Isn’t it terrible that’s my thought when Elanga missed was, “I’m worried about Twitter”…

Although he will sadly get abuse over this, there is one distinct difference which might save him.

Most of the country were desperate for the 3 England lads to score in the Euros, whereas most of the country were desperate for Elanga to miss and so for most of us he's become a figure of love rather than hate.

That is SO true - but I do feel for the lad. Still - he can look back at all the missed chances by those “big” players ….
I really think that, had Cavani played instead of that over-opinionated whinger who wore the number 7 shirt, United would have cruised that game.
I’m seriously hoping now that these comments don’t come back to bite me in just over a week’s time!! <yikes>

How the hell is it fair to allow 5 subs for the FA Cup? It’s obviously going to give the bigger teams a huge advantage when they can stack the bench and bring on top class players!! I think it’s crazy!!

They’ve played so so well. So unlucky. Rice has been the only player putting in 100% for them, real disgraceful performance

This is partly why ditching replays is ****.
Agreed.
Were the replays only dropped owing to the Covid situation, or is it a permanent change?
Kidderminster are being denied a trip to the taxpayer stadium and a good payday because of the rules.

edit. Just checked and replays scrapped because of Covid backlog

The poor darling Premier League players have too many matches anyway, apparently.
