Title Race

I had to make an unnecessay FF change before that match started, didn't I?

Me mam used to say if you put your money near your mouth it always works out in the long run.

Lions are awesome, but I prefer tigers.

meh, both taste like chicken.

I took Hazard out on Sunday to get some city players in.

Pulling the trigger early worked out well for once!

That's another **** thing about it happening. Most people who were willing to sick with Hazard will have no choice but to swap him for a City player, meaning most teams will be very similar again.


Anyway, the Title Race. I see the PL have confirmed they definitely will change our match with Chelsea if they are due to play on the following Tuesday. Has this happened before?

The change will actually suit my weekend plans if it's moved to Saturday, but would have preferred the cunts to play 2 games in 3 days.

****ers better not move it any further than 1 day.

[RichC]

Yeah it seems the PL will move either our game or the Sunderland game to help them in the CL

I can't see how they're going to manage it though as logistically it's going to be a nightmare with fans already brought tickets and hotels etc.... based on it being a Sunday plus the tv deals in place won't take kindly to a fixture change at this late notice either.

[PTP]

it all depends on the draw.

chelsea i think have games scheduled on sunday's.

they won't be asked to play a sunday and then champions league game on a tuesday.

so if the draw comes out the hat, so their tuesday champions league game follows our game, then our game will move - i'd hope only to the saturday.

[Fosterbloke]

That would give Hazard more time to recover

I don't think they'll move the fixture. Sky won't be able to show it if it moves to Saturday because BT have Saturday games don't they? And it can't move midweek because of CL. I think Chelsea will just have to suck it up, if nothing else it will give Jose Pulis something else to moan about.

It will be, but i suppose it's no different for fixture changes due to domestic cup matches.

I think somebody on here suggested that we'd swap with the Saturday night fixture. I can't see that though as that would surely be taking the piss for the supporters of that match.

Yeah, that never happens...

The Saturday night game is Utd-Norwich on Sky. I don't know if they can move that to the Sunday at such late notice without permission. Second half of the season, when the broadcasters have free choice on the televised games, they usually give six weeks notice on kick off times. Maybe Sky will try a double header with us kicking off at eight.

If sky have the Saturday evening game maybe they'll just swap. Its no later notice than moving our game.

[RedReet]

But there is no reason to swap their game, so I don't see either club, the FA or the PL agreeing.

Premier League are moving our game though, not Sky. Why would United agree to move a game for Sky at this stage?
