Doesn't the league cup winner go into the new knockoff Europa League? I could well be wrong, haven't got a clue what's happening with it anymore. Can't remember what it is, but it's the 3rd tier comp with twice as many games in.

is that to keep up and coming teams in their place by wearing them out for the following season?

So cup winners get Europa, and 5th (7th if top 4 win the cups) gets the new comp?

Basically the same as before but carabao cup gets Europa conference or if the side that wins it finishes in the top 6 already then 7th gets Europa conference.

FA Cup gets Europa League but if already qualified for europe 6th spot gets Europa.

Be peak Everton if we had a solid season finishing 6th/7th and someone else takes the european spots!

Masterclass from Mourinho to hold onto the point there...

'Title challengers', the lilywhites must be delighted...

Disgusted with those tactics and like I said before K.O. in the match day thread when I saw the team, "it made me wanna puke" cos I knew what dross was coming,
The only saving grace, my season ticket money isn't being paid.

Good luck tonight Blues, hope you win against Man City.
It would be a great win and will continue to keep this mad season very competitive.

Must admit I dont mind Spurs but would leave a sour taste if they win the League Cup when you consider how easy they have had it - got past Leyton Orient on a free pass then beat Stoke in the quarters, Brentford at home in the Semi's you couldn't ask for an easier run in.

But you still have to win those games.
You beat Salford City and I think Fleetwood Town, along the way we also beat Chelsea (when they were doing well) and that's comparable to you playing Man Utd which you lost.

Safe to say at this point that the Bale signing is not going to plan.

Why what happened/ is (not) happening?

He's not playing much and he's not got a calf strain that will keep him out a few weeks (or if it is our fans he's negotiated a winter break in his contract like James).
