    I expect a similar-ish team as against City for Fulham. They're that useless we'll still probably beat them.

    Playing Fulham on Wednesday 10th April would have been far better for us.

    Cannot play any games that week due to Champions league...

    Same for final week of the season - we played Norwich in 2016 then.

    Southampton will probably hope we reach the final as they might need points to stay up on the 23rd.

    ..….but we're not in the Champions League. Nor are Fulham the last time I checked!!

    Yes but UEFA don't want people switching off Man Utd v Barca as they're looking for dodgy links to Watford v Fulham. They might lose tens of viewers.

    Fair point and I doubt Watford v Fulham would affect ratings but it seems domestic games cannot be played on the same night as European football.

    For now anyway...

    Assuming Fulham lose to Man City on the Saturday before we play them and Burnley and Southampton pick up points from their games that weekend, I think Fulham will be officially relegated when our reserves thrash them on April 2

    So what happens when they move European fixtures to Weekends - the latest wheeze from uefa?

    We'll play our Champions League games on the Saturday I'd guess.

    Don't you just love the fact that the internet allows information to be updated fast!

  14. Missing both of these. How unlucky that both the pencilled in later rounds of fa cup rounds fell on the same days as home games!!!

    Good to have a couple of games under the lights, though, although the evenings tend to get a bit lighter round April...

    Big Fat Don,the repulsive* looking FFC fan at the club asked me today where to park in Watford, for the game.
    I chuckled and said "St Albans and leave now".
    *Think Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz,only not quite as attractive!
