    Guess the trouble and strife will be bitching again about how high the DirecTV bill is.[​IMG] [​IMG]

    Good News

    Marcel, Petit, Le Saux, and Big Ed are all back in training. Hopefully they'll be fit enough to play. We really need all four of them back badly.

    Agreed.
    It's time that Ranieri put aside all thoughts of trying to please anybody and stick with what did us so well towards the run towards xmas.

    Melchiot----Gallas---Desailly----Baba

    Gronkjaer---Petit---Lampard----Le Saux

    -----------Zola------Gudjohnsen------

    There you have it.My selection.Hard feelings for some i know.But, better to have them sulk on the sidelines rather than the pitch where 110% effort is going to be required to beat the Arse.

    Hey, have any of you folks with either Dish or DTV actually seen this match show up on the electronic programming guide? I've got Dish, and I haven't seen it show up yet, and that's making me a little nervous.

    Arsenal's previous FA Cup match, against ManUre, *did* show up on the guide at least 4 days before the match. So it makes me wonder...

    This is the official programme listing though..

    English FA Cup Quarterfinals:

    Setanta Sport Closed-circuit
    Pay-per-view: DirecTV/DISH Network/Bell ExpressVu: $15.95
    Sa Mar 8 12:15pm ET/9:15am PT LIVE *** note special time ***
    FOX Sports World (US)
    FOX Sports World Canada
    Sa Mar 15 8pm ET/5pm PT (7-day delay

    It has always proven to be correct before.

    They are talking about the Sunday match, not Saturday...but it doesn't make sense not to have it listed..

    Yeah, I'm not trying to freak anyone out about this, I'm just trying to get independent confirmation. soccertv's newsletter says it's still on, as does the site.

    The weird thing about this match and the last Arsenal match is that they're outside the scope of the 5-game package that Dish is offering.

    By the way, looks like the match is up on the DirecTV site - same link as in Clanblue's post, scroll down all the way to the bottom.

    Just to follow up, looks like Dish isn't carrying the match. soccertv just lists DirecTV, Setanta, and Bell ExpressVu. And as of this morning the match still hadn't shown up on the EPG on Dish.

    No Clan, I just have a regular season ticket but managed to get in quick on the internet. They started selling the tickets before the date and time for the game was fixed.

    Heard an anouncment on Chelsea TV and got straight on the PC.

    The modern game eh?
    Internet purchasing.
    Not like that in my time there.
    Queue at the window as early as possible or hope to get it by post.Some of my mates were away season ticket holders--i never did have a season ticket as when i was old enough to afford one i went into the army and never had the time to go--and i used to get away tickets from them.Course that was only for the big games as we had fuck all demand really for most games what with average crowds of about 20,000 (if that)

    Did get to see my share of our blue brothers in the triumvirate.Watching Linfield play in Belfast was something to behold let me tell you.

    Hasselbaink starts

    Ah well, not what i would have done.But then, i'm here and he's in charge..he he.

    Hope he's up for the bloody game and left his sulk cap at home.

    Strange how somebody can want an annual 20/30 goal scorer not to start.
    Funny ol game.
    Time for another beer.......

    well well well

    Now that makes for an interesting start.
    Still, if we were to win this we always were going to have to score the first goal.

    Time for another beer....

    Grrrrr.

    Always going to be the call

    Now if that was at the bridge the fucker would have been cautioned.

    Good save by Carlo.
    Tough game.
