Just read an article on TIA. So Athletico are able to postpone their domestic game straight after the internationals meaning they can train and rest whereas we are struggling to get our two best players into the country.
It's this bullshit along with the European teams allowed 5 subs in game that drives me nuts. Why dont the English government and the Premier League do everything in its power to make sure English teams are successful and not hinder them with this crap. Athletico have a huge advantage over us now..
Its BT that set the KO times. They refused to move our game.
We only asked for it to be an evening Saturday game. Got knocked back.
But I agree with the sentiment, this game could have been put off till a later date. FA etc. rubbish.
