Correct if wrong but we have just become only the 7th club to win a domestic trophy in the last 11 years

Yes its grim and likely to get grimmer, thanks to rule changes like PSR and more and more subs letting big clubs face you with 16 stars, not 11.

 

Since Sky etc. won't point it out to you, I'll stick this in capitals in an attempt to grab more eyeballs and make an important point about fairness and competititiveness in English football.

 

WE WON THE FIRST EFL TOURNAMENT TO INCLUDE SEEDING OF TEAMS PLAYING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND EUROPA LEAGUE

THOSE SIX TEAMS ALL GOT AUTOMATIC HOME DRAWS IN THE THIRD ROUND (LAST 32) SO THEY WOULDN'T PLAY EACH OTHER

 

The higher ups and their media lapdogs don't want to share trophies round. That's why they talk of "quadruples". Liverpool didn't even reach the last 8 in the Champions League. That's about as close to winning as some long-forgotten England manager, say Capello, came to winning the World Cup.

Not taking away from your point, but it was all 7 teams and they didn’t all get a home draw, most of them did, but not all of them.

They aren't guaranteed home draws, but still ridiculous. The more "the others" can disrupt things like this the better. This season it was Villa instead of Chelsea (though they still drew Barrow at home). Next season could be Forest and us (or Brighton / Bournemouth) instead of Man United and Spurs. 

 

Steal as many trophies, league places, and European spots as possible and some of these rules will start to disappear.

Saw a few half/half scarves yesterday mind 🤢

 

All the kiosks were selling them outside the ground

 

I found the whole Wembley experience much better this time than 2 years ago (result helped obv) but the tubes in and out were great and not packed and found the atmosphere outside the ground before the match better

29th apparently.  All the local police have had their leave cancelled.

 

May or this month? Thought it might be at the end of the season.

Whereas some teams had byes and a pre arranged home tie against weak opposition

Brilliant. Didn’t even know this was a thing!

 

A plane "water salute" is a traditional aviation ceremony where firefighting vehicles spray water in an arc over a plane, symbolizing respect and marking special occasions like retirements, inaugural flights, the arrival/departure of a significant aircraft or airline, or the winning of a significant trophy!

:clap:

Not even 24hrs have gone by yet. I would say it's unbelievable but sadly it's not.

Nick Miller being a pretentious dickhead? I’m shocked.
