Im still nit sure that's not a bluff by mouinho. Pool players are only human. All week they'll be thinking it'll be a nice easy game, the. 30 mins before kick off they see a full line up. Could put them off their stride.
Who is going to win the premiership title.

Dnt to get me wrong, I agree with you that all should be done to help English teams ineurope. Surely and English winner makes the product more attractive for sky. I just don't think the onus should be on Liverpool to agree to it. It premierleague had told sky it was a sat evening kick off then pool would of had to accept it. Think they're pretty handcuffed due to sky money.

Much as I dislike a lot of what the FA do and don't do, it's neither the FA's Rule, nor something I believe the FA can/should get involved in. It's each League's role to set the rules of its competition, so 'blame' the EPL.
Organising teams to avoid/allow for clashes is a key part of a manager's job. Maureen can complain about it all he likes, but that's just his mind-games that every other manager has to 'manage' too. I'm pretty sure most would love to be in the position of having to do so at this stage of the year. It would be a new experience for most of them!
Liverpool, of course, haven't had such a 'problem' for a while, but will do next season. Arsenal only tend to have the problem in about Feb/March!

Are we that shrewd
Tis a bit like everyone saying we would park a bus at Man City and then ran them ragged

Exactly, people may not like mourinho, like many didn't like SAF. BUt he's still one of the best managers of this generation.
very true, but don't the fines still go to the fa? Even if it's premierleague rules broken? Not sure tbh, I thought premierleague is still fa sanctioned and therefor it's their place to fine rule accordingly? Who fined wolves, utd and Blackpool in past?
just checked, prem do the fines.

Teams never used to play Sunday before champs league but with the extra money goes extra power to sky .
Would of made more sense though to have swapped the utd Norwich match from sat evening to sun aft and liv chelski play sat evening?
This would of happened had the champs lge match been Tuesday. ....

Its not that hard to work out
Its getting into a bit of an obsession now :rofl:
Think it's very easy to work out
And in 2007 Liverpool were not in the hunt for the title
And when Man Utd played West Ham I believe the title was sown up already
Chelsea are still going for the title - they have spent millions on players so surely they can still put out a multi million pound side
The perfect scenario would be us beating them then Atletico knocking them out
Can't see why the FA should help out teams in CL when it's the prem that deal with the fixtures and they have never changed to help a team out before and three teams have still managed to win the CL
Isn't it pleasant that we are all discussing things and even though some of us don't agree with each other, there's a sense of civility in the air, I wonder what is missing

For someone who is supposed to be ignoring me you still can't help talking about me
What a 3-day event it could be, Liverpool on Sunday, the 1st leg of the FA Youth Final on Monday against Fulham and then the CL semi-final 2nd leg on Tuesday.
Our youth have a great pedigree with the Youth Cup and look very strong for it again this year.

As a neutral, and all joking aside, I think it's a real shame the way Chelsea have been hit by injuries and suspensions ahead of the Liverpool game because it was shaping up to be a cracker. Hope Jose still has a go at it, I know I wouldn't be happy my team giving up a chance of the title so near the endgame.

A little 'snipey' perhaps, but that's what managing a squad of 25 is about, so I sort of agree.

And that's a lot snipey - but the nature of (some) football fans.
I tend to support ANY English team in CL.
Just remember that this time next year (if you are good/lucky enough). Certainly in Feb/March. But I agree - as i posted earlier - it's not the FA's role. In Rugby, there are even Club matches on the same days as Internationals - and i don't believe there are any deferrals allowed. I find that a little daft!

I don't support any other club but Liverpool - will never understand why people say "support and English club in Europe"
Rugby is a lot easier to deal with because when it's internationals it's only at the maximum 6-8 international teams playing in one weekend so teams lose prob around 5 players maybe less
In football teams lose anything from 15 upwards because there are a great deal amount of international teams playing on one day.
The prem didn't help us out in previous years when we were in the CL so don't expect them to in the future

I think you'll find that Jose is seeing the PL title as something that is not going to happen, if they had won against Sunderland then it was still anyone's. They can only get to 84 points now, so that means that Liverpool need 4 points from 3 games and City need 10 points from 4 games to finish ahead of Chelsea as both their goal differences are far superior.
Jose is being sensible IMO and looking at the CL now as the only trophy he can realistically win now.

Yes, quite pragmatic, but if Chelsea beat Liverpool they need 4 points from 2 games, not so cut and dried. OK, there's still Man City but I don't believe they won't lose any of those four games so still all to play for.... but only if Chelsea beat Liverpool....
