I thought deals were supposed to be kept confidential unless both clubs agreed otherwise.

Richard Ashcroft - A Song For The Lovers

We’d be on 35 points without Sammie’s goals so whilst we’d be down (and comfortably so) surprisingly we wouldn’t be bottom.

Or everybody is… The EFL statement in full: https://www.efl.com/news/2024/april/19/efl-statement--fa-cup-replays/ Edited to add - if the EFL had any balls they’d state none of their clubs will be entering next year if replays are not reinstated. Instead they’ll just push for some sort of ‘compensation package’.

Don’t forget the 1890 FA cup final 😄😄

We’ve been boycotting the final since 1960.

Presumably it was the four on this list

🤦‍♂️ - go with the 7-2 then.

How do they feel about Paul Warhurst?

and other teams have gone down with even more.

Apparently the rules can only be changed with the approval of the Professional Game Board. Have the EFL appointees on this board agreed to these changes without consulting their member clubs?

I hope you’re not suggesting they might all be money grabbing hypocrites 🙄

They’ve scrapped this part of things which I guess is something (I’m clutching at straws here) Sorry, ignore that - I hadn’t noticed that… ’ All rounds of the Emirates FA Cup will also be played on weekends’ apparently isn’t contradicted by… ‘The fourth round will be played in an extended window from Friday to Wednesday’ I’m not sure if that’s my fuck up or their’s 🤔

I hadn’t even picked up on that point - what a farce of a decision this is.

Even if Birmingham and Huddersfield also lose?

I think we should set ourselves up to go for the win but we shouldn’t change things late in the game to ‘chase’ the win. If it is level going into the last 20 Wednesday will probably feel they have to force things and, if this happens, hopefully we’ll be able to exploit the holes this will create.

Apparently the Premier League being the best in the world is the reason why the Premier League clubs are struggling in Europe… https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13117764/paul-merson-says-premier-league-is-still-best-in-world-so-why-the-big-flop-from-english-clubs-in-europe

If someone draws with a European qualified PL team they should automatically go through to the next round (no extra time, no penalties) 🤔

It isn’t even pandering to the premier league, it’s pandering to ‘the elite’ of that division.

Precisely. They want to be able to play their strongest teams in every match and yet they have ridiculously massive squads (to the detriment of all the other clubs) Then the same said squad size allows them to change half a team if a match isn’t going their way. At this point, I really wish they would all fuck off to their so called super league.

As inevitable as it is disgraceful. They’re not even trying to hide their favouritism towards the big clubs anymore.

They’ve won 1 of their last 6 matches and are 22nd in the form table (for that period)

Ah, now your posts make sense… 😄😄

If we beat Wednesday we’re safe as they couldn’t catch us and only one of Huddersfield or Birmingham could.
