You wait until Anstey Nomads knock us out of the FA Cup in a few weeks.

Competition time… After which game did Russel make this comment?

International break thought - given out biggish squad and depth at this level, is it worth playing during the international break? I look at the table, and see Plymouth have already played 2 games more than us, games we’ve got to make up later in the season with tired legs and playing twice a week. Given the team we could put out, I think I’d rather play the games now and avoid the fixture pile up later in the season, where we’re going to pick up injuries any way.

To paraphrase the infamous words of @Ric Flair ‘it’s like choosing between a bag of shit, or a cup of sick’

Heard he’s got a problem with his stirrup, that might keep him out for a while - or that might just be a Smallbone injury.

All whilst cheating?? I think this puts a huge astrix next to his claim to be the most successful ever?

For what it’s worth, here’s what I would do to avoid this being dragged out in courts for years to come. For cheating Man City should have been disqualified from every cup competition in the seasons they broke the rules. For this, I’d make them pay a set fee to every team that they played along the way, equivalent to the gate receipts a club would have received in the next round. For each season they broke the rules, I’d implement a points deduction equivalent to what they would have received that season - then adjust the league tables accordingly - Man City would then compensate each team based on lost earning by finishing lower in the table. Then a set fee for each team missing out on Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference. This way fine money goes directly to the clubs impacted by the cheating. Further to this, I would declare the owners not fit and proper to run a football club and force a sale. For the non compliance I would give them an 80 point deduction this season and force their relegation to the championship.

Ahh this thread is slightly different to what I thought, I was going to suggest taking the batteries out giving them a rub and then putting them back in, usually works a treat.

I think that’s exactly why this competition is so good for us to be involved in, players like Doyle can be given minutes and time to get his touch in and see if he’s any good with very low stakes.

Souttar actually played pretty well, I don’t think Endrick likes him very much. Souttar gave away a penalty, started an all in brawl and eventually lost 4-2 (2 penalties for Brazil). Hes more than good enough for League One if we can get that sort of performance out of him every week.

Souttar just given away a penalty, took forever for VAR to give it… pretty harsh if you ask me.

There were seven dwarves sitting in a hot tub... Doc started feeling sleepy, so the rest got out…

Just sitting back to watch Our Harry in action against Vinny Junior and Raphinha - life comes at you fast, one minute you’re dropped away at Barnsley next minute you’re playing in front of 50,000 against some of the best talent in the world.

I don’t care what anyone thinks, I want to win this competition! another chance to get minutes into Raviszzoli, Bristric and Doyle. Give some more of the youngsters like Hutchinson and Neale some minutes. Win 6-0 and then move on to the next round.

Would be explain why nobody knew Trump had been watching them for a while.
