FA Cup tradition went out the window years ago.

Sure. But not playing league games on cup final day is still a good thing, yes? Seems an odd thing to criticise them for.

Rumour has it that it'll be moved to Friday 16th May for 7.30pm kick off and a PL announcement expected today, could be bollocks though.
If that happens we cannot go, away that week, get back on Saturday, f***ing b******s!!!

For anyone wondering where the statement comes from.....

https://www.thefa.com/news/2024/apr/18/emirates-fa-cup-format-calendar-update-increased-premier-league-grassroots-funding-20241804#:~:text=The%20Emirates%20FA%20Cup%20Final,place%20on%20the%20same%20day.

It was an agreement from last season for this and the next 6 years. Fallen at the first hurdle it seems.

We’re better ‘under the lights’ than on Sunday afternoons, so I’m not bothered from a football POV, but it’s a pisser for lots of fans no doubt.

And it’s bang out of order from the PL after telling us to fuck off over the Liverpool game we asked to be moved.
It's where I am as well.  Arseholes.

I hate, despise and loathe the so-called "Big Six" and all their works.

Let's rinse Spurs under the lights and boost the goal difference for the last day of season!

It's official. Surely they should wait until they actually get to the fucking final first.

Then Man U and Chelsea fans wouldn't be able to watch their team in the Women's Cup Final, which would be shit.

Wouldn't people moan more if it gets moved with even fewer days notice?

It shouldn't be moved under any circumstances.

Well, maybe. But that's a different debate. If they are going to move it, the sooner they announce it the better as fewer people will have made transport plans.

Chelsea have more of a right to moan than us, IMO. There's no way they'll move their final league game to allow extra preparation time for the Conference League Final as they'd have to move all the final games.

Confirmed on prAVda

The Prem's caved in to the Cockernee tossers.

Dangerous precedent set for next season.

I actually don't blame Spurs here, the fuck up was allowing the Chelsea game to be moved to the Friday in the first place.

Spurs probably implied they'd play the youth team if the game wasn't moved.

I hope we kick the living daylights out of them.
