Beeb To Screen Gunners Clash

Last updated : 18 February 2003 By Rich Godden

The match has been scheduled for Saturday 8th of March, with an unusual kickoff time of 5:15pm.

This is of course Greenwich meantime, our overseas readers will have to check their local listings to find out more information.

The repeat of last season's FA Cup Final is a potentially explosive tie. My question is: why play it on a Saturday night? London will be absolutely manic (as always!) and it is just looking for trouble if you ask me.

What's wrong with Sunday night? Or Saturday lunchtime? The Fa have blundered with this one and I for one hope that the fans can behave themselves, because this cup tie has the makings of a classic!

Come on Chelsea!
