Wasn’t he could have done about it tbf, but the fact they sacked Donnarumma off and are now playing him, is ridiculous.

How is that clown that played against us still in goal for PSG?

These are potential QF opponents for us.

Aye, one of them where you’re shouting ‘man on’ as you pass it 🤣

That’s not where we’re playing tomorrow, they have to play CL games at the national stadium:

Aye, they’ve done well in the circumstances, but like you say it’s weakened them, and that’s from a position of 9th or whatever, so a slightly lower level.

Aye, tbf, Brentford is a decent shout losing keeper, captain, top scorer and best player, as well as the manager. I can see no more than one of the players you mention leaving in the summer though. Unless of course any of them decide to go down the massive dickhead route…

In the CL squad in place of Kraft.

Can’t think of any team that’s sold that many core players and the same time and come out of it in a better state.

Would expect Joe, Miley and possibly Tino.

Schedule should dictate it’s definitely the Saturday. God knows what time like.

Poland?

Tbf it is a shite draw for them as well like. Just not quite as shite as for us.

If you’re looking for some crumbs of comfort, they’ll either (likely) have Madrid or Inter away the midweek after. We’ll probably have Barcelona like, but I’m trying here.

Go on, have a go. Feel the rush…

The Port Vale v Bristol City game that was called off is rearranged for Tuesday 3rd, four days before the R5 games. So that’ll be a nightmare if we get drawn away to either. And I really don’t know how they go about ticketing?

Well we’ve beat Man City this season if you more relevance.

Looks like Livingstone’s reign came to an end in Jan 56, so presumably there was a R4 game between then and the R5 game in March.

I think he is our first manager to make R5 of the FA Cup in three consecutive seasons since Frank Watt (1908/09, 1909/10, 1910/11). Anybody see anyone I’ve missed?

Valid point. All of Eddie’s cup slayings merge into one.

He’s been properly shafted by Donnarumma signing, but whatever Man City’s plans were all along, they would have been foolish not to sign Donnarumma if they had a chance to.

Did he ever actually have the option of choosing us? If we never reached the point of agreeing a fee with Burnley, then presumably not?

Conceded 21 in the league phase (only Kairat Almaty conceded more). So we’re definitely capable of getting at least a couple out there.

Knocked all three of them out of the cup last season…

It’d just be a nightmare on so many different levels.
