I think it’s a pisstake if we don’t get anyone in. I’m sorry but the 2 areas you would upgrade ahead of the summer would have been RW, and then either CB, or a forward player. If we have the money to bid £65m for Guehi and it isn’t enough, we should have either been getting an alternative CB, or more preferably a RW. Failure to do so is shambolic, and I don’t care if our director of football has only been in the job a couple of months, or anything else that’s went on. They have put their own plan back 2 years at least here.

I’ve said this before, but a week or so before our takeover was announced, the head of their official supporters group stood outside the SOL with an ‘Immigrants not welcome’ sign without any condemnation. In 2016 their city voted for Brexit on the back of racist views peddled by the likes Farage, even though it threatened the biggest employer on Wearside. Large amounts of their fans argued to defend Adam Johnson for having sexual relations with an underage girl, even when the allegations first came out they sang ‘He shags who he wants’. To this day you can still find some of them saying he could do a job for them. Only Millwall beat them in dropping the BLM kneel ahead of games because of the negative reaction from their own fans. In their most recent councillor elections from May this year, Reform got a large percentage of their votes, coming 2nd in many seats. Their whole thing about defending human rights in relation to our takeover is as transparent as a fucking window.

Was he forced into it though? Didn’t we reject an tournament somewhere in favour of doing what we wanted?

So. Like I said, it might even mean juggling the domestic fixtures to do it so a League games is moved back or forward a few days to fit it in. It should be done that way instead.

I agree with the sentiment, however if you’re a smaller club and you get drawn with Man Utd away, because of the way cup games tickets sales are distributed, you’d financially be better off drawing away.

It does though. For example last year teams were tied. AC Milan and Inter are opposite tied, so they can’t play at home the same week as each other. We were opposite tied with Arsenal, so we couldn’t play on the same day as them. All you have to do is go to UEFA and tie the teams so they don’t end up playing at the same time if there was a clash.

So fuck. Play it on a Friday, and play their Premier League game on a Sunday or Monday night. There is a way around it, they just wanted the effective bye. Or, and this is a big once, since our draw was made first, go to UEFA and ask them not to fucking draw the clubs together in the European competitions.

Nah, just this round. By the end of this round the chance of them playing each other is pretty much certain in anyway.

You just rearrange the League Cup rounds to the week the European teams don’t play. It’s fairly fucking simple like.

We should just swap with Chelsea. Absolutely no fucking need for us to be going to Wimbledon on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, and absolutely no fucking need for Barrow to go to London when they can just cross the A66 and come up the A1.

We need to do a lot of work in the training ground. We are nowhere near where we should be. Also after a great defence in his first full season, I’m starting to feel that he is defensively naive as I thought he was before he joined. We have a lot of work, a lot of work.

We aren’t Man Utd man.

Only just avoided Chelsea.

It can happen, just unlikely.

Barrow at home would be amazing like. Not going to happen though, they will absolutely want us out asap.

Most lower league clubs were probably in favour. Manage to get to this round and you have 6 chances of getting a big team.

Play it when the next round is due. You miss out on a weeks worth of prep time, so fuck. Don’t like the rules about being in it, then play your proper youth team and go out, or just forfeit in anyway.

Soon, but Sky Sports soon. So half 1 in the morning, and after every gambling company has had 30 seconds of air time.

Everton get 2 points deductions, Forest get a points deduction, Leicester on the verge of getting a points deduction, then the Premier League and UEFA just look at what Chelsea are doing and give them a cheeky smile.

Shouldn’t matter. Just play the games on the week they don’t fucking play.

Absolute no need for them to be seeded, they even say it’s to prevent a fixture clash in Europe. There is no fixture clash, there is no potential for a fixture class, it’s glass ceiling generation.

Not see it earlier? They did a pre-draw that was actually rigged, 4 out of the 6 teams got home tied. The first 4 were all drawn at home, Dawson kept the red ball in his hand and they only changed it up when Chapman joked about all the home ties.

Oh right, so what’s the fucking point then? ’We’ll let you in this time, but you need to promise not to do it again’.

They won’t kick them out now, and if they do you just know that they’ll give their space to the shit team they beat in the qualifiers instead of us.

Yeah. 3 games in and we have been outplayed, and out performs by 3 team who will be in a relegation battle for the majority of this season.
