The Footie Thread

With better players and manager that we have now.

Seriously do you think it’s an advantage to play two games or four games ?

After the way Man Utd played after having over 3 weeks off, I'm going to go with the 4 game option

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s not answering the question!

Has anyone made a fuss about Strasbourg also having their match postponed?

You can’t complain if you didn’t ask.

Why would anyone complain about Strasbourg


The Prem clubs are not going to ask for games to be postponed mainly because it’s not going to be allowed and other clubs would be up in arms

Teams have big squads to cope with playing in multiple comps - no one should be getting games postponed

Strasbourg had their league match postponed to help them in the Europa, they joined forces with PSG.

So why didn’t all the English Clubs put a joint bid in to the PL?

That way none would of been singled out.

It’s like whining about Rory practising at Augusta, English teams could of tried to get the same prep as PSG but didn’t bother.

You don’t ask, you don’t get.

What about the clubs not in Europe that have their games affected

You know exactly what the reaction would be

Postponing games in the Prem is not going to happen - be realistic

Again though, I’ve said for years the PL should be doing more to help our teams in Europe when they reach the later stages.

PSG & Strasbourg approached their FA, PSG also did it last year. If our Clubs are not willing to at least try and stand up to our PL then stop moaning, nothing’s going to change.

PSG and any other French Club will do this sgain next year if they reach the same stage, regardless of who they play.

 

[clubchamp98]

You played 1 more game than them, they had a break between the 2 Legs.

Why didn’t LPool ask for the Fulham fixture to be postponed?

I know what the answer would be NO.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I know what the answer would be NO.

If you never ask.......You might be surprised

Lots of PL games have been changed due to clashes with other competitions

How many of them were at the clubs request

How many were “postponed” a number of weeks to ensure the club had no games inbetween European game

They are games that have moved from a Saturday to a Sunday due to the clubs playing the Thursday which has been happening for years

 

[Arthur Wedge]

But is that just moved from a Saturday to the Sunday?

That’s exactly what they are - same with games moved for telly

Still helps the club in Europe

It's semantics at the end of the day, one up man ship. I don't agree with Phil on alot of things. But this is just like saying grass is green, then someone else saying it's a differnet shade of green.

But hey ho, hope you all enjoy youselfs.
