England weren't at the Euros last year so should've said fùck off. Will we start next season late due to this season finishing late and then have 09/10 season finishing very late ahead of our potential WC?

Political correctness gone mad

Have you seen how many games they play in either of the European cups? Theyve got to fit it in somewhere.

Ill give it 5 years before one of these things happens
(a) The Coca Cola Cup is restricted to non-premiership teams only
(b) Talks start to reduce the Premiership to 16 teams.

(a) The Coca Cola Cup is restricted to non-premiership teams only That'd be the FA Trophy I believe
(b) Talks start to reduce the Premiership to 16 teams. That'd be happening this summer

I think the FA want to ship in a referee from Mongolia who's only ever reffed in his domestic league. It'll take time to get him over on the boat.
