Fair dos. Chelsea made such a song and dance about it, and complained so much in the build up, and their fans were such stupid moaning cretins that I assumed it was 2 days. I have no idea what the fuss about if it was indeed 3 days, as this is a perfectly standard period of time between games. I was very busy beating Everton at Wembley at the time in hilarious fashion, and was moping about various mates house in a drunken state for 3 days that weekend, so wasn't really giving things the usual meticulous attention i do. fair play.
What it does show is i was correct when i said it rarely ever deviates from the norm. so that's one less example I can think of.
I'm spot on re: United Boro tho. being moved back 1 extra day, when everyone else played friday and sunday on the busy christmas period. this is pretty much the only time you get 2 day gaps, but not United. they get 1 days extra rest to make sure they don't have to do what everyone else does. which i see you clipped out of your quote. as seems to be the tactic on this forum. clip out all the stuff that has you beaten, and focus your pedantry on one typo, or slightly debatable line in a post, and declare your victory
