As per fucking usual it's OUR tie that would be changed to accomodate rags because....errrrr..... they are on telly.

Fuck that. We need to stand firm on this one.

No way should we move to a Tuesday, only one day's rest after the Derby. If they try to make us do that we should just flatly refuse. One sure way to get knocked out of the league cup would be to play it then. The rags don't even give a shit about the competition, they even played a weakened side in the final ffs. Let them & Sky move the game.

Completely agree...If we have to move to the Tuesday i'll be fucking livid...This is our major chance at some silverware and Fulham are not the easiest team to play against even with a decent rest

Tell GMP to go fuck themselves!

SEX PEST BOLLOX
Football star Dimitar Berbatov has been threatened by a gangster for sending flirty texts to his lover, it was claimed last night.

The £30million Manchester United striker allegedly made a series of great passes to model Nikoleta Lozanova, who was Playmate of the Year in his Bulgarian homeland in 2006.

Her boyfriend, Georgi "The Head" Stoilov - a mobster with a reputation for extreme violence - was furious when told of suggestive messages.

The gangster replied to the texts warning Berbatov to keep clear for his own good, according to a Bulgarian magazine.

Stoilov became head of one of his country's most feared clans when his father Stoil Stoilov and his minders were wiped out by a bomb in a lift in 2004.

Berbatov, 28, has been dating Elena Shtilianov on and off for three months and there is talk of pregnancy and marriage.

Friends of Berbatov dismissed Nikoleta, 31 - a former lover of Liverpool reserve goalkeeper Nikolai Mihailov - as "a fantasist".

They claim she invented the texts to wind up Stoilov, and that Berbatov was "surprised" to receive threats from the mobster.

Berbatov was quoted as saying: "I've met her once, when she was with Nikolai, but nothing happened."

A book last year claimed Berbatov was kidnapped by a warlord trying to "persuade" him to switch teams when he was 18.

After Mihailov split from Nikoleta, he said she was like an old Eastern-bloc Trabant boneshaker car compared with his new "Ferrari" girlfriend.

The next day his £170,000 Ferrari was attacked with acid.

United and Berbatov's agent would not comment.
