We'll see. I don't think you'd be happy if it was Everton with only one day to train, can't imagine they'll be anywhere near match fitness.

It's all becoming a bit of a mess all round really. Can defo see a team or two having a Saturday - Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday week towards the end of the season.

Should probably just stop it tbh. It's getting ridiculous.

We had one days training before last night’s game, after playing Saturday and had to play a new system minus a striker, that Keane said post game we’d had no time at all to practise.

A fixture pile up needs to be avoided,Villa are already 2 games out of sync. Some clubs are playing this issue to suit. City did it to us on the day of the game over Christmas and Villa are trying it for this week’s game.

We already did Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday - Sunday and that was supposed to be on the back of the same thing the previous week.
Orient got kicked out of the League Cup or we'd have had it back-to-back.
Southampton - Shkendija - Newcastle - Chelsea, if anyone cares about the fixtures.

I have no idea how we managed to look half decent. A LB at LM, a CB at LB, a CB at RB and Hammmmmez wherever he wanted. To be fair, the game being called off on Sunday gives us more time for players to come back :-)

None of them were easy, but that's the way the results went, yeah! <laugh>
5-2 at Saints, 3-1 in Macedonia, 1-1 against Newcastle and put Chelsea out of the cup on penalties.
Our keeper had practice, as the other two English sides we faced got bullshit pens. The ****s.

Probably would suit us as well tbh, but that’s not the point for me. Villa can put a decent side out and so can we, so the game should be played.

The commentator mentioned Sol Bamba during the first half, and I didn’t quite catch what he said. Just looked him up and the poor fella has cancer.

I also thought he was massively underrated him. Played a blinder on his last visit to Goodison with Cardiff.

He was good for a bit but deteriorated rapidly in this league.

He’s got non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Guessing from how it was reported, his age and it being one of the more treatable cancers he’s got a good chance.
 
So our cup tie against Shrewsbury will be played on Tuesday with the Leeds match postponed.

Glad it'll be played but PL could regret it if one of us and Leeds has an outbreak down the line and has another couple of games postponed.
 
So City have the chance with the game in hand to go a point behind United who.....are no longer joint top.

The league need to award PFA player of the year to Pickford and Richarlison to come second....
