Surprised this hasn't been discussed yet (unless ive totally missed it somewhere) but next years League Cup will be seeded to ensure the teams playing in Europe cant play each other until at least the 5th round. "The Carabao Cup has been forced to adopt a new “seeding mechanism” to ease the fixture pile-up caused by the extended Champions League format. Rankings will ensure Champions League qualifiers do not draw Europa League teams, with third-round EFL Cup fixtures now spread over two weeks to further ease congestion. The league has left its options open for the fifth round when it becomes clear whether there could be any further clashes with European competition. The Europa Conference League (European football’s third tier) will affect any round three for the domestic competition as its group stages start at a later date. Unprecedented fixture chaos next season had previously prompted clubs to warn they might be be forced to field their kids in the Carabao Cup." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/29/carabao-cup-seeding-system-keep-big-clubs-apart-next-season/ So to ease congestion they make it easier for them to get through and... play more games The game is so fucking corrupt its beyond belief

More like the Man vs Food guy

At least we have the rejected bids from Bayern in January to show fair market value when a PIF club shows an interest

Not really a surprise after seeing the photos of the leaving the night club on Monday AM

Then a Saudi company can sponsor it and donate the naming rights back 'to Newcastle United Club Shop'

Anyone got (or know of) any spares for any games.

The new City shirt is a shocker, the main/only feature is the Manchester dialing code 0161 "If it’s Sky Blue, it’s 0161. That’s Manchester Calling." Fuck off

Last few games its been Anderson typically moving into his space and making it difficult for him to get involved, there has been very little positional/tactical understanding between him, Hall and Anderson.

Must have been reading the forum at half time

Been a running theme the last 5 games, either too deep or fannys about rather than getting the ball into the box quickly
