No game is easy for a cup quarter final.

More worried about it being on Sunday. A full Mother’s Day programme already planned including my daughter’s drama performance and lunch with wife, daughter and my mum.

Looks like you'll have to send your eldest with the beer money.

Just don't give us a Sunday game TV companies, as it's Mother's Day and I'm kinda gonna be double booked that day

You’ll get another Mother’s Day next year but maybe not another FA cup quarter final home tie

Won’t be Sunday as we have a league game on the Tuesday

I want palace soon. To meet them in the final comes with a 100 years of bragging rights. To much stress!

Invicta · 2025-03-02T20:12:57+0000

Forest of course!!

Well we currently have Villa on the Tuesday, so either our game is Saturday or Villa moves.

You know Mrs GB. She’s a fair and reasonable woman who understands my football addiction. She’d also put my balls in a vice if I missed Whirlwind’s acting debut and left her with my mother.

100%

But think of the upside. Tantalising isn't it?

That was a decent draw for us, it'll probably be Forest, but being at home really helps.

My money is on the Friday 8pm slot then.

That sounds like her. Yes, Mrs GB is a fabulous woman, forthright and thoroughly reasonable with it. Although she may not fancy another night out on the lash with me. I think it took her ten years to recover from the last one. Then again, we were young. These days I'd be offering her a cup of tea and a biscuit rather than a pint of Echo Falls.

Saturday tea time would be a nice kick off.

Pre draw 6/1, post draw 5/1. It’s a good draw.

Particularly for someone who had £20 on us @ 26/1

They never have Friday games following international break

dangull · 2025-03-02T20:42:00+0000

I would guess that a neutral football fan might have less interest in Brighton v Forest (Ipswich) than the other ties

Maybe that will affect the game's TV schedule.

SpongebobSquarepants · 2025-03-02T20:43:25+0000

I would guess at Saturday at 8pm again.

Forest are on tv on the Tuesday so doubt that is moved ruling out Sunday

If there’s a Friday night match, surely they’ll make that Fulham v Palace given the travel. I know TV companies normally don’t seem to care about this but I think in this case they’d do the decent thing.

I admire your optimism.............. and I hope you're right.

Though others have pointed out its after an international break so perhaps there’ll be no Friday night match at all.

Eeyore · 2025-03-02T21:09:40+0000

It looks like there are games played the following week for all of the teams except Preston.

All on Tuesday, apart from Manchester City and Crystal Palace.

So I'm going for Fulham v Crystal Palace and Bournemouth v Manchester City to be Sunday.

I'm always right on these things. Except when I'm not.

Seen that as well. The pessimist in me is now thinking 8pm Saturday, but hopefully it'll be an earlier slot.
