Well, looking at the available (or lack of) seats now available for Swansea, I'll have Kevin and Kathy Covid and their snotty nosed kids next to me, as will most of us. Not much availability left. Hope they sort out the previous shambles of checking Covid passes this time or we won't kick off before 5pm let alone 3pm.

Arsenal out. A few all Premier League ties in the draw. Beat Barnsley and we could sneak all the way to Wembley.

Hell we got a mention in a Squires footy cartoon. Too much to ask for the panel to mention who scored rather than who wasn't there?

All that money at Newcastle and the best they can get is Chris Wood.
RE: Burnley in t' cup - theo_luddite - 11-01-2022
Newcastle fans getting a Woody on for that one?
£25m? - they could have all our side for that - and have had more chance of beating Cambridge.
Thing is, both Chelski and The Blue Mancs went through the stages of paying stupid money for bog average (or maybe a bit above but not much) players in order to get where they are now. In the meantime it inflates the market for everyone else. Won't be long before League 2 transfers see £1m as standard - even though barely one of them can afford it.
