Quote from: Captain Obvious on May 17, 2025, 01:23:09 PMWouldn't even know the FA Cup final is on today. Long gone are the days that BBC use to have 4 or 5 hours of pre-match coverage. If FA Cup winner got a Champion league place than the side finishing 5th in the Premier League it might spice up the competition again.

Or have 1 Cup competition instead of 2. The league cup final gets more of a build up . The FA Cup starts when league cup is still on and somd teams focus more on the league cup as it at later stages..

Italy, Spain Germany has just 1 cup comp. The League Cup should be put aside.

Yeah would probably help along with giving the winner champions league.

Quote from: Mourne Red on May 17, 2025, 01:18:49 PMDisagree with red hand, goals today are either scored from inside the box or set pieces. How many iconic goals could you name past 5 years?

90s/00s - Henry vs United, Shearer hitting a screamer every other weekend, Becks halfway goal, Ben Arfas dribble, Bergkamp vs Newcastle, Tony Yeboah, then Gerard had a few goals (West Ham, Olympiakos) Van Persie vs Charlton etc

I don't know what it is but football is a hard watch these days. Don't know if it's because over analysis has taken away from the passion from the game but it's not alwhat is used to be.

Teams are coached to death

For all of city's success under Pep , I honestly couldn't look at them. Mahrez was brilliant for Leicester, at City, meh. Grealish good to watch at Villa. At City, a robot.

The lack of wingers is another factor. The likes of Kanchelskis, Ginola, mcmanaman etc all good to watch. There's no room for cantona-type flicks either. The game has become sanitised

Right on half time It happened I see. Why are Villa so bad today when fighting for a Champions league spot and against United with nothing to play for?

If noones seen it yet, that Martinez red card was the most blatant and stupid thing I've ever seen. My first thought was match fixing

Red correct call. Debatable call to disallow the Villa goal and then went on to concede two goals after it, the 2-0 win didn't flatter United. To quote lurganblue Villa was "pure muck" and got what they deserved for that performance today.
