Not sure what you dislike more... Levy or full stops!12,13,19,20 Feb possible dates, because as runners up we will play the first leg at home, March dates could have been the case had we won the group, but that ship sailed a long time ago and went after the first 3 Champions League fixtures, but hey ho, up until Tuesday night earlier this week when the final whistle went in the San Siro most of us and that includes Levy and our entire staff must have thought that realistically we would more likely than not end up in the Europa League, and rated our chances as outside at best, factor in that we got through with a draw makes it even more amazing, because even as outside chances go, most of us would have predicted that Inter drawing at home with us matching that would have been outside of an outside possibility, and taking that one stage further, it was looking even more of a remote possibility than even that after going down 1-0 within the first 10 minutes. Levy surely realises that we have have grabbed a chance of getting another shot at having Champions League football in the new stadium that he must have privately thought had gone for this season, and this will give us renewed incentives for getting the job complete, if ever there needed to be. This give a possible variation of 8 days as to when this fixture will be played, could be really pivotal in the ultimate outcome as to whether this dream comes off and I suspect most of us hope that the fixture schedule is kind enough to pencil it in for the 20th February rather than the 12th February as we may end up needing those extra 8 days if events go to the wire(excuse the pun on reference to wiring)......
