LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The United one should've been expected tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 2,275 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thought the United game would be on at 12:45 on a Saturday tbh.I bet we will play after Utd and Arsenal on the sunday against Newcastle, more pressure on us, great.Unless one of them are playing on a Monday, yes. United had to play at 4 after we played Liverpool, with a far tougher game, So we can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I love when we play on Sunday since I usually have a training around 4pm on Saturday so I miss some of our games ( which I always watch later ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 If we're on at 1.30pm on the Sunday, expect Arsenal-United to be on at four. More pressure on them.There is absolutely no pressure on Chelsea in the Premier League. We won't finish lower than third (City are on the decline with Tevez out of form and short on fitness, and Tottenham are suffering post-European hangovers), and we aren't expected to win the title. Thus, we can take it game by game and finish second, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Newcastle fixture was moved to accomodate for the FA Cup Final Seems someone cocked up at the FA when deciding the Final date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Newcastle fixture was moved to accomodate for the FA Cup Final Seems someone cocked up at the FA when deciding the Final date.Its because no other English game should be on at the same time as the Cup final. Every game was moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Its because no other English game should be on at the same time as the Cup final. Every game was moved.Yeah, hence their cock up for not anticipating that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Its because of the CL final being at Wembley this year and theres some sort of UEFA rule which means you can't use the pitch for a certain amount of time before the game.I suppose they could have held it on the first weekend of June, unless theres internationals that week?
