I saw two great Rooney finishes in this game

Yeah these are all massive issues (and I haven’t really seen a single suggestion that has made me think ‘that’ll work well’), I just don’t see how voiding the season solves any of them (without causing a new/equivalent problem ofc)

This is the best solution I’ve seen someone suggest so far to get the season finished. Not without its own problems, but makes a certain amount of sense.

the trajectory of that, ooft. when the ball gets up to its peak and barely dips, just sort of stays there?

Saw this goal at the old Wembley with my mum and step dad, drove down on a school night I think.

There’d been chat that Fergie had flown to Argentina to try and sign him. Definitely lived up to the hype.

Just give teams the option of sacking off the Carabao and/or FA Cups.

Son vs Burnley is the only one I can think of :woman_shrugging:

I don’t think we’re going to find a solution if everybody simply champions whatever suggestion’s best for the club they support.

Void the season is genuinely looking like the only option.
Reports of measures being in place until September here, fuck knows whats gonna happen in Italy and Spain. Can’t see champions league or europa league happening next season with the cycling on off of travel bans.
None of it matters, the non league teams threatening legal action about currently being top when the non league have voided the season while people are dying look fucking pathetic.

Now’s not the time for naked self-interest. I understand the disappointment, but yeah, now’s really not the time.

It’s perfect though. Many teams view these competitions as not very important. Even lower league teams rest players for these cups.

I don’t agree. These clubs have barely any money and need to survive. These small clubs are important to people.

See, this sort of attitude to me is evidence that football’s broke. A supporter of a club who’ve won two trophies in twelve years, one of those by your logic meaningless, glibly dismissing winning trophies.

City winning the FA Cup in 10/11 was for me, as a supporter, on a par with us winning the title a season later. Ask a matchgoing United fan if they’d sooner win the Europa League or finish a place higher. Is Liverpool’s treble of Cups under Houllier worthless?

Armchair fan stuff.

the ones threatening legal action?

It’ll never end if they go through with it. The relegated teams would counter sue.

Absolute gospel.

Pisses me off no end.

Arsenal fans last season going on about “I’d take losing the Europa League final if it guaranteed Spurs don’t win the CL” absolute morons.

The games gone.

In most cases, promotion for these clubs will mean vastly increased costs - whether travelling or increased playing budgets to try and be competitive at a higher level. The financial benefits of promotion, aside from perhaps Step 2 into Step 1, are likely to be negligible.
