So someone didn’t get their envelope ‘gift’ it seems 
I reckon Spurs will do City. They’ll be more up for it as it’s their only chance of silverware this season. In fact, maybe they’ll go all the way to the final and be on the verge of their first major trophy since 2008, only to lose to us. Again.

Yes. Corrected it.
Feels a bit like this years League Cup with the teams potentially going out.
A replay for the Spurs/City match might help us in the League.

One bonus also is Chelsea play Villa which is probably going be more energy consuming than ours or you’d expect it.
And this is 3 days before the PL game.
And hopefully they lose their 2nd leg to Boro, and therefore it will be Chelseas last hope of silverware and they go all out (to win and litteraly).

Any word on what is being televised and where?
I think we’ve jumped the gun on the announcement 
2.30 sounds like a TV time as the others. I assume it will be 2.30 and 4.30 for the Sunday games.
Maybe one at 12.30.
Hmmm, can’t see anything on their website…my guess is we won’t see any news until after the conclusion of the replays as they only released news of the televised replays 2 days ago.
Sabotaging our league campaign. 
Wednesday 24th League Cup Fulham
Wednesday 31st Chelsea
Why make us play on Sunday instead of Saturday? Cunts.
It’s not too bad, given the kick off times for both and the draw being kinder to us as opposed to last time out, half and half team v Norwich then back to full strength to muller Chelsea.

Can not find anything yet but I am 100% sure they’ll give Chelsea an extra day to prepare by placing their FA Cup match on Saturday.
Funny that we knocked out Norwich out of both cups in 21/22.
They still must have traumas from Suarez.
They’ve announced in advance the last few years.
They did a drip feed a few months back but considering what they chose in the first round both these provide a shock narrative.
I think we will field a rotated squad anyway.
Of course. Looking at my app, it shows Chelsea playing at 3:00 on the 27th.
I know…shocking!
Chelsea are fucking shit. An extra day’s rest won’t change that.

All teams are playing at 3pm on that day they haven’t changed any dates.
Not sure why we announced.
Oh it’s on the Friday
I don’t care how shit they are. Anything can happen in big games.
We are without a win in the league against ‘traditional’ Top6. I know it’s for different reasons but that’s one of those reasons. Giving us disadvantages whenever they can / however they can.
At this stage of the season with the absentees we have two days make a huge difference.
Can see players like Alisson, Virgil, Gomez, Alexis and Diaz get a rest in the FA Cup but up to 5-6 players who start in the FA Cup will also start three days later against Chelsea.
Corrupt to the core. PGMOL, pundits, media, FA. Cunts

Thing is we will likely play a switched side, Chelsea if they want to proceed won’t be able to.
