The other games today - 2012/13


Recommended Posts

Swansea were above Liverpool in the table before today's game. By fielding the lineup they did, shows they blatantly didn't play to win. The League Cup final is a week away, would've been plenty of time for the regulars to rest after today's game.

 

 

And yes, I'm miffed that Michu didn't get me any more points in fantasy :lol:

Do Swansea get a Europa League spot if they win it?

 

Cardiff weren't going to be given a UEFA Cup spot if they had have won the FA Cup a few years ago because the English FA said it is up to the Welsh FA to put them forward.

I think that's been sorted now.

Do Swansea have a particularly small squad, or a lot of injuries/suspensions at the moment? If the answer to all of these is no, there's no need for wholesale changes IMO. The final is a week away ffs.

 

Can understand Bartley and Monk at the back, to play for the place vacated by Chico next week.

 

But we weakened the midfield and no-one understands Laudrups fascination with Schecter.

 

Aye whenever I've seen him Schechter looked like the definition of a 'all fart and no sh*t' player

Yes we will if we win, Cardiff would have too.

 

Never know, may see Bradford in it.

As much as Swansea will dispute it, action will be taken against them. The end will probably justify the means though.

 

If the end justifies the means, and clubs continue to do this, then the fines will increase and god knows what else they'd do. Point deductions perhaps...

 

Would be good fun to see how many times Man Utd can play a weakened side and avoid deductions.

Unfortunately (IMO) it's not their right, because the PL have fined people for doing this before.

 

Not really since the league have changed the rule regarding 'weakened teams'.

Edit: They have only one 21-yo player in the starting line-up today.

 

Well that's me out then. Was unaware of that.

 

No sanctions it is, I'm fine with that tbh. Although in this instance I still think it's fairly idiotic.

Don't think Bradford's stadium match the UEFA requirements anyway?

Don't the likes of Shamrock Rovers play in the qualification rounds of the Champions League?

About 25K+ seater, should be large enough no?

 

 

Bradford actually have a larger stadium than Swansea :lol:

It's about facilities etc.

I have no qualms about Oldham deserving a result yesterday, but some of the commentary, Christ.

 

"Well it's probably offside, but that's the magic of the cup."

 

"There's all sorts of pushing and shoving going on in there and I'm surprised there's no whistle, but Oldham deserve that."

 

Oh, right, well, that's fine then isn't it? :lol:

They had the facilities to play in the Premier League so you'd think it'd be ok for the Europa given some of the grounds you get on the continent.

They would just play at Elland road, or Huddersfield.
