I see those brown envelopes still aren't doing the job, after all that effort we put into flooding the pitch at Wimbledon too.

This seasons cup is mental. Almost all the big hitters are still in it because of that European bollocks which basically separated them last round. We’ve  got very little chance.

You never know, the bigger sides are more likely to rest players for this as the prize money is peanuts. That said they often have the depth to rest players and still have loads of quality. If nothing else now that it's at home this is a chance for us to try something a little different with not a lot to lose.

If you don't want to be a "plucky underdog" and you want to become a big hitter, you've got to beat the big hitters.

that would be the dream but we have more chance of winning it if we spawn a few cup draws and then have a one off match v big hitter in the final.

Aye but Pep aside all the other managers are going to want to win a cup and this presents them with the easiest opportunity.

I'd rather lose to a big hitter before the final tbh, sick of losing finals to those cunts.

think Pep said that we're not going to waste energy on the league cup and will play youngsters.

at first that sounds disrespectful but pep always wants to win everything. but the extra champions league games and potentially 7 additional club world cup games means something has to give.  

 

i guess its an "opportunity" for the youngsters. although tottenham away might end their run early on.

Narrator:- this did not end their run.

Stefan Borson on x just tweeted on the APT case.  he suggests the case concluded a while back and that it's outcome is still being written up.

 

doesn't sound hopeful based on that tweet but hopefully the tweet is about balance and managing expectations.

of course the PL postponing a vote could just be whilst they reword their dodgy APT clause

Said elsewhere that this won't be the end of this kind of rule, but it will hopefully be a loosening of the shackles. 

 

I can't imagine we'll see "Aramco @ St James' Park" for £300m, or anything. But we might get more money, for more APT deals, more quickly.

Expand  

Isn’t the case about whether it’s anti-competitive to block the deals? Not sure a rewording would work in the instance.

 

You win this and we can effectively do what we like. They’d tie themselves up in knots trying to justify why certain deals aren’t FMV. We’ll see you at the top soon.

 

Top of national league north that is.

Wow. Darren Eales stepping down with CLL? My dad has the same.

That's awful news. Sorry about your dad too, KD.

Cheers. If you're going get Leukaemia it may as well be this one. It's remitting/relapsing so they just keep an eye on your bloods every 6months and give you treatment as/when you need it. You can have it and be symptom free for years. 

 

Edit - I'm guessing it's CLL with Eales btw. Hopefully he stays well as long as possible 

Edited September 27, 2024 by Kid Dynamite

I don't think it's related to the recent unrest with Howe/Mitchell. It's not the boss that makes way in a situation like that. 

 

Hopefully he does have the version you mention though.

Possibly. He's not long behind Staveley out of the door 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14811]

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. The fact he’s staying on until a successor is appointed, which I imagine takes a decent chunk of time for a role like his, hopefully suggests they’ve caught it early and he can continue to keep busy

ah, that's different to the thing my mother-in-law had then. she had this really rare form (MF), her odds were never great. sounds like hopefully eales stands a better chance of getting through it.
