As much as I hope it doesn’t happen, Millwall should be fined for playing an under strength side last night.

Losing to Rochdale was probably punishment enough

Especially when a home sell out v spurs was coming. Can't believe we didn't put out a proper team.

You are pretty safe from relegation, not going for promotion, so no real need to rest players.
Could be Ok, Spurs may lose tonight!

Completely agree, a lot of Millwall fans are not happy about. We were looking forward to Spurs at home.

2 aussies scored for the Under 23's on Monday

How can that be the case when 2 different nationalities provided the goal scorers?

Spurs' generosity continues, firstly Newport and now Rochdale, inviting the smaller teams to visit Wembley and make some money :wink:

Wigan 1, ManCity 0!

So, no clean sweep then of the EPL, Champions League, F.A. Cup and League Cup.

Hopefully they’ll carry their ordinary form against Wigan into this weekend’s League Cup Final.

Very different to Cantona, Aguero was simply defending himself against some scummy Lancastrian who deserved a slap.

The Wigan manager tongue in cheek asked prior to the game if he could play with 14 men on the park - he sort of got his wish with City going down to -1 player during the game. :)

Would it make any difference that it was a while after the final whistle?

Allegedly the bloke spat at him as well. I think he'll get off lightly if that's the case.

He punched someone, that's a red card offence. It was on the pitch so definitey still under the ref's jurisdiction.

Violent conduct - 3 games.
