We've had a great season here comes the pain but when the dust settles it'll be seen as it is... a great season overall.
Much better than expected and just because they had flirt with top 4 shouldn't have altered people's expectations imo. Next season I'd expect top 10 and a cup run.
Send Pope out on an emergency one game loan. Serves his suspension during the week and is available Sunday.
No you didn't but if they saw the risk and didn't ignore it we'd not be in this situation. It's all about making decisions not looking back and realising errors.
But you can't just play an entire reserve team in PL. They at least have to be from your registered 25-man squad. Otherwise you can be penalised. Given we have various injuries and Bruno was suspended, what would your match day squad have been against Liverpool? And you can't just say "the reserves". Name your starting 11 plus the full bench. EDIT: so that's 20 players including subs. Would be keen to know hiw you would have lined rhem up, who you would have rested and who you would have risked.
I see, so for example, rather than waiting until people on herr get annoyed and doing a retrospecrive ban, our mods could - just for instance - assess the risk now and give Chaos a 1 week forum ban from today. So that would be a 'wise decision' rather than leaving it and then acting after the event, using hindsight, right?
Banning someone for demonstrating fact...if people don't like it then they could stop going on about it though rather than expect me to yield which I won't as much as love you all.
If he'd picked dubs this situation was not possible.. that is completely fact . I get the reasons why people would pick Pope anyway but the fact remains and required no hindsight.
