Hate to say it but he has a point. Swap their fixtures for ours and I know what I'd be saying.
I noticed Chelsea played yesterday after playing at 6.30 Sunday, ridiculous. These TV arranged fixtures drive me nuts. Tanya Wenger wants lazy Sunday Guardian Wednesday January 29, 2003 Ars�ne Wenger has been up to his old tricks once again, telling the Football Association when they should schedule the Gunners' FA Cup fifth-round tie against Manchester United, and advising Sven-G�ran Eriksson on how to pick his team. In the interests of Arsenal's Champions League campaign, Wenger has told the FA that the tie can only take place on Saturday February 15, rather than being moved to the Sunday. Arsenal face Ajax in the Champions League on the following Tuesday evening at Highbury, and Wenger wants his men chomping at the bit and breathing fire. The BBC, who have first choice of the FA Cup's televised live fixtures, would ideally like such a significant encounter to be played out in a prime-time slot either on Saturday or Sunday evening. However, Greater Manchester Police must first be consulted over any evening kick-off to ensure crowd safety. Then there is the added TV scheduling problem of the Six Nations championships, with France facing England at Twickenham on BBC1 at 4pm on the Saturday. Wenger knows best, however, and has advised the FA to act in Arsenal's favour. "We can win at 1pm or 6pm on the Saturday," he insisted, somewhat prematurely, "but we can't play on the Sunday. That's impossible." *************************************** Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe to the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe from the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
