Having no replays is madness. Lower league/non league side who are lucking enough to make it past round 1 need that income. Completely agree however, this is a knock on of the UEFA land grab, adding 2 extra games to the group stage. So why have they taken replays away for round 2? I kinda get takin...

EFL claiming they weren't fully consulted and will be demanding compensation for their clubs due to lack of replays.

Also, if scrapping replays, scrap them altogether. What is the point in making say Thatcham potentially have to travel to Marine (or vice versa) on a Weds night when they are part time players with jobs but there is no intention to make, say Doncaster, travel to say Yeovil for a midweek replay?

So whilst they are dressing this up as a "good thing" it is clearly just a result of those clubs playing in Europe saying, we simply can't do replays any more - so scrap them on we may not enter next year. So they've just scrapped them across the board to make it look like that isn't the r...

Changes to the FA Cup have been announced today. - All rounds to be played on weekends again - though 4th Round will stretch from Friday through Weds to allow more games to be shown live. - 4th, 5th and 6th round weekends will see no Premier League games played - No replays at all from 1st Round onw...

They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next Crikey - wonder if they are the lowest placed side to win a European competition in recent times? Edit: was a remarkable run through the competition. This was in the days of it being a two-legged cup competition, Schalke won the trophy...

I think the moments are just more memorable in the Premier League seasons. Even in the years we went down, we had some of our best moments. Beating Liverpool in 2007, the comeback win at home to Everton in 2012 when they were still good. January 2013 where Le Fondre was player of the month and McDe...

Agree. I want us to compete at the highest level we can. Maybe we’d go into each season knowing we only had a 1 in 300 chance of winning the league, but we’d have a better standard of player and opponent, and even if we finished last we’d still be “above” every Championship team. Seeing us lose 4-0...

Franchise FC But shirley Kane went there to win things

Don't call me shirley.

And he'll win the Bundesliga next year.

Arsenal across 180 minutes led for 6.

Happy to be wrong. All German Final at Wembley again?

Having watched Man City repeatedly lose to inferior opposition in the Champs League in person in several of the past years CL campaigns, i see plenty of risk posed by Bayern Munich. I still think Pep is not that good at big games. Gets beaten more than he should. Bayern will go out tonight. Their s...

I think we all can agree that we wish him well in his quest to win the World Cup at Rotherham.

So Dortmund and PSG will play for the right to lose to whoever wins the Citeh-Real tie tonight in the final. Having watched Man City repeatedly lose to inferior opposition in the Champs League in person in several of the past years CL campaigns, i see plenty of risk posed by Bayern Munich. I still ...

There’s something I really dislike about Burton. Not really justified as they are a solid enough club. Think it goes back to Stam 1-2 game in front of a full house, just brings back awful memories Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw Off the top of my head, Mannone booting a clearance...

There’s something I really dislike about Burton. Not really justified as they are a solid enough club. Think it goes back to Stam 1-2 game in front of a full house, just brings back awful memories Anyway yes they are dire and we should win Wouldn’t change too much, no point playing Holmes or Mukair...

Bit of a twat move to bugger off whilst Stevenage still have, an albeit very long shot at the play-offs - Especially 2 days before they play Oxford, who are the club they need to catch.

You just can't make these things up when it comes to what these clubs will do to get more money. Yet another club that might go the same way as Man City but won't. What year did they reckon the charges might actually get to be heard? If the charges are PSR related then it will be heard relatively q...

If the team are not on the beach this should be a comfortable 2-0 win. We will score, so just need to defend well and we should win - if we get ahead early and news filters through of Cheltenham winning, they will panic and we should be able to pick them off. Watched Burton v Cheltenham last night ...

If anyone is interested then its well worth listening back to the podcast from yesterday called Outspoken With White & Jordan which is just a kind of highlights thing of their daily talksport show. They had an FFP specialist on talking about Chelsea. He explained this whole thing around them se...

Are teams getting more points these days? I am not just talking about the Championship. I am sure 90 points used to feel like a pretty special achievement 20-30 years back, but seems to almost happen as standard nowadays (I may also just be misremembering, which I do a lot of) League 1 this year co...
