No Alex Scott , dearie me
 
liverpool are fuckng finished aint they haha. i do not worry about them anymore theyve gone to pot. that nunez is a fucking donkey too, people keep saying when it clicks hes going to be unreal but his timing on his finishing is well off, his fucking goal came off his calf he was lucky again

They have an older squad and they sold the worlds best pressing player Mane. For a system based on high energy and pressing getting old and selling Mane is a killer. It reminds me of us when Poch’s squad got old.
 
Newcastle beaten 2-1 by Sheffield Wednesday

League One Sheffield Wednesday secure a massive victory, giving Newcastle just their second defeat of the season !.

Newcastle are the 6th PL side knocked out so far

Cheeky bid for Windass?
 
So the annual discussion in the F.A./Woolwich boardroom tonight " Well lads Spurs are still in the cup, let´s throw them a tough "draw" as usual"

We will of course get City, Chelsea, or LiVARpool
Middlesbrough, Everton, Norwich and Crystal Palace have eliminated us over the last four years. We've not been getting tough draws, we've just fucked it up.

The two years before that we did go out to big teams, but that was in the SF, so not an unlucky draw.

Before that we'd gone out to Crystal Palace (again) and Leicester.

The last time we got a big team before the SF was all the way back in 2014 when we lost to Woolwich.

Yeah, I was about to say the same.

We only tend to get knocked out by the bigger teams when we manage to actually get far enough in the competition for them to take it seriously.
