It's absolutely criminal that the cup final is not the last game of the season.Looks like 17 May ... presumably the teams involved then have to postpone that weekend's PL game to the midweek before the PL last day on 25 May.
I hope they've left spare midweek for 6th round and semi final postponements.
Not being arrogant, but say we manage to beat a PL team in the semi on Saturday - guaranteed that's who we are drawn against, on the back of Champions league, fighting Arse for the PL, usual tiredness and injuries. Then to have to shift focus for the FA Cup final, its totally ill thought out and benefits only mid table clubs - step forward Rags and the underdogs.
It's a rubbish decision.

The Premier league / FA / whoever, always seem to want to make it as hard as possible for any club going deep into competitions, unlike in Europe where fixtures are moved to help

Led to believe the Carabao Cup final will be a bit later (mid March) due to the extra UEFA games.
Yes it is ... and the two legs of semi-final are a month apart.
Already have my next season calendar in the works ;)
Here's a sneak preview:
We won’t be in the latter stages anyway, Pep will be playing a very much second string, we’ve just got to sacrifice the League cup next season, absolutely no choice with 2 more Champions League games, players back late from the Euro’s and the World Club Championship next summer. The players are going to be absolutely knackered, also bear in mind the PL ridiculous new financial rules we’re at potentially crisis point.
