Hopefully they bring Grealish on . That’s the only reason I’ve got game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 At the end of the season the club had that auction for acorns, selling a couple of signed shirts for each player. I got up to about £1k for Grealish's shirt. I think the final price was just north of £2k. Imagine paying 2k, plus a bit more to have it framed, hanging it up on your wall, then he **** off before playing another game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams with loads of internationals tend to rotate heavily anyway so it's not like they'd be adversely affected and teams outside the Premier League tend to not have International players, so I feel it would give a decently level playing field. Keep the final and 1st Round where they are, but then have the 2nd/3rd Rnds in the September Internationals, 4th Rnd and Quarters in October and the Semis in November, all games played the Thursday and Tuesday around those windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with banning teams in Europe from it, but why not have it at the end of the season? One week after the FA Cup? If the European teams aren't involved it won't effect CL final, and it will help with fixture congestion during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
