RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted January 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2019 Whilst most of the premier league shows contempt for the competition and their opponents by fielding weakened sides they'll always be upsets. What I don't get is why teams that haven't won the cup in decades still think finishing in the top half of the league is better. Have both and give the fans days out they will remember forever.

cary hill Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Oh well another F.A.Cup 'disaster' for Leicester City caused largely by Claude Puel's continued erratic and bizarre team selections. Why would you pick a midfielder who hasn't played a competitive match for 10 months to start and then replace him with another midfield player who is not even in the Premiership Squad and also hasn't played for a year when you need a goal? I'm heartily sick of Puel's disdain for Cup competitions as he has already tossed away two League Cup Quarter Finals vs Manchester City by picking weak teams. Just the epic struggle to finish 7th in the Premier League left now and probably nine more home helpings of Puel Boreball. At least we probably won't be relegated this season Edited January 6, 2019 by cary hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the money "graded" in the Prem as well? The higher up you finish, the more you get... Probably easily exceeds the money from a cup run...

It's the same reason that you don't get Final Score on the BBC on international break weeks. Only the Premier League,. I and the race to get into it, count for anything these days. I think the prize money for winning the F.A. Cup is about £2 million, which is less than the prize money for being relegated from the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Collier Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 My heart says I'd love a chance of winning the FA cup but my head says I'd swap Brighton's cup victory over Bournemouth with the league defeat there 4 weeks ago all day long......

andyram Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It appears that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence! Gary Rowett sacked by Stoke. I was actually delighted to see him leave Derby in the summer, his brand of defensive unattractive football was turning the fans away in droves and I could not see us any making any progress with him in charge. I think the chairman played a blinder there - telling him there was no money so that he would start to look elsewhere, then take a hefty compensation payment from Stoke who had been sniffing around since January. Great business. I did think Rowett's brand of no frills football would suit Stoke - they have been playing that sort of stuff for years. It appears, that their fans actually have more footballing knowledge than I gave them credit for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyram Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Feel sorry for the Burton fans and the players. But they have done brilliantly to reach the semi finals. Well done to Nigel and the boys. Although - I had a 25/1 bet on City to win 8-0 tonight! Good job I cashed out when they got the 8th goal with twenty minutes left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup is about £2 million, which is less than the prize money for being relegated from the PL Absolutely 62613, plus the way that the many decades of First Division football (as competitive, if not considerably more so, than the Premier League) are almost totally ignored by the media - I am fed up of shouting at the TV every time a new 'Premier League' record is announced, which of course includes only football played in the last 25 years, as if nothing existed before then.

Hobby Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 To be fair when City broke lots of records last year some of them pre-dated the Premier League and were reported as "Top Flight" records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I think most City (indeed most English) fans would say "Who?". This thread tends to give FW more publicity than all the English press put together!! I see Pep was having one of his "chats" with the Burton players after as well! I'd love to know what he said to them. Edited January 10, 2019 by Hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
