    it's really simple.

    the football league cup is run by who?

    The fa premier league and fa cup are run by who?

    there is the answer.

    a fa rule favours fa competition...shock.

    The advantage is that if we got a 3 match ban that means our player misses 3 PL games, whereas a player for a small club like Everton only misses 2 PL games

    Ahh, that explains it then. It wouldn't be fair for their players being banned from a competition that other players aren't playing in, a bit like your players might get a ban in the CL but not in the league.
    All seems very fair now <ok>

    Yes it would also be #bentasfuck if we could run out a PL ban by resting a player in CL games when we've already topped our group, but that's not the case like it is with the LC

    Exactly, because other teams don't have players in the CL and will never have that opportunity during the season, in the LC all teams will have the chance to do it <doh>

    I wonder if Diego will ever enter into a normal discussion again or just try and argue for the sake of it for the rest of the season?

    We did them double last season with Vardy. Maybe we are going to concede a goal, but I expect us to out all the points.

    Absolute must win going into the International break.

    Following that our games will be:
    Away at Tottenham
    Home to Southampton
    Away to Chelsea
    Home to Man City

    Plus add a champions league game or two to that
