Davkaus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Great news for us, but that's pretty unfair on Fulham. The next few months of the season are going to be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA cup 4th round weekend is a logical date for newcastle game but don't put it past the PL to land it upon us at a moments notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 My worry is how match fit will the players be on Sunday... Most come out of isolation on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Premier League are a disgrace if they forced Fulham into this. Eff Spurs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OxfordVillan Posted January 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2021 Sorry, can’t get my head around how ppl think this is so unfair to Fulham. They played Saturday (local game at QPR), and they’re being asked to play Wednesday evening (local game at Spurs). They’ve had Sunday to rest. They can now prepare for the Spurs game this afternoon, tomorrow, and Wednesday morning. It’s not like they’re being asked to field 16 & 17yr olds in a hastily put together team who haven’t played in 4wks, is it? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal preparation/training for Everton game given the 10 isolation ends on Saturday?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time they played a second string side and have had a few weeks off already. It’s not a ridiculous decision. Just not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being told 2 days before the game at 12pm isn't something I would want for Villa. Mourinho's rant about fixtures has in essence worked. Fulham then have to play Chelsea on Saturday. Point is this should have been sorted / arranged last week when it was clear about our outbreak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
