(Score currently 2-2 so by no means certain that they get through). Which makes you also wonder if the poor support is affecting the players.

oafcmetty Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I like the way they do it in France. If there's 2 divisions separating the clubs, the smaller team plays at home. Something like that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to cope with the rampant double barrelled Jamie Reckord-Reckford. Very strange atmosphere with a small number of fans in one stand. Looks strange with the camera facing the three empty stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure I can criticise either...... one has been instrumental () in getting the atmosphere going at away games and the other single handily caused a riot in Portsmouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any. This will have little impact to small clubs IMO. However, if it moves further to round three, then that is a pisstake. If we'd have gone to extra time against Everton the other year, we'd have been about 100x times more likely to win than in the replay, where we were always going to get done.

Definitely. You get one chance against the big boys. Usually when your playing at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the overall distribution of wealth in the game is a joke- particularly through the academies. However on this partcular point I think it makes overall common sense. The decision isn’t just about the rare or very infrequent lost income for league one and two, there is fixture congestion in all leagues. The championship and prem are quite rightly allowed a say on that. If in Jan/Feb we are doing well, do we want a replay that saps our league form? I personally like the idea of having a prem side at BP in round 5 where there must a be winner. If your at that stage, you’ve already made a good few quid. I’d rather that, than a heroic draw which gives you an energy sapping replay. Which the underdog never wins, and very often affects league form. The cup is nice, and financially good. (This won’t change that dramatically) The league is what matters IMO. The greedy league fixture list congestion is being created by the FA deciding to have a winter break. Stupid as far as I am concerned. The pampered primadonnas don't need a winter break. What's the odds the clubs not involved in Europe go off to play a lucrative friendly somewhere. Years ago if a replay ended in a draw there was another replay and the clubs tossed a coin to decide where it would be played. The police stopped all that insisting on at least a weeks notice before a game could be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That young lad Sesignon will most likely play. He'll cause us major problems. Spurs put out a very strong team last night to keep up momentum. I don't think Fulham will, it's far more important for them to try and stay in the Prem., but I think they are fighting a losing battle.
