    Bristol City 2 up v Norwich.

    Another game, another team caught out playing out from the back but excellent goal by Wells tbf.

    As was the first by Sykes

    They press well and put defenders under pressure a lot which we don’t like or do particularly.

    Are Newcastle set to end that long wait for a trophy?

    And end up with a trophy they shouldn't even be competing for - not being an EFL team...

    So basically the whole history of the tournament is a waste of time really or since the PL was created as all the winners are invalid ?

    Guess their fans won’t mind either way whereas Liverpool’s would have seen it as a secondary prize.

    I mean supposed there is the EFL trophy
    for just some EFL sides only which maybe counts more as a Football league run tournament .

    Reading look to be in a spot of bother - the owner has been told to sell up by the 5th April or the club faces expulsion from the EFL.

    And we complain sometimes about our owners

    Better to be owned by the Pozzos than a chancer like Bassini

    Sad times for the Royals.

    Have been reading about the Lucas Paqueta trial, but there's one thing I can't find any info on. If he's found guilty, and the FA get their way with a lifetime ban - do West Ham get any compensation for the £50 million transfer fee they forked out for him?

    Anyone know?

    I'm not sure what I'm missing here - if he's found guilty I can't see what grounds he would have to sue the FA - it would have been all his own fault. I suppose West Ham suing the FA would give them more chance of recouping the transfer fee than if they sued the real culprit - Paqueta.

    Funny old world.

    Looks like Porteous has been dropped for the return leg of the Scotland v Greece tie - not on the bench.

    There were quite a few murmurings about his poor performance in the first leg, even though he only played for less than ten minutes.
