End of season fixture backlog - 3 away games to be rearranged

[mlyons]

They are having trouble fitting the Palace away game in. The only date is between the last game Norwich and the FA cup final.

I don't think they can do that. The league season has to end at the same time for every club.

Swerve the Palace game n just give us the 3points. Thanks

This stupid break for international friendlies has taken two midweeks out of the fixture equation just as the season approaches its climax.

And left us without top flight football over Easter for the first time I can ever remember.

I hate international football.

That's never happened before has it?

I would imagine bank holiday Monday on May 2nd, they used to play games Easter Saturday / Easter Monday so no reason why they can't do that?

There is.

The league is closing down for a fortnight after this weekend to accommodate international friendlies

This takes in the Easter holiday period.

When Moyes surrendered prior to meeting the RS in the FA cup, I hated him with a vengeance as did many a supporter. This time however, because the RS will not be involved in the FA cup, I would be in favour of putting out the U21's side because you just know that those barstewards will attempt to kick our players off the pitch and their fans would just love to see Lukaku, Ross or Lennon get injured. The U21's will probably beat them anyway so let's treat them with the contempt they deserve.........

and to think some want him back!

Feel like we have been stitched up for this. I would have no arguments playing an understrength team, and will be slighlty angry if Martinez puts out his best 11, the majority of fans would prefer a full 11 in the cup.

I actually spent 2 months in Riyadh working (well, travelled around quite a bit of the place doing work tbh), Saudi is a crazy place.

soz for off topic hahaha

I was in Saudi about 30 years ago, to be honest, I hated it, but I needed the money and the experience and it's probably changed a bit since then.
Mind you, I doubt any of our rearranged games will be played out there

If he plays a strong side and we get beat at Wembley due to someone being injured or suspended I think the time he has bought himself by getting us to a semi will come to a swift end. No one cares if he rests players and we don't win a league game, we weren't winning them anyway, all that matters now is the cup.

Business end of the season now, major rotation and priorities from this point forward.

Into the third day after the draw......and still no word on whether it will be on the Saturday or the Sunday.

A decision which could have been made and announced five minutes after the draw

They seem to be dragging out these calls a lot this season, I reckon they are waiting on the result of the West Ham UTD replay game

And nobody even knows when that will be.

Some on here reckon if united were to best the RS tonight that replay will have to be played the midweek leading up to the semi final

Yip.

Why would result of that stop them from announcing semi final date???
