Now Moyes blames the Premier League

, 17 March, 72comments  |  Jump to most recent
David Moyes has tried to deflect some of the criticsm for his decision to surrender last week's league derby by fielding a a heavily weakend team, blaiming the Premier League for "letting themselves down" and "demeaning the FA Cup" by scheduling the game for last Tuesday.

Moyes was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying: "To put that game in there before quarter-finals involving both teams, you think it hardly makes sense. I think the Premier League let themselves down with that.

"When you put fixtures in like the one we had before a game, then the Premier League are going to lose crowds and support, because we can't obviously fit that in, if you're going to put a midweek game in before a quarter-final tie.

"I think the Premier League are the ones who are now beginning to let themselves down with the way they are doing it."
