He pushed someone so he deserves to miss a cup final?

There won’t be ID checks mate. Only issue will be if she’s a concession and you aren’t. Even then I would probably still risk it. Congratulations. You found the Wonka Golden Ticket.

‘If it wasn’t for me coming in and saving them, the club would have went bust’. Another absolute classic from the Ashley playbook.

Think people will be spread out all over watching the match tbh. There’s a few watchalong’s at various places organised by the Trust, but they’re ticketed. I’d just ask about when you’re in and around places on Saturday.

Tbf I think he probably meant it in the context of it being a choice (even if it’s not). And he’s partly right in that outside of finishing top 5, it would be immaterial to a degree.

“Barnes closing in”

The Wembley Wor Flags surfer is revealed…

All the teams in and around us would have fancied us dropping points tonight given the circumstances. Excellent counterpunch from us.

Only scoring 4 against the team third in the league.

Only if we win it…

It’s a European game. If the they were in the Europa / Conference League, they’d be playing on Thursday. UEFA aren’t going to give a shiny shite about domestic second tier cups.

Best off staying around Kings Cross. Won’t get in anywhere near the ground, not that there’s much there anyway.

Apart from that though?

There’s nothing really official about it. Sounds like people will start gathering from mid to late afternoon and it will just get busier from there.

You can probably apply a similar description to everyone in the league bar Liverpool and bottom four. It’s been an odd season all round.

10) Steve McClaren

The bottom layer of cheese, odd, but I can let it slide. However, then going burger-sauce-cheese, rather than burger-cheese-sauce, is utterly bizarre.

Surely the strangest thing is the placement of the cheese?

And everybody clapped.

Looks like the last time the League Cup final was on a Saturday was 1983. Don’t suppose anyone remembers if changing the 84 final (Liverpool v Everton) to the Sunday caused much debate?

It happened to Juve about 15 years ago. Someone got relegated from La Liga more recently than that. I want to say Elche or Eibar.

Spend £300m and it won’t be a ‘points hit’, it’ll be a ‘relegation hit’.

Why would they not get away with it? The rules might be a steaming pile of shit, but as long as they remain the rules, then any team that completely and utterly ignores them will be absolutely hammered. Otherwise you’ve just got total anarchy.

Please relegate us?
