Mea culpa, I certainly DID NOT watch the video but the brief bit I saw he seemed to be just above our lot so seemed he was on our end. I'm still gutted after the euphoria that tag alongs like this get to see us lift a trophy when others who actually did the 'hard yards' in the past are frozen out. I totally understand that's the way it goes these days, doesn't make it anymore palatable though.

 

You'll have to wait until this becomes a regular thing for us, 3 trips to Wembley every year what with the FA cup semi-finals being there.

Just another thing too.  Not sure if this has been noted.  BUT, not only did we beat Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea.  But we did it when they had a bye in the early rounds as they qualified for Europe. So another thing the FA tried to do to fucking protect their little cartel.

That’s happened for a couple of decades now though?…

I think I know what he's talking about though. There was some fiddle for the teams in Europe where they had like a portioned off draw for the first round they were in it. Can't remember what the mechanics of it were.

Teams in Europe come in at the 3rd round and cannot be drawn against each other. 

 

Good example is Arsenal's route to the semis:

 

- 3rd Round - (H) Bolton

- 4th Round (A) Preston

- Quarters (H) Palace

 - Semis (H and A) DISPATCHED.

What's the rationale for that? Sorry, I mean what's the pretend rationale for that? 

Luckily we will benefit next year I suppose.

I think it was because of the mix of Tue/Wed/Thu games, and the fact they all play on different weeks in Europe at that time, it would have been impossible for games between the teams to happen.

:lol: right bear with me. 

 

This is an Arsenal podcast, but these lads are proper Arsenal fans. Talking about how ridiculous it is that a good portion of their fan base think "it's only the league Cup", and those same fans think they have a divine right to come and take players like Isak off us when we've achieved more than their manager in a shorter period of time, and with less money spent. 

 

Taking the piss out of Arsenal and their constant excuses about what "phase" of the build they're in, whilst Arne Slot wins a trophy in his first year and we've won one coming from basically nowhere. 

 

It's background listening but I'm quite enjoying it. 

 

So there! Fuck you! It's bottom of the barrel time, but these lads are doing better than some of the shit I've seen from our own fanfluencers this week! 

 

 

 

 Good listen that tbh

Fair enough. Looking forward to this advantage next season, I'd love to win this again (along with the FA cup, being realistic in our ambitions).

They mention something about the Man City 115 charges thing coming to a head during this international break. It'll just be guesswork, but I'd be pleased to see that sorted if they're right. It can't be far off and an international window would be a good time to do it.
