Not watched a match other than wolves for weeks I think. Its not football, its just adverts for betting interspersed with some soulless kick about.

There has been some grim games - Newcastle/Leicester yesterday (first half especially) and Everton/West Ham have been particularly bad this weekend. Some decent games in there too though

At least we will know our attendance of over 100,000 won't be broken

Southampton v Shrewsbury is in doubt as well. No idea if the FA Cup has the same League Cup rules of can't play the early rounds - out the Cup you go. (Southampton the team that will pull the plug on this one)

 

[Lupo]

They said yesterday that any team that cannot fulfil their scheduled FA Cup fixture must forfeit the tie

Gone back on that today. Now undecided, presumably because it's a PL team

Ha I did wonder if such a thing would stand if it disadvantaged one of the favoured

Now seems the issue is at Shrewbury.....so back to the forfeit option

Looks like Villa v Liverpool is going to join it

 

[Kenny]

Fast approaching having to take a month or so off here.
