PL B Teams in the JPT

[The Beautiful Game]

Or if Pompey A played Man U / Arsenal / Chelsea B. In the final at Wembley. Would we all turn up ? Probably.

At the glimpse of silverware. Would we be really playing their B team. Probably not.

Yes we would - team selection would be part of the rules of the competition.

Hope so, but will reserve judgement until if or when it happens.PL teams seem to have the way ( power ) to get round things.

Of course they have. Premier clubs are the establishment figures of the football world.

Anyhoo......back on topic.
Isn't it funny that when you introduce the idea of Prem B teams playing in a tourney nobody cares about.....suddenly everybody cares.

I've never been fussed about the league cup but I wouldn't want B-teams stinking that competition out either. Sure, in the early rounds there might be a lack of interest but if a club progresses far enough to get a sniff of Wembley then fans definitely start to care.

The league and cup competitions in England should be for 1st teams only and not open to bl**dy reserve sides. Let them have their own tournament. It's also reducing the chances of the smaller sides getting a bit of cup glory and money. Don't Chelsea, City et al already have enough?
