Yes the two perpetrators that were the cause of us wrongly going out of the FA Cup have now become the perpetrators of their own downfall, as I said KARMA.

I agree with everything said so far but, with my British hat on in a European competition, I think Citeh would prove a far stronger team than Spurs and would have had a better chance of winning it. As it is, I think that Liverpool now have a great chance of winning the CL but it might cost them the Premier League title as Citeh can now concentrate fully on that.
As it happens, I have a great deal of time for all three managers and let's not forget that it wasn't Pep who made those atrocious decisions against us, it was the OFFICIALS. At least Pep did make a gracious apology for benefitting from them.

Spurs were valiant last night. No Kane and yet they came through. Llorente showed how good his arse can be. The trouble with City is that defensively they are not as good as they and most think they are. Ordinarily that is not a factor since they stay on the front foot with their midfield and forwards forcing the other side to drop and defend and hang on for grim death. But, like we showed with Celinas’ goal .... they are vulnerable, very vulnerable, when faceing their own music.
I don't blame Pep for one moment regarding our result, but Stirling who dived at the Liberty had his just rewards. His winning goal ruled offside by the offside scorer of their winning goal at the Liberty. At least they cant complain, it was a genuine result, unlike ours.

Yes,with the refereeing standard as it is the sooner the better. blatant errors which can cost a club £M's in a promotion or even relegation battle,
.
Being reported that OGS 'tore into Manchester United's flops after their Barcelona humiliation - accusing them of not giving 100 per cent'. Well, well, well, we've heard that accusation before haven't we from one Jose Mourinho? Seems he wasn't far wrong with his proclamation but it was certainly a factor in getting him sacked. Better beware, Ole, or it won't be long before you follow Jose out of the door, player power (ugh!!!) being what it is. Seems the little darlings are very happy to bank their obscene wages but take a hissy fit the moment that someone tells them they aren't doing enough to earn them.
Looks like Solskjaer's honeymoon period is over, losing five of their eight last games, as Ivor said he's beginning to echo Mourinho's words that players need to take a reality check, I've watched quite a few of their games since he took over, there were wins yes, but nothing convincing about them, nowhere near the finishing class of their Manchester neighbours.
Brighton get a point at Wolves, puts them 3 points ahead of the scum, may just be enough.
Their superior goal difference is worth another point.

@ivoralljack is right. It's actually four points. A win for Cardiff is not enough to avoid relegation even if Brighton lose all their remaing games by a reasonable margin.
Mind you, CJ, losing 0-5 at home as they did to Bournemouth is not reasonable! We want no more of that thank you.

That won't happen again, and remember today will Cardiff's goal score go from bad to worse.Mind you, CJ, losing 0-5 at home as they did to Bournemouth is not reasonable! We want no more of that thank you.
That SHOULD happen but I've got another sneaking feeling that something of a shock might be in the offing. Can't tell you how much I hope I'm wrong. Unfortunately, my feelings were correct in the Brighton game.
William Hill relegation odds: Cardiff 1-7; Brighton 4-1. Hope they're right!!
They're taking a thrashing at Everton ATM.
