[Langers]

I've had to start following him. It was his answers to the Q&A before the game that made my mind up.

I really hope Jeff Shi keeps the fuck away from social media.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Fosun are a big conglomerate, I would expect and so far have seen the behaviour of a professional outfit well versed with making business decisions and acting in a proper manner.

Aren't there some question marks about the Villa owners wealth, his behaviour is at best on the naive side at worst just plain bizaar.

 

[Nando]

The absolute state of that.

FFS.

Trying to be Pep I suppose. I don't think Pep's gone insane though, even if he looks like it sometimes. He never plays a back 3 does he?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He did at Bayern. Played Alonso there sometimes.

In a back three? I know he did that in a back four most of the time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Alonso only played there in a three IIRC.

Alrighty. I believe you.

I know that Cardiff City have made a few changes tonight, but they look very ordinary and are lucky to be level at half time.

Also why do different opponents await the winners?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Seeding. If you seed a draw then you shouldn't make the draw until after the last match really. The winners of the match will decide whether Bristol City are seeded and therefore face Scunthorpe or unseeded and face Chelsea.

 

[Alan]

Is Slade still the manager there?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No, he's at Charlton. Paul Trollope is the manager now.

Thank you Paddy. It seems a bit silly, didn't they make the draws on the Saturday after the games last year?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I honestly can't remember. Simple thing would be to tell the telly companies that they can't move a match which would affect seeding.

To which Sky would reply by asking for their money back.

Would be better just to do a straight forward draw and don't seed teams.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I can understand the seedings, but not having the draw until the round is complete is really a nonsense.

FA Cup draw is done before its completed (with draws, postponements and Monday night games). Just put all the teams in the hat and sod seeding teams to try and force the "bigger" team through.

I agree with you, but the league cup has had teams seeded for years now, and that is why the draw should not be made until a round is complete. There are no replays, so it should not be a problem.

 

[Kenny]

Just not a fan of seeding...and on another note this game is fooking awful. Bollocks to watching extra time. (Cue a classic 30 mins full of goals)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This new Cardiff striker looks rank.
