I know that two of us are going on Sunday, is anyone else going to the games?

 

[Cosimo]

\0 bit miffed with the revised KO time after I applied #mad#

I'm also annoyed that this seemed to be on Harry's mind on Monday.. He obviously wants his swan song.

The FA can't upset Sky who are showing Man U at 16:00 or ITV who want to have the game in prime time. The FA can’t be seen upsetting the apple cart.

It would have been sensible having the semi-final at a reasonable time or on a day that would help us with our CL semi-final on Wednesday. But you’ll never get that from the FA as money from TV contracts is all they care about.

My ticket has arrived special delivery so I can now relax and look forward to the match.

Bit of an odd question - I need to use the A406 on Sat/Sun, will it be closed/diverted because of the games at Wembley?

Anywhere that I can find out this travel information as my googling skills seem to be failing me...

It's a main London route and will be open.

Are the circle lines going to be closed?

I swear every time I've been to the NFL they are. (I think it is the yellow one on the map )

Tube closures this weekend:

[Cosimo]

Is it closed every single weekend or just when I come ?

Just when you come.

Ivanovic had his appeal turned down and will now miss the semi-final and the games against Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers.

Carroll playing as well as ever.

 

[Cosimo]

Blimey Carroll scores, 2-1.

 

[Cosimo]

FT: Liverpool 2-1 Everton (Carroll 87 Suarez 62 - Jelavic 24)

 

[Cosimo]

Is the Spurs v Chelsea game not being broadcast live on BBC or Sky? Annoying!

You didn't read the first post.

It's live on ITV 1.

 

[Cosimo]

I can't wait to see the game. It's amost time to make a move.

 

[Cosimo]

What a wonderful sight:

is that of your lot booing the minutes silence?

None of that was filmed during the minute’s silence.

There was not only some booing but also shouting coming from the upper tier of the ground. Some of it was also coming from the other end. It was disgraceful behaviour by a very small minority of fans. Action is being taken to identify those concerned and action will be taken against them.

Barca on Wednesday

I can't wait to get that.

Then it gets worse, Arsenal (21st), Barcelona (24th), QPR (29th), Newcastle (2nd), Liverpool (5th), Liverpool (8th) and Blackburn (13th). Looks like we have a cup final with every game.

 

[Cosimo]

So we're all agreed that it crossed the line?

We've agreed with the ref.
