Score Prediction League Winner 2023/24
10 goals from 10 shots on target is decent going by Soulless City
Didn't they beat Salford at home last season by a very big score?
Yes Exeter were appealing as they are in plenty of financial trouble currently. It would be good PR for Man. City in these times if they actually realise it.
Also should be an option imo given we know there are no replays anymore. Exeter 20 years back got that famous 0-0 at Old Trafford to get a replay back in Devon and that practically saved the club and allowed them to have a really good run in the league since.

Is it true that Exeter asked City for a bigger cut of the gate money and they said no?
They do, but they also got rid of replays which in a club like Exeter's case is a lifeline.Has that ever been done? I thought the FA had pretty definitive ratios.
Not sure the magic of the cup has been said enough times today
Team stays professional "What are they bullying them for?", team gets complacenet "They aren't respecting them", team gets cocky because game is over "Buncha show boats". Complete nonsense City did the right thing by staying professional and maintaining standards.
Lots of the players who kept the momentum till the last minutes today were playing for places and in some cases their future at the club. With all the negative talk around them like Rico Lewis, Khusanov and younger players like McAidoo, Alleyne, etc... they needed to show how good they are.
Also Exeters goalkeeper is tiny so shot or target pretty much equals goal. His bio says 5.11 on wikipedia but he looks smaller than that to me.
That’s a good point. I remember someone (probably an owner not a manager) saying he’d have preferred to draw at home to a Prem club than take the win they earned,They do, but they also got rid of replays which in a club like Exeter's case is a lifeline.
Can’t blame City… they’ve got to have SOME real income for the accountsIs it true that Exeter asked City for a bigger cut of the gate money and they said no?
I’m not saying it was/wasn’t but I hate refs who have a mindset of “I can’t do that so early”. I’d say that’s the BEST time to book a player (if a cardable offence), shows them all what’s coming.Looks like the Spurs tactics to kick us off the pitch. Hopefully the ref wakes up as that was a blatant yellow for Palhinha.
They do it to Chelsea, but when they do they usually loose, i imagine the manager has told them to do that?Spurs nobbling the opposition early
Lad ..Great goal, very direct and quick play. Felt too easy though.
Yeah, what could possibly be the reason. Maybe we could find a clue in the words of the question?Why the feck are Villa wearing their away kit?
There’s not a clash though.Yeah, what could possibly be the reason. Maybe we could find a clue in the words of the question?
Already a disaster for Frank.Richarlison collapses, looks like hammy.
He must think he is cursed.Already a disaster for Frank.
