Wtf is that about. Just because Arsenal are used to the Europa League fixtures, why should we be subjected to their level?

Beat me to it Notts, was just about to say advantage Arsenal if its on a a Thursday night.

FFS, me and my brother have tickets to Brighton game thinking sky wouldn't be interested in it!!!

When the fuck is a PL game ever played on a Thursday night!!! Then Chelsea on the Sunday, they're having a fucking laugh!

Or is it because we have the LC Final on 25 Feb, giving us a little more time to recover?

On a similar note, if we beat Cardiff at weekend we are looking at some serious congestion in game days. At present we have:

Cardiff 28 Jan
Brom 31 Jan
Burnley 3 Feb
Leicester 10 Feb
Basel 13 Feb
FA Cup 5th Round approx17 Feb
LC Final 25 Feb
Arsenal 1 Mar
Chelsea 4 Mar
Basel 7 Mar
Stoke 12 Mar

What's that, 11 games in 43 days, averaging a game just short of every 4 days.

And that's why nobody has done the quadruple, it's gruelling.

It was down as a Sky fixture on 25th Feb (league cup final day) so I suppose they dictate when it's played.

That's brutal. We have 4 games in 10 days starting with the cup final against Arse or Chelsea then league games against both then Basel.

The Chavs will be faced with a similar schedule if they get through tonight. They face Barca before the league cup final. Sky will then dictate when they travel to the Swamp (possibly the night before we face Arsenal) then us on the Sunday.

Well that fixture list may help us be less successful. It does mean we need a couple of bodies in this transfer window

I think the period we are just finishing is worse, because of all the extra activities surrounding Xmas and New Year.

If we draw on sunday we are extra fucked!

Was that not pretty much the same for everyone.
The further we go now in every competition the more it affects us only compared to those that drop out.
