It should be on the red button I imagine. It's not, on displaced Saturday games the home team decides if it is live streamed domestically and Blackpool have chose not to. They’re a right bunch of wankers aren’t they? That said, it could be a blessing.

If he goes, West Brom will get well compensated. I agree that it would have been more painful had he left us for them.

City only had it overturned before because those putting forward their case against them ran out of time, not because of any proved innocence on Citys part. Now, it looks like the PL have actually grown a pair and are actually going for them properly. From their point of view its a case of do they want their competition ( the PL ) to have any credibility. The accusation being a club has quite blatantly cheated for years, winning trophies along the way as a result. 98 breaches of FFP regulations!! They'll be a lot of lawyers rubbing their hands together thats for certain. If found guilty there no point fining Man City.. thats meaningless.. it'll be relegation I would think. I’ve not read up on the finer details, but would they have any of their honours taken away? I’m pretty sure that happened to Juventus. Obviously, City will probably throw money after money in court cases and would the Premier League risk losing that sort of club with wealthy backers?

The Premier League has accused Manchester City of breaching its financial rules following an investigation.
It has referred the club to a commission over alleged breaches between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.
In 2020 City had a two-year ban from European club competitions overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), after Uefa had ruled that City committed "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016.

I said when he went there that I was pleased he was getting the chance of a wider audience to subject him to the ridicule he deserved and I couldn’t wait for his meltdown on MOTD … I must say, I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. Total crank.

It’s absolutely baffling. His emergence had been the one real positive this season. To find himself out of the squad at the expense of [insert your own scapegoat] is just bizarre.

Next four games (Blackpool, Wigan, Stoke, Birmingham) will decide the season. Gets a lot harder after that. Not feeling massively confident, I have to say.

Random one, would people want us to lose, if he got sacked after? Just get a feeling some people would No, I wouldn’t want us to lose. Every defeat takes us a step closer to relegation. There’s no guarantee we’d sack him and, if we did, no guarantee we’d get someone decent to come in. Just hoping we scrape up and the whole club gets a reset in the summer.

I mean it. If someone gave me £1000 to look after my family but I went down the pub and blew it all on me having a great time, is that the person who gave me the grands fault when my family arent happy they didnt see any of it? But the person who gave you a grand, gave someone else £50k and they’re having a better time with better quality booze! Then someone who arrived at the pub 10 minutes earlier can’t be arsed with the darts cup because finishing mid-table in the dominoes league gives them more money, etc.

Not sure who is more at fault, Chelsea or Sky for the ridiculous money in football at the top level now. Never got the blaming of Sky for the money issues in the game. Sky give football billions every year.. its up to football to manage that money properly for the good of the game, not Sky. 🎣Nice try, Captain!

Rangers 55, Celtic 53 (let’s face it!), Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen 4, Dumbarton 2 (the first few in the 1890s), Dundee and Dundee United 1, Motherwell and Kilmarnock 1 and Third Lanark in 1904!

I’m not sure how you come to the conclusion it was competitive up until 1988. Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs have won 4 each, Dumbarton 2, five other teams 1 since 1890! During the 80's Aberdeen and Dundee Utd were serious competition for Celtic and Sevco I remember, but Dundee United only won it once in 82-83. Aberdeen three times (79-80, 83-84, 84-85) then lost their manager (whatever happened to him?) and their better players. So, the Scottish league was competitive between 1979 and 1985.

Don’t get this Chelsea negativity. Surely any club can spend as much as they want as long as they don’t break the rules. As for Everton the owner has clearly invested a significant sum of money poorly. Seems to me he is stuck at the moment using the money he is prepared to put in needing to use this to pay the escalating costs of the new stadium. That policy is what’s destroyed footy softboy.... especially in Scotland. We had a truly competitive League until a guy called David Murray took over Rangers in 1988 and subsequently used his bloated ego to - with his friends from the Scottish establishment - bankroll trophy after trophy after trophy for his new pet project and the game in the top league here has never ever recovered here and probably never again will... Now Murray spent as much as he wanted on players to cheat his his fellow competitors in the top league until he was caught by thankfully HMRC in ENGLAND, trust me it would never have happened in Corrupt, Bent, Dishonest, and Fraudulent Scotland (at an establishment level anyway) ! Our League is eternally F#cked because of This utter SCUMBAG of The EARTH, WORLD, PLANET, UNIVERSE, call it whatever, He got caught breaking the ‘rules’ while playing within these ‘rules’ and the square root of zilch has been done to him and never will (tho no doubt if he was in an HONEST country like England he’d be in the Tin Pail (jail) now !!! SCUM like Murray and many others will find ways to break the rules ALWAYS they will so I respectfully disagree with the above in bold softboy... Money has destroyed the game (in Scotland in the top league anyway) and all I can say is Thank God for the likes of HUDDERSFIELD TOWN, and DUMBARTON FC and CLACHNACUDDIN of The Highland League - a million miles away from the dishonest owners of our top Leagues (and probably mostly second tier) owners who are destroyed a once great game and it’s sadly a thing of the past - top league competition - !!!! I’m not sure how you come to the conclusion it was competitive up until 1988. Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs have won 4 each, Dumbarton 2, five other teams 1 since 1890!

