    Option 2 and 3 would never happen. Ever.

    It would simply come down to us playing 3 games in a week as it always has in that instance.

    I would prefer #3, but #1 is what would happen.

    3 weeks ago?

    anyway i know a lot of people will say they don't care about these things as usual but personally i hope we break the 95pt mark and get that record back. not sure if the goals record for the season will happen but that would be nice as well

    If Everton do us a favor and we can handle our business. Smooth sailing in the league.

    Wishful thinking but it won't happen, Everton are on a downward spiral in terms of form and it won't get better. After two poor results my confidence is a bit low and i can see a few slip ups in Sunderland & Stoke

    Will the prem game against Man City get moved if Chelsea progress in the EL? If they do progress, they will have EL games on April 4/11. With the FA Cup semis scheduled for April 13/14 when else can the replay be played except the weekend of April 6/7?

    Also, what's with all these Monday games?

    Chelsea v #MUFC FA Cup 6th round replay confirmed: Mon 1 April, 12:45 KO (live ITV).

    West Ham v #MUFC Weds 17 April, 19:45 KO (Live on Sky).

    ---

    we have Sunderland away on March 30... surely won't play Chelsea on one day rest. and if so that's a HUGE bogey game for us away. either way we will be resting players. should prove interesting.

    squad management will be huge.

    But I read a couple of days ago that we should ignore the depth of our squad and focus only on the quality of the first XI.

    Back in the old days there always used to be an Easter Monday match after playing on the Saturday.

    To reiterate my feelings on it, squad players or backup players should come from the youth team and only first teamers should be bought unless a bargain can be done like Park/Hernandez, to buy someone expensive knowing they are not better options than what you have and for the squad is very Benitez type and I have reservations for that type of signings.

    There is nothing wrong with squad depth, but that depth should be in the form of young players with upside or veterans who've been usurped rather than established professionals who we pay a good sum for.

    and I guess we do a similar thing over the Christmas period.

    now is the time to stand up and be counted. UNITED UNITED UNITED!

    They mentioned on Twitter that this March 30/April 1st shit is confirmed. That's mental. ​
    What a stupid league the EPL is. ​

    Precisely. Don't really see another way.

    They could move the City-Utd/Che semi-final to a later date, but I guess they wouldn't make so much money from that move.

    Yes and how about not having poverty or AIDS or taxes... but like those things, international friendlies are beyond the scope of the FA.

    aren't these WCQ dates, not friendlies?
