Much as I dislike Liverpool, he does have a point as it puts the home team at a substantial advantage. |

I am not even interested in footie but I would agree. In fact any journey further than 4 hours by road should be postponed as the team travelling will be exhausted by the journey. Plus could they even get back across the channel? |

Well it sounds like they're travelling today for a Thursday evening game, non? So I don't think they'll be exhausted but having had a day at their destination, but it'll no doubt scupper their plans, assuming they'd have got some training in today and a full schedule of training tomorrow. You'd presume they'd just be doing light sessions tomorrow, now. He seemed to suggest they wouldn't be coming back until Saturday, too, which I didn't understand. Or was that the date of their next match (although I thought I'd read that was Sunday). Meh! Toe-ball! |

Four hours in a luxury coach, exhausted? The biggest problem will always be playing away. |

Yes maybe longer is possible, but to Spain will be more than 24 hours in a coach and that is with drivers to swap over. |

Cost of several drivers versus cheapest player's salary at this level??? |

Which they will have. At the end of the day a professional sportsman must put the game first and focus 100% no matter what the conditions that surround it are. |