I'm trying to find a word stronger than despair tonight, but I'm stuck. It's almost like a bad joke now. Two keepers on deadline day, both coming from our wierd new relationship with that fat Greek guy. It’s not new. We lost our manager, right back, left back and star player to him last summer. We didn’t complain about the Wembley decisions and no one knows if there was an agreement in place about the gate receipts or whatever has previously happened. All in all, it’s either a sad state of affairs or dodgy as fuck!

The League Cup is not a major cup final (Bradford getting hammered by Swansea anyone?), but pleased for you nonetheless! When you consider it's one of only 3 domestic trophies the top two division sides can win each year, and when you see in the 9 years since that final, only Man City (6), Man Utd, Chelsea, and Liverpool have won it, and that it's the only trophy that Spurs, and even Villa, have won since the PL was formed in 1992, I'd argue otherwise, and we'll have to agree to disagree on that mate, but thanks for the kind words It’s a bugbear of mine how the domestic cups have been devalued … even the FA Cup, but not begrudging you a great day out!

Must be great to be a Newcastle fan right now. Hope they get to the final. Going to be jumping in there before the game tonight with Schak on the decks at the request of the owner after seeing him just setting up outside the ground after games It is indeed, and thanks. Can't really describe the change in just about everything at the club these past 15 months or so. Crazy. It was looking like it was going to be a very comfortable night at 2-0 (3-0), but that Adams goal 10 minutes later made it a weird feeling, still in a great position in the tie, but just one goal ahead on the night and them in the ascendancy. Lavia on at half time made a big difference, and especially with the red, it was hanging on at the end, despite still having the two goal cushion. No complaints with the red, unlucky in some ways with how it played out (in terms of not meaning it), but he had to go - ironic for Southampton that he'll miss two matches against sides right down with them at the bottom (West Ham and Bournemouth). Happy for Bruno and for Newcastle's perspective that he'll be back for the final. We may well lose the final and not finish top 4 anyway, but if it was a case of win the cup and finish 5th /6th, or lose the final and finish 4th, it would be the former option every time for me, and him being back for the final massively helps with that. I am just about old enough to remember the back to back FA Cup finals in the late 90's, but while we will still be underdogs against Man Utd (prob 40/60), we should be in a far better position to compete this time as on both occasions back then it was a lower mid table side against the league champions, and the treble winners in the case of 1999, whereas now, there is a feeling that we can beat just about anyone in a one off match, and win or lose, I just can't wait to see them back in a major final. The League Cup is not a major cup final (Bradford getting hammered by Swansea anyone?), but pleased for you nonetheless!

If we’ve missed out on loaning LOB due to some sort of personal spat with the club management, then I hope everyone learns a lesson and grows up a bit. Having someone like that back in our team would have put a different complexion on things this Saturday. It’s Hoyle’s modus operandi. Hanging out people to dry. I was always surprised Rhodes came back after being slated (one of many or often threatened).

Great game, feel for Wrexham though, commentator said they have 8 games in Feb, hope the cup run doesn't knack their promotion challenge up. I hope it does! League 1 wages in non-league so the extra games might even it up.

My patience has run out. As much as I think Fothers has done a decent job with a poor deck of cards, losing yet again today, with an appalling account of the game in the Oggy interview, we definitely need a change. We need Dyche in or another tactician and motivator. The Ex-Burnley director is with us now too. We're similar clubs in many ways. Isn’t Dyche off to Everton? Even if he isn’t, not a chance he’d come to Town.
