EPL Runt sticking to the script

Hull played Man City and only got 30% of their EPL average attendance. Similar story repeated around the grounds. Itās over.
When?
Huh?
Iāve no idea what Iām saying

Iām also withdrawing my support for the Football Association Cup for at least the next month and believe the competition should now be downgraded to obscure midweek slots, at least until such time as penalty shoot-outs are eliminated, the draw returns to a traditional format with balls pulled from a velvet bag, the semi-finals return to being played at Villa Park/Maine Road/Elland Road/Highbury/White Hart Lane/Highfield Road, and the final is played at the old Wembley Stadium (the one with a dog track) with a 3pm kick-off.
Evertonās elimination yesterday, thereby preventing a Liverpool-Everton final for the 28th season in a row, reinforces my view.
The annual shtick of āthe magic of the Cupā, āitās the competition that everybody talks aboutā, āthe greatest Cup competition in the worldā is wearing very thin - none of this is true.
The competition is now a nuisance.
When a competition has to rely on such saccharine marketing shtick to drum up interest, itās proof of the competitionās irrelevance.
Compare that to how the BDO World Championship at Lakeside has held onto its cherished traditions and thus remains the sportās showpiece event that it always has beenā¦

Fairly uninspiring fourth round draw there.
Adventure is out there
Nice scrappy old school cup tie here in Cambridge.
Atmospheric. Nice to see a pitch cutting up a bit for a change.

1 up Lucas
Those young lads donāt look up to much. Woodburn has been poor. Sturrridge gash again. Heās given up.
Origi misses penalty
Long scores
Theyāre only young lads, relax.
I was impressed with Woodburn in the 2nd half to be honest, especially his touch and vision
