Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

Well if United play like that this afternoon (as they did against MK Dons) a couple of years ago I would be extremely dischuffed, abject display from Saints given their mid table position, no need to rest players.

Yes l quite agree with your sentiments as to me if l am going to a match and paying £30 plus a ticket l expect a strong side to be put out but perhaps some have got more money then sense on the odd occasion.

Yes just mentioning the MK Dons match gave me a fair chuckle this morning Jim but alas our team can't talk.

Seems like the Merseyside malaise is spreading.

At least he will ride far more quickly to the rescue against the mighty Chelsea in midweek.

Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

First half was poor, nine changes doesn't help. Good job Wigan are so poor, a good run out for the stiffs.

Yes the disappearing act of the season finally made a appearance and scored a goal.

Yes, nice to put four past a side in the bottom half of the Championship.

Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

Fortunately, since my team is so poor atm, the FA Cup is not a worry (again).

But if I were one of the teams still in it, I would be very irritated by this habit in recent years of putting out weak teams.
If I pay to watch my team, I expect them to put out the best team possible, especially when a trip to Wembley cup final is in the offering.

Too much football that's the issue and when forced to choose the FA Cup ranks below the Premier League. The top teams want to concentrate on winning the league or getting into Europe. The bottom teams have worst squad depth and want to stay in the league. Some Championship teams will be aiming to get into the Premier League.

There are fixtures tomorrow and Wednesday which forced a lot of teams to rest players.

Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

Yeah, Sky booked us is for a few TV slots matched with the already absurd schedule leaving us with QPR on Wednesday and shortly after we have 3 away games in 7 days because of TV picks. We had pretty decent depth at the start of the season, it's faded away with sudden injuries to 3 of our 4 strikers and combined with the desire not to get the likes of Ritchie, Shelvey and co injured we fielded a youth/fringe team albeit with the Serbian brute leading the line.

We still should've beat Oxford but truth be told, they were hoping for a Draw or a Brighton draw, as long as one of us drew the result would have been a happy one and ruined Sky's TV picks and resolved this fixture mess.

Yup. It's getting absurd. It's all football, all the time. Televisions trying to get as much football being televised as possible and it causes havoc with the fixture schedule. It's the same as the packed Christmas schedule, we make teams play more football at the time of year injuries will be more common.

Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

Liverpool now have to play just 16 games till the end of the season, Chelsea a maximum of 19, City, Arsenal and United will have to play nearer to 30.

To play Premier league games just two or three days after FA Cup games is forcing teams to massively rotate their squads, even those with bigger squads to start with.

In the 15 days before the EFL Cup Final United will play 3 games and the Saints none, just doesn't stack up.

Re: FA Cup 2016/2017

Just ain't the same any longer -you expect the non league team to win when the professionals put the under 12's out. I blame Sky, the Champions League and the Premiership.
FA Cup RIP.
