"I'm talking about a massacre!" - Christopher Walken.

 

Maybe 10 years ago. No one puts out full strength squads for this. They do with the FA Cup.

 

Liverpool eked out a win over Manchester United in a game that could have gone either way until Roberto Firmino was put in as a late substitution.

 

Even then typically not unless they reach the semis from the little i've paid attention over the years.

 

In a fantasy world I'd love the scottish & English league cups to merge. Probably wouldn't be worth a shit to the top ~6 prem sides but i reckon even most english clubs below there would get a bit of extra interest from the variety & itd certainly be brill for scottish teams. Hearts vs QPR? Leeds vs Celtic? Aberdeen vs Bournemouth, Everton vs Rangers....why not.

 

Agreed. At least try it out as an experiment for one season. If the Scottish sides aren't very competitive or there is a lack of interest then scrap it.

 

I've always thought this as well. Would be awesome.

 

Well instead of just sitting around thinking about it why don't you get off your LAZY ASS and implement it!!

 

Dunga says I need to pay him first, before I even think of doing anything else. Otherwise I'd be totally on it.

 

That's a great idea.

 

That cup final loss seems to have, unexpectedly, thrown the huns into absolute fucking meltdown. Banners and songs demanding the board step down, generalised hysteria. Unless they expect some oil sheik sugar daddy to emerge ive no idea what they're expecting: they've no fucking money! Massive debts, half their squad is out of contract in summer, their stadium hasn't been touched for 25 years. They're structurally fucked and this is them getting jolted out of the denial stage of grief into anger

 

The bad news is Everton blew two leads at Forest and ended up with a 2-2 draw.

The good news is that was the first time we scored more than one goal since October. That's pathetic.

Sean Dyche, master of the 4-4-2 has yet to set Everton up in that formation. The problem is obvious. We don't have two strikers. So he's going with 4-3-2-1 aka the Christmas Tree formation. I'd like to see him try a 4-4-2 with Simms up top & Gray as a second striker. Until Mr. Glass (DCL) gets back for two matches and is injured again.

 

Dortmund figures to spank Chelsea today.

 

I often read the huns message board. Their fanbase is quite pessimistic about the future, as you detailed.

 

Aye I almost empathise because theres layers of fuckedness and really we're only burried a few of lines in the rock above them. Ive just been surprised by the bi-polarness of it.... everything was rustling bluebells when they were scraping out 3-2 wins vs Ross county with last minute penalties; two days later its sack the board, cut Beales mole off, guilotine King Charles

 

I am predicting a Chelsea 2-1 victory.

I think the away goal rule was scrapped for this season so that means PKs.

I'll say Chelsea wins in PKs. Not that I like that club.

"Who ordered the sausage?" -Kyle Walker

The other good news was Everton were the only away team not to lose over the weekend. The home clubs went 9-1-0 in the Prem.

 

Thats remarkable

 

This got played on Radio One last week! Get it released and in the charts

 

FFS

 

No defending that sort of thing, especially when Walker is involved.

 

Exposed at the front for a change.....

 

Best stadium in the championship at this rate!!

 

Naaah....

 

Adios, PSG.

 

Chelsea can win this thing.
