To be fair I've seen weaker teams in the cup. Sam Allardyce has been known to play 11 players with 2 first team appearances between them.The media are going full out to prove that Klopp is not disrespecting the FA Cup, saying that he's been forced to do what he's done etc etc etc........at least it means that they can never again accuse any club of doing the same........
I love it! Even better than klippety klopp lollollolI'm not defending the insane goofy galoot for one second, but it gets well and truly on my man-boobs how there is a full programme of Prem games within a few days of the 4th round. It all adds to the devaluing of the FA Cup. Stoke put out a weakened team today and let's face it, what have they got to play for in the Prem?
"he's crap him though lar, never werld class him lar... "See certain people are saying Flopp has hung Sturridge out to dry,apparently he has told glass legs he has to do ten days of of training , before he will be considered for selection,can't see there being much of a future for Glass Legs at the pit,can see them losing another bundle when they come to move him on.
The pact they had with the devil has now gone full circle. They get close to something big, get carried away with the emotion of it all only to be smashed to bits at the final hurdle.
City will beat them with a late goal in the final in February, they will cry, the rest of the footballing world will rejoice I promise.
It has been happening for about 5 years now.
