Presumably there’s a match on tonight, given the FA’s new propensity for spreading - ? Ah. shuffles papers

In other news, a few of the more disinterested Prem teams and Everton were knocked out of the FA Cup. Eddie Howe lays the blame for their Millwall humiliation squarely at the feet of 20 million flop Jordon Ibe. Liverpool meanwhile are forced to a replay. Start swapping yer Lallanas and Firminhos out of your team now, fantasy fans. Otherwise a fairly indifferent round of games, the Imps’ heroics vs. Big Mick’s Men excepted of course.

Does bongo still do the transfer rumours? Could do with that in the next section.

Schneiderlin going to Everton
Llorente going to Chelsea

I appreciate the effort here Ant, don’t think I don’t, but this really isn’t the same.

Underdogs getting draws is shit innit, you always forget about the replay and the good team quietly win 2-0. Should just bin off replays (except they wind up premier league managers so maybe keep them idk)

Can probably make it a thread for the week.

Rakitic should be a very good signing for City if it happens.

Batshuayi to Swansea is quite ridiculous

Niasse is off to hull

the Llorente-Batshuayi swap is one of the most bizarre rumours I’ve ever heard. Feel like it’s so ludicrous it must have some foundation in reality

Apparently it’s dead close to completion! I can see what Batshuayi would want to leave Chelsea to play some games, but to a bigger club than Swanea, and Llorente going the other way is really bizarre.

Carlton Cole (Sacramento Republic) to Orange County Blues or Indy Eleven

16

Thought Joe Riley was crocked. Would be good for him to get a loan, was one of the more impressive of a young uns to get a couple games last year

Thanks Adybongo!

Quincy Promes!

Remember this? Apparently Zlatan gave his wife a framed picture of it for Christmas

It couldn’t possibly be because his contract’s out quite soon and his agent’s angling for better terms.
