If we manage to beat Marseille in the UEFA Cup then we have a major fixture problem :-
23 Feb Marseille Away UEFA Cup
26 Feb Fulham Home PL
4 March Newcastle Away PL
7 March West Ham Away FA Cup
9 March UEFA Round of 16 (could be HOME or AWAY)
11 March West Ham Home PL (would be postponed until 12th if still in UEFA Cup)
16 March UEFA Round of 16 (could be HOME or AWAY)
18 March Middlesbrough Away PL (would be postponed until 19th if still in UEFA Cup)
That's EIGHT games in 24 days. including FOUR games in 8 or 9 days between the 4th and 11th or 12th March.
How the hell are we going to manage that with our small squad, If we are still in the UEFA Cup maybe the West Ham Replay will be postponed until the rest of the teams are playing the Quarter Final Ties, i.e. 20-23 March. Or perhaps they should bring it forward to the 28th or 29th Feb!
What a mess we are getting into fixtures wise :(
