If anyone wants to read more on the Cheltenham epic encounter: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/9206838.stm

For an FA Cup tie, I'll just throw this into the mix. This was second round. Cheltenham were in L2. Only 50% possession. Surprising Adkins saw the season out.

Yes of course. The medics who gave Steward a clean bill of health would never pick that up in a medical.

Where have I heard this before ?

She should have ended the interview with “thanks, and well done Tyler… the next time you’re in the Swansea area will you collect your blow job from Myfanwy …? “

Pointless interview, asking such banal questions. Especially as it was broadcast by BBC Wales. Can’t imagine many people in Wales giving a shit whether Tyler thought it was his best game, or if it might kick start our season (yes, of course it will, the fight back starts today, you stupid cow ). Perhaps she should have asked him what he thought of the Ospreys result in Europe, and does he think the WRU were right to keep faith in Gatland.

In the good old days of the Third round being played on ‘3rd Round Saturday’ in early January the pitches would be churned up, possibly a mud bath*. The games gone soft. *(Or even an ice rink - Elm Park c1996)

Or five year contract extension and double wages.

That was Lighthouse you were quoting , just in case anyone thinks I’m offering a defence of Bazunu.

Don’t we want a GK to be competing with the top three or four ?

I was expecting £10-15 which I think is consistent with early rounds of League Cup (as I still call it). As you say may be Swansea not accepting a reduction, although seems self defeating if true, and hits their supporters as well as ours.

Agree. But would also like to think if he helps Sunderland, Sheff Utd or whoever to promotion then he’s worth a few million to them.

I was considering travelling down for the game today having missed the Brentford game due to weather threat and a two hour drive each way. The deciding factor was the ticket price, £22.50 which is taking the piss given the time of match, and most of all how we’ve been playing. Bollocks to that. I’ve wasted enough on a ST.

Hope Lucy Pinder had Lego checked for STDs after his time in Swansea if Myfanwy and her ‘offer’ of an incentive scheme is anything to go by.

We don’t know how the deal is structured and whether it only reaches that amount on progressing through the ranks. Have to wonder how much of the 5m actually changes hands or to what degree, if any, it’s a ‘paper exercise’ within the group.

Hopefully the club management will also see it that way now Willcox and Lego have pissed off

Isn’t there an obligation to buy if they’re promoted?

Couldn’t make it up really, could you ?

We’ll have to agree to disagree over Bazunu then. He cost us several points last season but no point dragging this debate out (again). As for CB, there is possibly also a question over Bednarek staying.

GK, assuming Ramsdale leaves. We obviously don’t know who will remain, Harwood-Bellis leaving for example, might also leave us low on quality at CB. Even in the Championship.

Especially as he pegged it nine years ago.

If they get promoted perhaps Sheff Utd will use him as a makeweight if they come in for Ramsdale. Would like to keep Ramsdale next season but unlikely, so the next best thing has to be someone more credible than Bazunu.

Preferably on loan somewhere.

This is where Sports Republic excel.

Then people wonder why the FA Cup has lost some of its ‘magic’. This is another reason. Last season at Watford the draw was known shortly after HT. Spoilt the game for me, what was the point of getting a midweek tie away at Liverpool?
