I think I might even take it a step further and open it up to the whole of the UK. Like a mini European competition "Battle of Britain" sort of thing. I think that would breathe new life into a competition that could really use it. Maybe the early rounds could be teams of the same country then in the latter stages (when Premier league teams normally enter) anyone draws anyone. Final rotates every year between Wembley, Hampden and Millennium Stadium. Would be great but can't see the FA being too enthusiastic to change

Not that they couldn't compete but it would make Scottish football even more mediocre than it already is without their top teams there. But I think the league cup should be revamped to create a cross border competition. Speaking as someone who attends Scottish football matches, it would be utterly glorious without Glasgow's two arsecheeks, thank you very much. Everyone predicted financial armageddon without the "blue pound" when "The Rangers" were relegated, but we had several years of relative peace without the quarterly bigotfest, and the game continued. If we could get rid of both Rangers and Celtic, Scottish football would be on a far more level playing field. I have enjoyed attending grounds all over Scotland, but I wouldn't go back to Parkhead or Ibrox if you paid me. They are full of hate and anger. It's a terrible experience as a fan. English football would be bonkers to consider letting them in and English constabularies, mindful of the battle of Manchester, wouldn't support it anyway.
Sampson Posted 15 August 2020 Posted 15 August 2020 Anyone who wants secretarian fans who send death threats for being the "wrong" faction of a religion in English football is weird. They're hands down the 2 most vile clubs in British football. They make Millwall and Leeds seem likeable. No thanks. Some of the other Scottish clubs joining English football would be fine but Rangers and Celtic and their embarrassing political rivalry in which grown adults goad each other for being the wrong faction of a religion or the wrong side of some narcissistic nationalism. They'd have to clean that shit and association up before we should even consider them.

jimsmallman Posted 15 August 2020 Posted 15 August 2020 Every single one of my non-Leicester supporting friends is convinced that Demarai Gray is a phenomenal footballer who is worth well over one hundred million pounds. They genuinely all think he's absolutely brilliant.
dobbylcfc Posted 15 August 2020 Posted 15 August 2020 Im sure its been mentioned but when brendan came from Celtic chris suttons “Celtic reserves are a bigger club than Leicester” really pixxed me off can’t stand the idiot . Used to love listening to 606 but now suttons on it i cant listen to it on a sat.

There are a lot of penalties that are scored which are equally 'poor' but the goalie has just guessed the wrong way. Oh my god praise the Lord for you saying this. Equally 'great penalty' when the keeper goes wrong way and the ball is nowhere near the corner and at a good height.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 15 August 2020 Posted 15 August 2020 It really annoys me when people say that managers who stick 10 men behind the ball and get a result as having a 'tactical masterclass'. It's hardly reinventing the wheel and seems to be the only scenario when this cliche is used as opposed to actual tactical masterclasses.

The 'hipsters' will say Söyüncü. The correct answer is obviously Evans. I agree with this opinion, but interestingly enough, I saw this asked on r/soccer the other day and there was a very interesting answer from someone who played at centreback who said they'd much rather play alongside Soyuncu than Evans as Soyuncu's aggressive role is much more difficult to pull off and requires more skill than Evans's role. Food for thought if nothing else.

Corky Posted 17 August 2020 Posted 17 August 2020 Not so much an awful opinion, more a football grinding gears thing but 5 things we learned/ you missed during a match report. Usually 5 things you saw, for example in the Sevilla v Man United game one thing you missed was Man United scoring a penalty according to one paper.
