I disagree with weakened team rulings in either league or cup. As a manager, you have to select a 25 man squad for the league. That 25 man squad would normally represent the 'first team'. So as long as any game played is from that pool of players, it's just a manager using the resources available.

It's a strange one, because at junior level, the rules are adopted to ensure you rotate your squads. Including the use of rolling subs.
I need to have a look at the Premier League Rulebook, not read it for a while

(04 Jan 2015, 11:49 am)Michael Quite gutted 3 NE teams went out yesterday, prob's be 4 today with Sunderland going out!Agreed, I really thought Gateshead and Blyth could have created a shock yesterday, Blyth blew a 2 goal lead and by all accounts despite a 7-0 thrashing, Gateshead played there hearts out, I heard a pundit say 'For the first 40 minutes Gateshead looked like the Premiership Side'...

I see Carver has thrown his hat into the ring for the Newcastle job

After his recent history with Newcastle fans and yesterday's performance I would imagine he would not be the Number 1. choice for the job

Although Sunderland won, if I was Gus Poyet or a Sunderland fan, I would be far from happy with todays result, and although I hate Leeds, it sounded like hard lines for them, they could have easily been 3-1 up early in the Second Half, and were probably hard done by not to get a replay...
On that performance, I dont hold much hope for them having a good FA Cup run

(04 Jan 2015, 3:22 pm)Michael I think it will be some one from Europe... like Spanish, French etc
(04 Jan 2015, 3:28 pm)Michael Defo, wasting chances like normal, we need a goalscorer asap.They lack creativity going forward and support from midfield, AdammJohnson, while being a decent player, is too inconsistent, as for the strikers, Fletcher is injury prone, Whickham is not much better and Altidore is that bad, if he fell into a barrel of tits, he would come out sucking his thumb...

Sunderland have not had a good attack since Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips and a solution pretty bad
