Swindon Town (A) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Fri 7th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

There’s another very important cup game this week; we need spurs to leave the league cup semi final first leg nicely balanced this week, cos chelsea have the away leg the Wednesday before they play us on the Saturday

 

[SWPISHOME]

Yes 5 allowed

Cheers fella.

Just noticed that the EDS are playing away at Blackburn at 7pm on Friday - this will probably limit the number of youngsters involved with the first team against Swindon.

Yeah that fucking bald fraud, what’s he ever done for us. You should always worry about a post that gets a like from Fordy

I’ve just discovered the classics forum and seen he posted this gem last season:

“Dull as fuck, think Pep has done all he can now and can't get anything else from this set of players. It's the same tactics and style of play every game and the players are looking totally fucked off and bored with it. The two year contract extension is suddenly looking like a disastrous move on the clubs behalf, but Pep will be laughing all the way to the bank if he did get his marching orders or if infact he left off his own accord.
He should be concerned because this is turgid stuff he's churning out week in week out.”

And yet here he is liking posts having a pop at Pep still after being proven so wrong before.

Do people ever learn?

Give Kayky a good half hour please Pep.

I think palmer will start but he’ll be the only non regular to do so Outside of steffen.

We should manage to win this but we need to give many a good rest before the Chelsea game. Just watching Chelsea v Liverpoo and it seems like a game of pinball, Tommy would have been proud.

Exciting end to end, great game etc apparently as per BBC brekki.

A week rest both before and after this tie. Anyone expecting lots of youngsters will probably be disappointed. It will probably be full strength to keep momentum. Hopefully a McAtee and Palmer cameo off the bench

Glad you mentioned rest. Managers are always banging on about too many fixtures affecting players with injuries and mental and physical fatigue, but not one sports writer or media commentator, or Manager commented on the fact that City had been given the worst possible fixtures over the holiday period. Why was the game with Arsenal allowed to be played Saturday lunch time? City had to play Brentford away on the Wednesday night before, allowing 2 1/2 days between games including time to travel back to Manchester before once again heading for London. Every other team playing midweek and then weekend was allowed at least 1 day more.
