El clasico brought forward

This does take pi$$ really and just shows how thick the FA are.
Being a pool fan i appreciate a good European night and don't bemoan other English clubs success in Europe, so good luck chelsea even if you have the incompetent FA trying to throw a spanner inn the works

cheers

I don't get it thought. Where's the problem?
Why don't we field our reserves or kids, lose game 34-0 thus feck it all up for the FA.
They should learn their lesson then, no?

Who cares about the FA cup...

Well we can only live in hope.
Should the unthinkable happen and we get past Barca and actually win the CL we should ensure there is no reflected glory to the FA.
Arab of Manchester. I suggest you read up on Man U's history.You see had it not been for the Football League then Munich disaster would never have happened.
But you laugh if you want

Don't know why that's being brought up to be honest..

arab of manc - his point was the fa was corrupt even then

The FL who were the FAPL predecessors would not allow Man U to postpone the Saturday match after a European night. This forced Man U to fly back when normally they would travel by rail and ferry.
They never gave a stuff about any other tournament then and still don't now. To hell with the consequences

I actually thought we stood a good chance against a tired Barca team who have just faced Pepe and co. i'm more sceptical now

I admit we fecked up in Europe
-----------------------------
You faked up twice in europe

You would think that if not for the glory of English football, they'd do it for our coefficients.

I'm not saying we'll win, with or without rest. But give us a fair chance FFS
