So thats Chelsea Liverpool and Stoke in the League, City in the CC and Olympiacos in the Champs league, 5 BIG GAMES IN 15 DAYS, cannot see RVP playing against us at all
In our favour is the fact that both Clichy and Bendtner have picked up injuries in the past week and are likely to be out.
Problem is they are likely to have qualified for the Champs Lge Knock-Out phase before the Olympiacos game6. Just hope Chelsea kick the living shit out of them the saturday before the Cup tie - we have Hull City on the saturday before, with hopefully the Karaoke king comedian and half-time team-talk pitchman Brown still in charge.
I know we have Chelsea on the saturday following at home, but if you gave me the choice I'd rather win the cup tie than the league game - its only been 28 years and counting since we were in a semi-final, and after 9 Q-F defeats on the bounce (Carling, FA and Uefa) since 1981 its about bloody time we won one of the buggers.
