A rare, interesting article that. Good insight.

We'll have to be 19s in the crowd as it seems like it's going to be more likely that the 18th man will be on the pitch in any given game. Overall I think most of this is sensible and a good reaction to the ways the players were trying to exploit the rules last season. The 18th man stuff seems a reas...

The heal thing might give a load of offside penalties for the first few weeks. The defence is well used to moving up the moment the tackled player looks like their starting to play the ball. I thought it was always once they'd touched it with there foot TBH.

I'm just not sure why people are so angry about the fixture list. We play the same number of home and away games as everyone else and we have a great home run-in to gain momentum for the playoffs - which we know is the the most important time of the year. We have a nice intense start to the year and...

This article is completely flawed. It was never stated that every game would broadcast on sky sports channels. Lots of people just made the incorrect assumption which leads to articles like.

It dilutes the games two show piece finals.

Return to the Etihad would have been better. Same football issues. No premeir league team is going to let you play on their pitch within a week of them playing. I would imagine that Old Trafford may not be available for the GF once our contract expires and their ownership changes (no idea what the ...

Bit out in the middle of nowhere isn't it Elland Road? And its not really exposing the game to new markets is it?

Plus, don't forget this year we start with the Man of Steel winning best stand-off in the competition. Last year we had no-one. Don't underestimate the influence of a settled half-back pairing and basically a returning back line (minus one player). The pack has more strength in depth than last year....
