again... the scheduling is done by a computer for the first half of the season, second half is same fixtures return leg... ergo, you have about 1/3 chance that the return games will coincide with late cl knockout rounds

maybe if barcelona weren't treating easy away games like exhibition matches and madrid didn't play the same starting xi 50 times a year they wouldn't have had fatigue problems at the time of the season when every top team expects to play difficult games as they push for both domestic titles and cl

they have admitted they do it on purpose to make the league interesting..... hence why they're complaining now

We went out because because we couldnt finish the innumerable chances we had after completely dominating and outplaying Chelsea over 2 legs.
Nothing to do with the fixture list.Just pathetic finishing.

wut? they admitted to *not moving* it, which is all good, even if they did it for the wrong reasons... moving a game for two teams to have easier schedule would just be another steaming pile of shit on the other 18 teams... ffs when we had a clusterf*ck of a schedule in february (barcelona three times, stoke twice, pathetico and sevilla once) noone batted an eyelid

quit bitching, both madrid and barcelona have the squad depth to deal with tough schedules, or at least the money for it...

Oh yeah for sure. You know they should just cancel all the other games of the season, just have two classico's all year. Then they will have a whole year to schedule so as not to conflict with champion's league.
