    Well, I quite enjoy it.

    ASLEF, Do we have eight places in European competitions I thought it was only 7?

    UEFA only award Europa League places to cup competitions that include all top flight clubs, if teams already in Europe were excluded UEFA would give the extra place to whoever finished 7th and the Conference place to 8th

    I think you mean 6th and 7th respectively (which is what happens most seasons as invariably the winner has already qualified by other means), or are you suggesting UEFA are going to give us an extra European place if we exclude clubs playing in Europe?

    And that is why I didn't go into the ticket office...

    My point is that if the format of League Cup were changed so that not all Premier League clubs were involved UEFA would remove the Europa League qualification and give to the next highest finishing team in the Premier League

    We'd be the same as every other UEFA country

    ASLEF, If that happened I could see it being the end of the "Insert a Sponsor" Cup. No carrot of European football for the winners, rarely needed as they usually have higher aspirations then teams will either honour a commitment to the EFL Trophy with a group stage to try out their younger players or just risk that being canned as the Premier League sides concentrate on using the now devalued League Cup instead for that purpose.

    Is that definitely the case though? Man Utd didn't play in the FA Cup in 1999-2000, and the FA Cup winner still qualified. Have rules changed since then?

    Wasn't that due to exceptional circumstances (was it the World Club Championships or something similar) and the scheduling made it impossible?

    I think this is a blessing in disguise with the way we seem to have started.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Unsurprisingly, that was Jack Vale's first goal for Blackburn.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    For those who said they think this competition is a waste of time, I doubt it will be wasting much of ours.

    aye and have Fleetwood at home in the second round and will be a TV game on ITV i believe. Fancy a giant killing.
  • HamstewHamstew
    I assume nothing at all is happening as the sky news presenters haven't been back to the ground since we conceded. They've been everywhere else.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Fornals has just equalised.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Yeah Bianca Westwood was saying nothing has happened and then we score as she's talking.
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Could Fornals be our new striker? =)
  • HamstewHamstew
    They should be winning. Did anyone see Connor Coventrys pass of death?
  • stevesteve
    That was some goal of the season .never saw it but in my mind some hit by fornals =)
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift


    Question: where was Antonio's pass meant to go?
