Must be bloody awful watching your team never finish lower than 7th in a country with thousands of football clubs, while spending close to a billion quid on world class players, winning 5 trophies and playing in a 75,000 seater stadium.

Black lives matter. And yes, white lives matter and all lives matter. No-one disagrees
But black people face institutional systematic racism every day. White people don't. Trying to elevate your non-existant struggle to that same level is downright offensive and, yes, racist.

Of the 200 Premier League FA Cup entries in ten years, today's FA Cup changes saved 2 replays for 6 of those entries.
FA say changes led by the European calendar. One of those 200 entries was playing in Europe.
FA's justification for these changes is utter nonsense.

23/24: Forest; (21/22, 20/21 no replays due to Covid) 19/20: Spurs, Newcastle; 17/18: Swansea; 15/16: West Brom; 13/14: Fulham. So in 10 eligible seasons (counted back to 12/13), there have been 6 teams who had replays in 3rd and 4th rounds.

The only people demanding replays are scrapped are either PL fans, PL staff or PL journalists.

✅ The Premier League winter break is a Premier League winter break
