Cant see one single reason why we shouldnt go balls out both today and tuesday

rest players? why?

if certain players cant give 100% in two of our most important games of the season I would have to question their attitude not to mention their fitness

if its a question of affecting stamina tone down on training...as far as injuries go we wouldnt play any matches at all if we're that scared

I love posts like this. Newsflash: Today isn't one of the most important games of the season. The two games against Barca, the league cup final and every single league game between now and the end of the season are more important. In fact, unless we win or lose the league with a game or so to go, today will be the least important game of the season and that is why they'll be changes.

The two things that can go wrong today are injuries to key players or a replay. Other than that the game is a bonus at this point. Yes we'll go all out to win but it won't be with a full strength team.

So with Sunderland winning today, if we get a result which is not a draw against Chelski would that mean we can play the league game when FA Cup replays will be due?


I would say yes. Wednesday 5th March.

Newsflash...its the most important game in the FA cup to date...no second chances in knockout comps in case you hadnt realised

If you had qualified your comment by saying 'In my opinion the FA cup is not important' then you might have a clearer point but only in your opinion....

I happen to think otherwise...

Newsflash: You said this was one of our two most important games of the season. It's not. Luckily for you MP agrees with you and Zab, Kompany, Silva and Yaya are all playing. That's me on tenterhooks for the game then.

newsflash: its the most important game in the FA cup...maybe you can think of other more important ones?

I dont see why MP wouldnt think the same...any competition that this particular group of players can win together will be invaluable in the seasons to come

So I presume the villa game will be rearranged as well.

This is insane, we will be 3 games behind our title contenders. We will be playing a lot of league games in a small span of days. That said it could be helpful to know our target before hand for the points needed.

Simple old game really!! - I always think actual points on the board are better than hypothetical points..
 
Re: Rearranged Fixture vs. Sunderland.

There could be a point in the season where we have three games in hand on Chelsea, with Sunderland Villa and the possibility of Liverpool all to be rearranged if we get to the FAC semi.<br /><br />-- Sun Feb 16, 2014 7:38 pm --<br /><br />

Three games a week? What Monday, Thursday, Sunday?

Or two games a week?

St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:
If it is true that it cant be arranged during CL nights then the only 3 weeks that the game can be played are:-

Week commencing the 14th April.
Week commencing the 5th May.
Week commencing the 12th May.

Not sure what happens as regards FA Cup replays. I take it they can be played on the same night as CL and it is just domestic league games that can't?

15th or 16th April for Sunderland (re-arranged)?

Any news yet?

(Nothing on the OS.)

...oh and what about the Villa game scheduled for 8th March (still listed on the OS!). We're at home to Wigan in the cup on that date (or the day after) now!
 
Re: Rearranged Fixture vs. Sunderland.

Does anyone know if we are trying to negotiate with UEFA for permission to play the game on a CL evening? Due to the exceptional circumstances they might let us do this if we have an early kick off.
