Teslact Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Even if they had to keep them separated, after drawing their opponent it should have been a coin toss for who is home/away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder75 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The home away for the UCL/UEL was drawn before our game, so it could have gone either way. Now it ended with 4 home and 2 away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 What is the reason for the European teams avoiding the second round by the way when the European competitions don't start for another month? Skipping a round was one thing but seeding them so they can't meet another one of the top teams, and also giving 4 of them home ties by default is a real kick in the teeth to the lesser teams and non Premier League teams who really try for the League Cup at this stage. They're sucking the enthusiasm out of the only teams and fans who care about the thing protecting the top clubs like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) So after telling us how we can and can’t spend our own money. Forcing us to sell homegrown players. Now they’re deciding that they don’t have to play the really good teams and also they get to play the game where they want. What the fuck is the point. Rip the rules up and start again. Football has jumped several very sizeable fat sharks. Edited August 28 by Joelinton7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just play the games on the week they don’t fucking play. im not defending it, but if Arsenal play in week 1 and Liverpool week 2 and they draw each other where do they fit the game in? as I said, id have banned them from the competition if the rules had to be changed to accommodate them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think the cup sponsors want to keep the cartel clubs sweet, and the more of them in the semi finals onwards the better. They'll hardly want a West Ham or even us in the final.

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.

Miggys First Goal Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Who the fuck signed off on these new rules? Did lower league teams, for example, even get a say in it, or was it a case of like it or lump it from the corrupt six?

Manage to get to this round and you have 6 chances of getting a big team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
