I wouldn't sweat it - Chelsea had 2 days rest over Sheffield going into that game and we all know what happened there.

I dont understand any of this

is this something to do with the beatles?

what is there not to get?

Fat frank believes playing Saturday, Tuesday, Sunday is 3 games in a week, just like United playing Monday Thursday, Sunday in a week

It's a week argument

Yes we’ve played the same number of games, but the point is they’ve had 2 days more rest before the next game between us.

Also they played at home, in London, and next play at Wembley, in London. Very little travel required. United have played down in London, and presumably travelled back to Manchester, and now need to travel down to London again - all within 72 hours, which gives very little actual rest time.

They get paid enough and do this often enough for it to not be that big a deal, but it’s not ideal preparation for a cup semi final, and in a game of fine margins it’s not exactly a level playing field is it.

Chelsea have nearly 5 days between their last game and the SF.

United have less than 3 days between their last game and the SF.

Clearly advantageous to Chelsea to have the extra rest and match prep. Only an idiot would argue otherwise.

What does it matter, VAR will give you the advantage as usual

1) No one cares about the FA Cup compared to getting to the CL this season - I have no issue with United winning the game tbh.

2) You have had a day's advantage for 3 PL games in a row which are much more important

3) Shut up

Point proven.

Only an idiot would complain about another team having extra rest when you’ve had more rest nearly every gameweek since the restart

This scenario, if Chelsea lose to Liverpool and united and Leicester both win their games, In the final game between Leicester and united, a draw would see them both finish in the top four

United had four days rest between Southampton and Palace, we had three between Sheffield United and Norwich.

Before that, we only had three days rest between Watford and Palace. By contrast, United had four days rest between Aston Villa and Southampton.

In the fixtures before that, United had a four day gap between Brighton and Brighton, we only had a three day gap (again) between Watford and West Ham.

I don't make this point to be the victim, far from it. I want United fans to shut up and stop complaining.

You too would find something to complain about if you had the misfortune of having to wake up next to my miserable Mrs every morning.

Solskjaer taking Lampard down. It is funny the team done badly by VAR the most is Man Utd. We would be above Man City if VAR decisions were correct.

How did Noble not get sent off for that? Joe Cole esque.

oh, you're off again.

and to be fair to hafi, the noble challenge is a red 9 times out of 10, completely reckless studs up.

seems to have been looked at by VAR and not given, but presumably, like the romeu challenge the other day, this doesn't show up in the stats you keep repeating.

Yeah no other club has had those moments eh. And not forgetting the clear Palace pen midweek as an example. No matter, still 14 decisions better off than us. No bias my arris!!
