Possibly the worst decision that's been made in amongst all those that are aimed at placating the biggest clubs. Spurs are clearly going to win this now, but Tamworth deserved a replay at Spurs for that performance over 90 minutes. What an experience that would have been for the players and the fans, not to mention the huge financial windfall. Fuck the FA, the PL and UEFA.
My mate played against Celtic at Parkhead in one of the European comps and he says it’s one of the greatest moments in his life. Up there with having kids, getting married, etc.

The FA have proved to be spineless in this decision over cup replays. They have turned the best club knockout competition in the entire world, into an also ran. Man Utd started the rot when they withdrew in whatever year it was. If big clubs are worried about tiredness then they should rotate their squads, or play U23’s like they do for the EFL Trophy.

Great post.

Football is for the select few and it is only going to get worse.

The distance between clubs and their supporters is getting bigger and bigger.

Just look at the cost of attending the Cardiff game for example. It's £50 which includes the ticket and coach travel that you have no choice in using.
 
Congreve's goal if anyone hasn't seen it:

Viewer Discretion Warning: Contains scenes of a Swansea City player playing positive, purposeful attacking football around the opposition area instead of stat padding. Some Swansea fans may find the following scenes unsettling.

 
On this...

Has anyone seen that ITV are airing Championship games live this year? They've got a Leeds game in a few weeks on ITV1, and then few on ITV4 after that. Completely blindsided me
Itv have deal with sky, 5 matches to the end of this season and 10 matches next
 
Grealish is all sun tan and head bands 😅
He's an annoying lad, but what's happened to him at Citeh sums up the problems with Guardiola and all his wannabe imitators. He was an exciting old-school player at Villa, always looking to take people on and make something happen. He's gone to Man City and had all that programmed out of him, now he looks like just any other robotic footballer.
