Imagine complaining that your team has too many internationals.
The 2 players we lost to international duty failed to beat the footballing powerhouses of Qatar and Luxembourg.
Not sure I could have less sympathy for Norwich

Pitch quality wasnt it? During the game we beat them 3-1Have I dreamt it or did Farke come out with something similar 2 seasons ago?

As I have just pointed out to a Norwich fan who has accused us of not showing any class.
We are on a shocking run of form, just sacked our manager, confidence is low & we desperately need the points to starve of a relegation battle, we need any advantage we can get. Nothing to do with class, the fact Norwich have a team of internationals is not Preston North End's fault.
Last week, Farke openly said that Preston refused to move the fixture because it gives ourselves a better chance of winning - aligned with what you’re saying here.
But in addition, as MEST says, while they can rest up until Tuesday evening, we have a long journey to Swansea on Sunday which would put us at a huge (for us fatal) disadvantage for that match if we played Saturday. For me, that’s the biggest reason to refuse - and it is NORWICH who are lacking class in throwing this at PNE.
It is difficult and a bit unfair on them but this should be between them and the football authorities.
Oh the shame. The shame of it all 😂😂Harsh on Crowe that

Tbf they are both shit 😂😂

I suppose it’s that big a price due to the absence of fans negating home advantage to a large degree.In a two horse race!
We were excellent that night but Farke didn't make the slightest nod towards acknowledging it.Pitch quality wasnt it? During the game we beat them 3-1
We wouldn't have been able to pass it as well as we did if the pitch had been poor.
Getting his excuse in early this time and hopefully he'll need it.

We're also shit, with a caretaker manager.

That’s probably factored in as well......We're also shit, with a caretaker manager.
Hopefully the caretaker manager, if only briefly, has a positive effect.We're also shit, with a caretaker manager.

I have no sympathy for Norwich City either, Farke had no sympathy for us earlier in the season when we played them at Carrow Road and City fans were allowed in the ground and as admitted by Radio Norfolk did have an affect on the ref. They said that if City fans hadn’t been allowed in to the ground they said their player (I cannot remember who it was now) who brought Sinclair down from behind just outside of their area would have been sent off and we would have gone on and won the game.
Also, I’m sure if Norwich are threatened with relegation and are about to play Man City at home 48 hours after Man City have played in the European Championships and asked Norwich to put the game back that Farke would say ‘No’

We've been accused of a lack of class due to not moving the fixture but I think it shows little class from Farke also to be whining about it publicly too. Hope we stuff them.

...but you never know and if we pull it off, this would be the sweetest victory of the season!
