Unfair advantage?

So here we go again. This is the time of the year again when manager complain about fixture arrangement. And this time, Man Utd manager said "it's unfair".

'The fixture is not fair in terms of the timing between the two games,' Ferguson told reporters.

The situation now is, Man Utd will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a lunchtime kickoff on Saturday. With a United win,the title will head to Old Trafford for the second year running.

But if Chelsea win, they will keep their title hopes alive.

'The Liverpool fixture with Chelsea was Tuesday followed by Wednesday, so there is four days either way to get themselves ready which is a big advantage, there is no question about that.

'Unfortunately, we have 60 hours to prepare for this game. All we can do is rest them.'

The fixture is suppose to be fixed before the start of the season, so why the complain of unfair now? If Man Utd don't progress to the latter stages of the Champions League, will Fergie complain?

So the solution for Man Utd is, do not progress further to the latter stages of the Champions League if you want advantage in the BPL. By then you will have one week to prepare for the game, while Chelsea will only have 3-4 days. ;)
