Oxford through to play Bolton in the final! Peterborough came very close towards the end.

Not reviewed because ref had already blown. However, it's so close the linesman had to be playing on.

Lino has fucked up there.

Thanks for proving me right...

That's weird the link takes me to a matchday thread from Feb 2023 As for the claims, you miss out a lot of context for the Sancho/Man Utd thing. What have I claimed that isn't false? We just have a difference of opinion on some things. And you're attributing things to me that I didn't say...

What is Burrows doing? Blatant handball from a free kick, gifting Oxford a penalty.

Peterborough level on aggregate. Knight scoring to make it 1-0.

How's the defence of it going? Will you be retaining that title?

You're the one pretty much saying they've made no impact, right? No one is saying it has to be one or the other? All I see you doing is downplaying any of their contribution just because they played in the PL? First thing you mentioned about Sancho was that he warmed the bench at Man Utd, as if that has any bearing on how he performs at Dortmund. He was clearly unhappy at Man Utd and I very much doubt it was due to lack of talent that he didn't play. As for the link to that thread, what am I supposed to be seeing? I don't see anything about 'farmers league' so I'm not sure what the relevance of linking to that thread is?

You're very degrading of it. There's reasons for Sancho not succeeding at Man Utd - he 'warmed the bench' because he fell out with the manager. You then imply that Dortmund aren't better off purely because they finished 5th this season compared to last, and put that at Sancho's door? You also seem to imply that it's Kane's fault that Bayern didn't win the league? It really isn't unreasonable to suggest Kane and Bayern would win the league and I know you know there are other factors why Bayern didn't win. Not sure where I've said Bundesliga is a farmers league? I'd like to think in quite respectful of Bundesliga and definitely rate it nowhere near a farmers league? Is this even a common concept, or you just jumping on what one person says and thinking that's what all English fans think?

We get it, you hate English football

How's it going this year?

Thanks. @CaaC (John) @Rucksackfranzose please amend your predictions if you want to for the Man Utd/Newcastle fixture correction.

At what point do Everton just scrap 777 Partners as a potential owner and look to other buyers? I know they've got loans repayable back to them but on the face of it they'll seem more of a hindrance to the club than a benefit?

I do wish people (in general) would stop using 'charisma' as a marker of a good PM or not. Boris Johnson had lots of it and was a terrible PM. Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have very little to none and also made terrible PMs. It's policies and clean personalities which make good leaders. Not least at such a treacherous time for politics these days. I'd rather Starmer be boring but get UK back on track with decisive policies and bringing people together* as opposed to having charisma and not actually getting anything done. *contentious point given that I think society is has gone past the point of no return with how divisive it is. And that I put firmly at the door of the Tories thanks to their rhetoric since they came into power and 2016 Brexit was a big catalyst for it.
