In anticipation of going down to the Championship...

Even at the 2nd tier 18 quid a game is not bad
ANTI World Tour schedule update.

Due to logistical reasons beyond the tours control a number of shows on Rihanna’s forthcoming Anti World Tour have been cancelled. The concert scheduled for Sunderland’s Stadium of Light is one of those affected and the show will no longer go ahead.

FA quarter-final draw:

Everton v Chelsea

Reading v Crystal Palace

Arsenal or Hull City v Watford

Shrewsbury or Manchester United v West Ham

Quarter-final ties to be played over March 11-14
Bit of a boring draw if I'm honest. I think the West Ham tie will be the one, no matter who wins on Monday.

Hull to beat Arsenal only drew cause of the heroics of Eldin Jakupovic think Steve Bruce will have a goalkeeper selection headache now Allan McGreggor and Dusan Kuciak in there next league game which is Tuesday night against Ipswich Town
Hull boss Steve Bruce calls for FA Cup replays to be scrapped after Arsenal stalemate

No they should not...

I say keep replays, those replays can be a matter of life and death for smaller teams...

Something that should be considered is a thing like in the FA Trophy, teams can decide between themselves whether they finish on the day or choose the choice of a replay...

What do our other footy fans think???

They should never get rid of replays.

I like the way it is done in the FA Trophy. Gateshead play FC Halifax Town away in the Quarter Finals of the competition on Saturday, and up until the Semi Final, teams can decide whether to go to Extra Time or a Replay.

Saturday's game will go to a replay if it is a draw.

I'm guessing he realised that people can find out the scores by themselves...

I'm pleased it stopped, I'm not interested in football (don't judge me!) so it used to annoy the hell out of me trying to read this forum on a Saturday afternoon with posts being made every few minutes meaning I to keep going on the thread or marking all forums read.

Its the same for everyone though, everyone has threads where they have no interest at all, one example for me is the Wrestling thread.

I also have no interest in the Wrestling thread or the Politics one.

I know, some will only be intrested in certain threads on the forum but other than the football and wrestling threads I read pretty much every thread on the forum, don't get me wrong they should have a place on the forum for people who are interested to chat to each other about it, for me it was just the frequent score updates that irritated me on a Saturday afternoon, I'd imagine most who would be really interested in seeing score updates would be checking them on an app/site on their phone/computer or watch Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports News HQ rather than sitting on the football thread constantly pressing refresh.

That's why i don't have notifications on, it can get really annoying, especially when a massive discussion is happening.


Think it was last week, i didn't check the forum for 6 hours and had 83 unread posts haha.
