Kodjias Wrist Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Ah Greg Dykes baby, what a total **** he is I am surprised its still going on but don't know the ins and outs. For what its worth i think the old set up was fine but would be more interesting if it included the national league teams too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont shit on your own door step??? But that was when it was a proper, lower division cup. Now its just a meaningless way of getting a runout for the Prem u21s against first team footballers. No more meaningful than preseason friendlies now. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Still annoyed they allowed youth teams into the tournament. Completely discredits the tournament and disrespects the actual teams in it. If you want ‘mens’ football for your youth, loan them out or play them your damn self. Don’t dump them into ‘lesser’ cup competitions that don’t have your precious big 6. I’m actually in a really good mood but needed to get that out. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont shit on your own door step??? The fact I have such fond memories of the competition is exactly why I hate the “condescending to the lower leagues”/“bootlicking to the Premier League” mess it has become. The fans of clubs in League One and Two deserve so much better than being dragged into a training exercise for Premier League youth teams. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
