = more waiting around to book flights, hotel, time off work etc. Fucking arseholes

Arseholes indeed they are mate,the game is sandwiched in between Norwich sat and Fulham sat.I just had a butchers and Fulham v Chavs from qf weekend will have to be moved too,and itll most probably be to the same midweek.Its hardly as if the extra days "rest" will make any difference Our bunch of pampered pussies will no doubt be a leetle beet jaded in the warm up for the Norwich game never mind the games to follow
