I don't see the advantage for anyone here either but it is a bit **** that the rule applies one way and not the other. Typical FA ruling really

The advantage is that if we got a 3 match ban that means our player misses 3 PL games, whereas a player for a small club like Everton only misses 2 PL games
 
No, only small clubs play the early rounds
Ahh, that explains it then. It wouldn't be fair for their players being banned from a competition that other players aren't playing in, a bit like your players might get a ban in the CL but not in the league.
All seems very fair now <ok>

Yes it would also be [HASHTAG]#bentasfuck[/HASHTAG] if we could run out a PL ban by resting a player in CL games when we've already topped our group, but that's not the case like it is with the LC

Exactly, because other teams don't have players in the CL and will never have that opportunity during the season, in the LC all teams will have the chance to do it <doh>

But we play one less domestic game anyway?

Liverpool don't have the chance to play the first two rounds of the LC
 
Mind you, this thread already has 5 times the number of posts compared to tonight's Spurs game on the MU board <whistle>
 
I wonder if Diego will ever enter into a normal discussion again or just try and argue for the sake of it for the rest of the season?

Be a tough game this. No vardy should help us out in theory but probably be toughest game of the season so far. Up there with palace in terms of tricky ness
 
Absolute must win going into the International break.

Following that our games will be:
Away at Tottenham
Home to Southampton
Away to Chelsea
Home to Man City

Plus add a champions league game or two to that
