Re: FA Cup Replays
I think it's about time the cups had restructures. Especially off the back of this. For me- Fa cup- no joining at round 3. Everyone in at round 1. At least some of the big boys might draw each other and go out and some of the smaller clubs might get easier routes to the final. League cup- no one in ...

Re: I’m so sick of Kompany
I've got to be honest I think he needs to go. The team selections alone this year have been a joke. Suddenly playing Muric and Cullen isn't going to save him, we've looked better for it so his decision to not play them has been baffling.

Disappointed with the line up.
Foster is a not a right winger and Odebert is not an AMC. I also think Vitinho has been one of the stand out performers in recent weeks and is unlucky to drop out.

A lot has been made of the return of Muric but Cullen has been influential to our play since returning.
Why it took so long to play them both is baffling. Murics ability to play out brings the best out in Cullen's game.
