I know that this is old-fashioned, but it would also just be wrong, as the anger at Everton's behaviour in 1985 (almost 40 years ago) makes clear.

Honoured to

If this has to happen a simple rule that the lower-division team gets 100% of the gate receipts, regardless of where the tie is played, would be a great gesture that would cost the bigger clubs very little and make a big difference to the minnows. Chance of that happening: 0%, obviously. But it would be an easy win for a football regulator...

Still absolutely spitting that I didn't even make the bench.

Very well said. The whole thing stank. Wider interests of football my aṣs.

I see Man City went out of the Champions League last night.

@GodlyOtsemobor out!

You can't criticise his engine, though. Absolutely relentless. The Gary Holt of this messageboard.

@Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Manand @cornish sam both sound more knowledgeable than me. Thanks both

Not sure it qualifies as 'news'. Semi-confident speculation at best 😉

You guys can sort it out between you 😉

V happy to be corrected but I think I remember reading that when you loan a player you transfer their registration, so Abu Kamara will still officially be a Portsmouth player until (again, happy to be corrected) June 1. As with Idah and Celtic, think this is a non starter

Assuming they don't blow a 3-0 lead tonight, they're three points behind Leeds with a game in hand. And they play both Leeds and Leicester. It's a tough ask, for sure, but given the stuttering recent form of the top three, they're definitely still in it.

Haha. The Dennis Srbeny of Britpop

Blur or Oasis? Pulp Gerrard or Lampard? Scholes Hwang or van Hooijdonk? Idah

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Well, that's what I meant, really. Obviously people like Foden and Saka are going to benefit from playing with the best players in the world (and under world-class coaches) - but all English keepers get from the best international keepers coming to the PL are splinters.

Agree with this in general but wonder if the exception is the goalkeeper position, because each club can obviously only have one, so there are hardly any English keepers playing in the top flight to choose from. It's not a great situation where England's no1 keeper is playing for a team in the relegation battle.

My memory is that after a similar amount of minutes, the consensus on here was that Hwang was useless. Maybe SvH will leather one in from 40 yards on Saturday

Little slugs with no personality

100% this

MK Dons

I hate Chelsea (and Man City, and Saudi-Newcastle) more than I hate Ipswich. They encapsulate everything wrong with modern football. And Chelsea don't even have the redeeming feature of affable, long-suffering fans. There, I said it.
