Prestons you may be right i have literally no idea what happens in the prem aside from who wins it, really

Hash- thought Palace were in Europe this year, having won something last season!

Was just thinking about Workington earlier on when reading SW19 and the section about how we always seem to struggle against lower-division oppo in cup games.

Brennan Dickenson(remember him?)has joined Workington(remember them?)

Clapdonn - Ha not intentionally but it works! The truth is that sketch is nearly 20 years old. It was on the money then, and yet look how worse things have got since. The concept of a big game has gone, because every game is treated like the most important thing to ever happen. Even Sky in its early days didn't pretend that Southampton vs Coventry was anything other than just another humdrum league game, but it served a purpose in giving exposure to every club (and without erasing Saturday 3pm for the 'bigger' ones). Now it's all just absurd levels of hype.

DO-the Middlesbrough goalscorer was subbed, took too long to go off so they had to play with 10 men for a few minutes

Nick D, is that a reference to the Mitchell and Webb football skit? If so, love the reference - a classic!

Cw - who fell foul of 10 sec rule?

Endless kits, each one more forgettable than the last.

That Sunderland away kit 🤢 🤢

Led, don't understand why Arsenal's home kit is in there. It's literally just a standard Arsenal home kit?

Red kite, Fulham or Palace away would be nice. Palace away for selhurst memories would be great and we would also take an absolutely massive number, i reckon. We would take a massive number to fulham too to be fair.

Morning all. Proper SW19 report on Newport now up - [Link]

Someone like Fulham or Brighton, home or away, Hash ...

More importantly, have they changed their manager???

so who do we want in the 2nd round? I say lets get a winnable tie and win it so we can get to the third round and then hopefully draw man city or man united

CW, Salford have changed their badge too. [Link]

Things we learned from the league cup highlights….Pressley for Walsall and Davison for Shrewsbury scored rare goals, Alfie May has joined Doncaster, you only have 10 seconds to leave the pitch, Salford have gone back to their original strip of all orange

These highlights programmes are a hard sell with so much live football

And “I agree with Nick” sat down all excited to watch all 33 match highlights but had to give up. Not because of the commentary but there was just, dare I say it, too much football.

If you only watch one bit of highlights today I suggest it’s the 90+9 only-goal-of-the-game winner for Watford against Crawley it’s a worldy kind of a lazy looking strike that accelerates but doesn’t deviate and ends up absolute scudding into the net ooh ya bastard [Link]

I rarely watch football with the commentary on these days. I'll switch it on if there is an incident I don't understand and then switch off again once it has been explained, or frequently failed to have been explained.

Sadly Laurence I can't get through those highlights. Every game has unnecessary commentary from people who aren't actually at the stadiums. It's beyond grating and actually an exhausting watch. It's just lazy all round.

And that’s tomorrow night.
