Happened to us 10+ years ago, playing Inter at the Giuseppi Meazza on Wednesday and Everton on Saturday lunchtime

I seem to recall that, when brought up on Old606, we got told to stop moaning...

Didn't we once play Seville away on a Thursday with a 8pm kick off and then play Chelsea away on the Saturday with a 12.30pm kick off?

Something like 36 or 37 hours between the end of one and the start of the other.

Iirc we lost to Chelsea to a last minute goal.

***sorry...just seen @paultheplug got there first...should have read on before posting... being premature is a problem ...for some...so I've read <whistle>

It was a 3-3 draw. I was at that game. I was not happy and there was a ****ing war afterwards...

And ruin your day, since the match is done by three and at that point there's no point going out to do anything
But they’re aimed at the pubs who subscribe. Get punters in at midday and keep them in all day. If you’re in that mood or on holiday, it’s quite fun but I agree the games tend to be less enjoyable. Evening games - 7.45 or 8.00pm- are the best; always have been. Players must be conditioned to playing in the later part of the day. 12.30 must be a shock to the system.
