Semi-Final Saturday

The FA Cup used to have a weekend to itself - no more. Now, the oldest knock-out competition in the world shares the Saturday afternoon in April with a full schedule of Premiership and Championship matches. It's the league up first, including the relegation dogfight between Norwich and Fulham first and then its followed at 12:07 by Arsenal v. Wigan from Wemberley. Join me for all the action!
