Can't believe they weren't given permission to do it. I can't imagine any other PL team having a problem with it ahead of Europa League final.
Athletico were allowed to bring their game forward a day...

Pretty shit. You would think they would want to support an English team in a European final.

Got to have all games at the same time, otherwise Spurs could of been influenced in their selection to try and get 3rd or not etc...
I'd imagine most of the players for the final will be on their way to Hamburg by kick off on sunday anyway, they'll all be rested again

if they can't handle it, they shouldn't have bothered trying to get to the final.
to be honest, they've known about the fixtures since the start of the season, can't start messing around with them now.

You're having a laugh Ben? When the fixtures are made by the FA they don't take the Euro finals into account so how could Fulham have guessed in a million years they'd get this far and ask in advance? Like most have said, you'd think the FA would want to encourage one of their teams in a big game (No sniggering at the back).

No such thing as a second string tbh. Teams have squads for this reason.

At the managers discretion though. I'm just playing devils advocate.

Hopefully Arsenal will complain about team selection tomorrow as we all know its not going to be the starting 11 for the final. Can Spurs complain?
It's all bollocks about playing a 'weakened' team. You register all players at the start of the season and he shouldn't matter who the manager fields.

we know this tom, but the rules clearly state the manager should field the strongest team available to him.
i think it's a pisstake as the manager does whats best for the team.

If West Ham had done better this season and you didn't cut it fine, like most seasons. Would you be saying all this?

You'd spaff your pants if you won it declaring its the start of something beautiful for the hammers.
