Yeah we'd have to make that Cornwall lot go and play in a Welsh League, but you are right players never use to get paid much, they certainly weren't driving posh cars they were getting the train home in cattle class.
Oooooh fighting talk Snap on the second bit. 83/84 and we lost to Everton in the FA Cup semi too. Proper done over by the scousers that season.
Those ****s beat us in the FA Cup final as well Offside goal for their first and an assault on our keeper for their second and just to rub salt in the wounds our goal was disallowed for offside Scousers still wonder why they not as loved as Man U or Man City
That’s why I’d probably say the best solution is to scrap it. Any club in any league will rightly prioritise the league over the league cup until they get to the last 4
Nah don't scrap it, it's good for bantz when a Prem team wins it, quite funny knowing Klopp left with the Mickey Mouse cup - it's one of those events that fixes a timeline in your brain
None of the other top nations have 2 domestic cups do they? With so many fixtures something has to give and unfortunately money talks so it will probably be the league cup unless they make significant changes like the bullshit seedings we’ve seen.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love to see Spurs win it again but the current schedule just doesn’t seem sustainable
Tough set of fixtures but not much travel. The new format sounds exceptionally dull. Bring back knockouts for the champions only.
Why do we have to match ourselves to other leagues? I don't give a **** what they do tbh. Fact remains it's bollocks to make changes which damage 86 clubs for the sake of 6.
I don’t blame the clubs other than that they’ll be lobbying behind the scenes to scrap this cup, pushing for a 16/18 team league, matches abroad etc. and won’t mind the extra European games with the dough that brings. I blame the Premier League itself for being a combination of weak and greedy. And the FA for being weak/pointless.
See I actually think there's a decent argument for an 18 team league tbh. So much dross in the bottom half of the division who wouldn't be missed. Would definitely prefer that to scrapping the league cup.
