Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Got to laugh at the fellini is insulting the intelligence of the Man Utd fans lol...

The whole rant does that if that lad had a gauge on his fooking head the needle would be on the red I'm sure....shocking

 

Have people actually discussed the full FA cup draw?

Ipswich v Lincoln
Barrow v Rochdale
Manchester United v Reading
Hull v Swansea
Sunderland v Burnley
QPR v Blackburn
Millwall v Bournemouth
West Ham v Manchester City
Brighton v MK Dons/Charlton
Blackpool v Barnsley
Wigan v Nottm Forest
Birmingham v Newcastle
Chelsea v Peterborough/Notts County
Middlesbrough v Sheff Weds
West Brom v Derby County
Everton v Leicester
Liverpool v Newport/Plymouth
Wycombe v Northampton/Stourbridge
Watford v Burton Albion
Preston v Arsenal
Cardiff v Fulham
Stoke v Wolves
Cambridge Utd v Leeds
Bristol City v Shrewsbury/Fleetwood
Huddersfield v Port Vale
Tottenham v Aston Villa
Brentford v Halifax/Eastleigh
Bolton v Crystal Palace
Norwich v Southampton
Sutton Utd v AFC Wimbledon
Accrington v Luton
Rotherham v Oxford/Macclesfield

There are several interesting ties in the draw but a sneaking suspicion certain teams will be actively trying to lose the ties to get out of cups.

City may get a bye off west ham as wet ham will need points more than trophies. Everton have a virtual bye to the next round by the look of it, tricky away tie for southampton

nothing else really stand out yet but there could be drame in a few... here is hoping.

Yes LFC got a good home draw this time round. we have to deliver in it though. We will no doubt see the 3 kids again... and mingolet.

 

Probably not, can see a relegation fighting team going far. Possibly Leicester or WHam if still fighting? In the past teams have gone onto reach the final or won the thing whilst fighting relegation.
Crystal Palace last year, Villa before that, Hull before that...Wigan!! (relegated), Portsmouth finalist (relegated), West Ham when we beat them, Newcastle in the late 90s under Guillit spring to mind.

 

I haven't.

 

Now you have.

 

Have not.

 

have so.

 

That's what she said...

 

Lmao

 

After the last round of prem fixtures you of all should know anyone in the prem can beat anyone on their day so Everton dont have a virtual bye to the next round...
Nice try tho...

 

I will bet you leicester play a c team in it. you just watch.

 

Might as well put advertisement sandwich boards on those goal line refs for all their apparent use...

 

They are a complete waste of time i agree.

 

Leicester could be a blinding cup side this season (Champions league , FA Cup) and get relegated in May







Could happen........................

 

If they won the CL and got relegated, would they be allowed to defend their title?

 

This is what I was thinking .................it would give UEFA a headfuck

 

yep

 

I thought they introduced a rule (a few years ago) about teams competing in Europe must be in the top flight of their respective league?

It was more about teams winning a cup and getting relegated (Wigan)

I may have imagined this though...

 

tbh knowing EUFA they will interpret their mass of rules in whichever way they want but since the rule is CL winners get a place at the expense of the lowest qualifying league position team is in place i assume they would just go with that but who knows with them .

 

You seen how we are playing lol
