For the team the fa cup game is better on the monday. More rest after thursday europa game..

Kill the tie on the thursday. Beat chelsea, second string in europa second leg, beat Boro

that assumes we can kill the europa tie. and we don't even know who we are playing or h/a. they could have waited til tomorrow and taken the club's preference into account.

And they wonder why English teams do shit in Europe

That's an absolute joke that is. Imagine if we end up having to go to Ukraine or something on Thursday for a game.

Then it's another silly %@#$&!s early kick off on Sunday away at middlesbrough.

The players are going to be stretched to breaking point pretty soon.

New to sky pal?

It must be a real drag flying for a few hours in utter comfort and playing a 90minute game they train each week for..

The poor little things.

Thursday monday thursday is fine. If we are away second £#%&!ing miles away with boro early sunday then that isnt ideal.

That said i think all this is in the players heads they all should be able to cope.

I don't think anybody is suggesting they're doing this under duress pal, it's more to do with top level athletes suffering from inevitable burn out.

£#%&! the fa cup. play the kids n rooney.

europa for the CL next year
