What To Watch: March's Football Calendar
Spring is just around the corner and the flowers of football are in full bloom.
March is the time of year that, like the weather, football starts heating up: there's a few quarter finals appearing amongst the rabble as we accelerate into the latter stages of European and Domestic cups.
A particularly crucial North London derby kicks things off on the 5th at 12:45pm (GMT), with another 'derby' to look forward to later on as Dortmund take on Bayern on the same day.
The Champions League whips us into a foaming frenzy on the 8th March as Real Madrid take on Roma at home - 2-0 down, the travelling Romans are playing mostly for pride at this point but an upset isn't unthinkable. In fact, we'll be praying they do as we'll be amongst the Roman tifosi for the next episode of #UCLAwayDays.
And stop the presses - everyone's actually interested in the Europa League again after Dortmund drew Tottenham and United drew Liverpool. Watch them slug it out on the 10th.
After that there's more Champions League as Arsenal head to Barcelona for another potentially unpleasant trip to the Camp Nou (we'll be there too) and the month rounds off with a bumper bunch of international friendlies. Cushty!
