Look forward to the day when there's no more teams playing proper first team players against Manchester United then, because then we'll finally not see results like when Villa and Fulham played them. God, that's horrible. Playing their best side against bloody MANCHESTER UNITED and getting POINTS?!?! Obviously for our first match the season we went down, Keegan also should have played our reserves. That's what football is all about!

No, they have seven first team players out injured.

Answer:

Not again. Did you by the way at your own post in your own post?

Not again. I've pretty much complained about it every single time a game has been canceled in England since I registered on here.

It's all health and safety though mate..crowd safety. So you can't have people watching a footy match at the stadium because it's cold/snowing? It makes no sense. Then again, I'm Norwegian. Where the African nations have short breaks for water due to the immense heat, we have short breaks for the snow to be shoveled off the pitch.

Fucking English sissies. "Ooh, it's cold. We can't play football when it's cold. Hur hur hur." Pretty sure St. James' has under soil heating as well so the pitch can't get frozen regardless, or am I mistaken?

You English canceling matches just 'cause it's cold.

No. We're not wusses who can't handle the cold Like Chelsea got to experience in 1997 http://g.api.no/obscura/www.nordlys.no/510x510r/00999/1162209560000_CHELSEA010_999595510x510r.jpg

You English are sissy girls when it comes to snow. http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/543/543238/5432380/jpg/active/960x.jpg http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/543/543277/5432774/jpg/active/503x.jpg/img%5D http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/543/543188/5431881/jpg/active/320x.jpg Real men say "fuck the weather" and play football anyways.

Paul Merson speaks sense for once:

No. But I like your humour.

I'm a big Ranger fan and while I would like to see him starting a few more games ahead of Marlon, I would still prefer Harewood in our squad rather than one of our promotion rivals. I'd quite like to see him in one of our promotion rivals' squads, means they'd only have 10 players on the pitch. Quite a stupid response really. No, he's utter shit.

You're asking why its worse to accept defeat than to go for victory ? No, to presume victory. Dont see the difference You put out a side you think realistically capable of a victory & you're going for the points. Thats the whole point of the game. If you have sides lower in the league giving up in advance that just ruins the point of them even playing eachother. Seems obvious why thats worse. I was just posing the question really. As in what's worse, to accept that no matter what you do you will lose a match and cut your losses for the more important battle? Or to put out a weak team presuming that you will win irregardless and jeapordise your chances of picking up 3 points. There's no definitive answer on which is worse, yet there's a definitive view that the former are cowards but never that the latter are cavalier. Do you see where I'm coming from with this? Your computer at home? I can't see you, mind. You're quite a bit of distance away from me, so I'm just assuming that's where you're coming from with that. Im that bloke outside in the tree naked with the laptop for a head. Oh, I was wondering who that guy was. His penis was so small I was starting to worry it had frozen off in the -23 degrees.

18242 out of 40157 isn't even half full. Last season their average attendance was 37955. And they knew what they were coming to see, a match for absolutely nothing but honor. And Everton could and should've (imo) have won it with the chances they spurned. Fwiw, we created fuck all. I watched the match as well mate, you had two or three chances which should've gone in. Like that (i can't remember his name, aggard?) shot just before the end of it. BATE had pretty much fuck all and got lucky. I'll very rarely say this, but they had most of the control of the match. If they had better attacking players, they'd have won by more. They were shit man That being said, the match itself was pretty shit in general.

The players on the pitch appeared to be trying to win it even if it was a meaningless match as well, which you can't say for Wolves.

Different scenario. Different approach to the game. Different attitude on the pitch. Pretty much nothing similar. Manager decides what team to pick based on his opinion of the importance of the match. It's no different at all. The match has no effect on any of the involved parties, and very few people paid to come watch.

Arsenals second string isn't a bad team tbf. And they at least try to win their matches, plus they have some first teamers mixed in for experience. They don't really care if they get knocked out of the mickey mouse cup, aye. But they, as any football club should, still try to get as far as they can.
