They can't even move the Liverpool game as West Ham will be playing on the Thursday. 

 

What if our Blackburn game gets moved to the Saturday? 

Not sure they will as They have already moved the Blackburn game once for tv

Ah that is properly shite isn't it. We were due one tbf.

No doubt they will schedule it to favour Liverpool

 

 

Interesting! I guess Blackburn away may have to move then. Liverpool and West Ham both play in Europe on the previous Thursday, so have to play league matches on Sunday 24th. Could do with this being announced asap, ofc it won’t 

[AjcW]

On the plus side the away end is better now  

[Pinfox]

Assume Faes will be playing for Liverpool on the night!

[hejammy]

At least we won't have to dust off the old FM radio for this one. Defo be a stream for this! 

[Foxmeister]

Interesting conundrum, maybe the fact it's the football league's competition might sway it, I don't hold out much hope.

It's on sky sports, sky will never let that happen 

They've moved TV games before based on European competitions. Just probably never had to factor in a Championship side messing it up

That would be the logical thing to do, won’t happen though. We’ll be playing twice in 48 hours. Absolute joke

Yeah I think it gets played on Weds with the Blackburn game not moving.

Bet you we play on the Wednesday and then have to pay Blackburn 48 hours later.

 

Put out the kids Enzo.

[Lambert09]

at least blackburn are still in the cup themselves

The only non-Prem team to be drawn away to a Prem side. 

 

True if you don't include Fulham vs Norwich and Bournemouth vs Stoke

[RonnieTodger]

Two tickets for our annual crushing Anfield defeat please 

[Nod.E]

Who cares? 

 

We're not good enough to win it and we can go out early with our heads held high. 

 

Fewer fixtures for our players to get injured in. 

 

Full focus on getting out of this league, tyvm

Good point. Forgot about that!

[TheLittleBigMan]

We'll have these lot. They are dog sh*t.

[AjcW]

Would assume this will be a decent allocation if they've got the stand fully open?

The smart thing to do, would be to make sure us and Blackburn at least play on the same night to avoid any advantage - or move the game to Saturday evening game - but maybe too much common sense required.

[filthyfox]

Well... thats going to be a complete and utter dicking

[goody2028]

Another trip to hear “fvck the tories”? I think not. 

[Ian Nacho]

If we have to play Wednesday Friday, we should boycott it. 

[coolhandfox]

Still not got over the last league Cup game there.

 

That was such a crap drive back....

[Finn Claw II]

This will test the 100% record if it is still going.  
 

Hopefully Klopp will pull a masterstroke and play the kids’ kids saving the actual kids for the next round.

Hope the coach has room for the mountain of vaseline!

I agree that’s what they will do even though both Liverpool games are at home for them and they don’t play again till Saturday teatime, we will then have a trip to Liverpool and back and then again for the Blackburn game unless we do the obvious choice which is we stay up there for the Blackburn game on the Friday

We'd be doing great if we got to end of Sept and 100% still going.

I recon it'll go this Saturday - surely it can't  keep going on?
