Fixture congestion

actually i can remember arsenal and man u both having games one day apart. the second game think it was a sunday after both playing on the saturday was a legue cup match. both teams agreed to play there kids in it so it was allowed to be played 24 hours after league game

Its a shame UTD couldnt think of doing that vs some lower league team instead of pulling out of the FA cup and making a mockery of it just to play in S.America for the weekend

True but if I remember the FA forced them to go in the hope it would help us get the FA cup, as united didn't want to play in the tournament.

They were there for a week / 10 days or some thing, now the world club cup is a lot different.

Without upsetting anyone, why can't any team play 2 games in 3 days. I work 5 consecutive days to pay the mortgage etc etc and earn in a year what most of them earn in those 3 days.

But it only does seem to happen to Fulham .......
