It took them ten days to decide the match dates and KO times last year so I’d be amazed if this was the case. All the authorities including TV need to sit down and discuss all options.
Liverpool are away at Atalanta on Thursday 18th so if they win today their SF will very likely be on Sunday. Man City at home to Real Madrid on the 17th.
To bookend this, I just went through passport control at Geneva airport and the guy said (in French): ‘Coventry City, good win today.’ Was loving it. What a fucking day - absolutely epic.
Just got on the plane at Geneva wearing a Cov training top. An old guy stops me and says: 'Is that the City badge?'. I said yes and I'm going back for the Wolves game. I asked him if he's a Cov fan and he replied: 'I played for Cov under Jimmy Hill, Bobby Smith.' I said I'd have a chat with him...
Eventful opening couple of minutes for Wright. Starts off by playing a pass straight into touch, then loses the ball on the edge of the box before winning it back and putting a lovely ball in between the keeper and defenders which caused a bit of panic. Good start.
Know tickets are tricky for this one but I have flights booked next weekend. If anyone drops out and has a spare then I’d happily buy a couple of beers on top of the ticket price. Have got tickets for The Empire as a back-up option. Cheers.
Bit harsh saying silly disciplinary bits. I still can’t see what he did wrong v Wednesday and the second red was one of them, he was exposed and got it wrong. Has looked calm otherwise.
Yeah I mentioned one first-half slide-rule pass to Wright that took out four Rotherham players. I think he’s class, should be captain and can lead the team for years.
