Saturday football

[Coffee]

"A magnificent couple of footballing days are in store, with two FA Cup semis and some serious fixtures in both the Premier League and the Championship. Arsenal or Liverpool can overtake Man C at the top while the Blues strut their stuff at Wembley. Sunday sees Coventry take on Man U. And they say the romance of the Cup is dead. It’s not. Who were the last side from outside the top division to have won the FA Cup? At the bottom, Sheff U and Burnley will meet in what’s likely to be a dress rehearsal for next season. Mind you, a Burnley win would see the gap between them and Forest, one place above the dotted line, reduce to just three points. That would bring late hope to the Clarets. Everton and Forest also meet in another vital bottom of the table clash, made more meaningful by Luton hosting Brentford who have little or nowt to play for. The Championship is as tight as ever with Ipswich, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton scrabbling for the top two places. Tuesday sees Leicester take on the Saints in what could be a truly vital contest with massive ramifications for both sides. The Foxes host the Baggies, in fifth place, in Saturday’s early game. At the bottom, Rotherham are gone, which leaves Sheff Wed, Huddersfield, Birmingham, Stoke and QPR separated by three points with three to play and two relegation places to resolve. *SATURDAY* FA CUP SEMI-FINAL MANCHESTER CITY vs CHELSEA (1715) Man C win. PREMIER LEAGUE LUTON TOWN vs BRENTFORD (1500) Home win. SHEFFIELD UNITED vs BURNLEY (1500) Draw. WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs ARSENAL (1930) Away win. *SUNDAY* FA CUP SEMI-FINAL COVENTRY CITY vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1530) Coventry win. You can dream. PREMIER LEAGUE EVERTON vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1330) Home win. ASTON VILLA vs BOURNEMOUTH (1500) Home win. CRYSTAL PALACE vs WEST HAM UNITED (1500) Draw. FULHAM vs LIVERPOOL (1630) Away win. *TUESDAY* ARSENAL vs CHELSEA (2000) Home win. *WEDNESDAY* WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs BOURNEMOUTH (1945) Home win. CRYSTAL PALACE vs NEWCASTLE UNITED (2000) Draw. EVERTON vs LIVERPOOL (2000) Away win. MANCHESTER UNITED vs SHEFFIELD UNITED (2000) Home win. *THURSDAY* BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs MANCHESTER CITY (2000) Away win."

"My sub-sea cable-laying friend (rampant, entitled Liverpool fan, who's just arrived back in Thailand), our mutual doctor friend (rampant & entitled Man U fan, known affectionately as Mau Doc in the village (he's driving, so exciting biting on the way home)) and myself are going down to a bar in Buri Ram to watch the Man U/Coventry game. To be quite honest, I've no real interest in the game (apart from having placed a bet on a Coventry/Chelsea final), but the distracting totty is likely to be first class, whatever happens. So, not really football focused, but I might well score tonight, if no one else does, which may well trigger a few posters on here."

"Lenny old boy,Luton v Brentford, Coventry v Man U, Everton v Forest, and Everton v Liverpool are all worth getting a little bit excited about. IMHO."

[Leonard Hatred]

"Can't get excited about any of that Season's petered out now innit blud. Damp squib fam. West Ham ain't gonna get a European spot and Man City are gonna win the league at a canter like everyone knew they would all along My only interest now is hoping Everton get relegated, which they fucking won't. Cunts."
