Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[Stickman]

Shearer is MASSIVE cunt. He calls every decision wrong, the slap headed Geordie twat.

Aguero hits a fan slap head defends Aguero...Firminho gets pushed into the hoardings and after it kicks off rather than keeping quiet as no one knows what's happened sort of hints it could be maybe racist to make Holgate react like that.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Only downside to this, is that the Mancs will end up winning it.

The smart money's on Rochdale.

[Oh Buoy]

I miss having Wigan in the PL. 

 

The dross we have at the moment doesn't provide any late-season entertainment like Wigan, Sunderland etc did. 

[Harry Squatter]

If there was free blow jobs off fit birds and a cash payment on offer at Wigans stadium it would still never be full.

[G Richards]

Never expected that. Well done Wigan. It’s an up and under!

Fantastic. City fans have become almost intolerably arrogant and entitled, so I'm quietly glad their quadruple talk can fuck right off now. Bunch of jackpot winning shitheads.

[dockers_strike]

There is always some dickhead fans who just have to spoil the result. What should be a great night for Wigan is now remembered for all the wrong reasons. And Guardiola is turning into a right whinging twat.

[Skrtel Milk]

De Bruyne is such a lovely player to watch. Every touch just looks effortless.

 

He's the closest thing to Gerrard these days.

Boyhood red as well.

[Hades]

Whisper it quietly, City looked shaky in defence against Basel. I don't think they're as well placed as us to go away to a European giant and get a clean sheet.

[Guest]

Has he bleached his hair ?

He's certainly going to be in the highlights.

The arse dropping out of the Wigan fan fronting Aguero is brilliant. Hiding behind his mate

That lad in his shirt and tie, straight from his job at PC world 

[Em City]

They're definitely from fucking Wigan.

There are very few people more deserving of a good hiding than mouthy gobshites who walk like Liam Gallagher.

Not sure why everyone is loving last night, I think it's no shock that City didn't beat Wigan away in a Monday night cup tie in February.

 

Comes a point where the 'well done Wigan' mantra should be called for what it is, and that's that City just didn't fancy matching Wigan's levels of effort. I think it devalues the cup significantly.

 

Last season we saw Lincoln and Millwall in the quarter finals, the season before one of the semi-finals was Palace v Watford, the season before that Villa and Reading were in the semi's, the season before that we had semi's featuring Wigan, Hull and Sheff United, and the season before that Wigan won the fucking thing.

 

I'm failing to see the bit where the FA Cup is a more prestigious competition to win than the League Cup in recent times.

 

Last 10 wins League Cup

Man United x 3

Man City x 2

Chelsea

Spurs

Liverpool

Swansea

Birmingham

 

 

Last 10 wins FA Cup

Arsenal x 3

Chelsea x 3

Man City

Man United

Wigan

Portsmouth

 

 

This season, Spurs could find themselves in the semi's having only met AFC Wimbledon, Newport, Rochdale, Sheff Wednesday or Swansea. Which is great for those clubs having a glamour tie, but let's not pretend the FA Cup is currently anything other than a frivolity for the (foreign) managers of big clubs.

 

Utter shite. I don't care enough about it, and last night was a case in point, I love football but this weekend I didn't bother with a minute of the FA Cup on telly, but I did make time to watch some of Eibar v Barcelona, and RB Leipzig v Frankfurt.

 

So there.

It's still better than the league cup and every domestic cup competition in other leagues.

[Gym Beglin]

It's still better than the league cup and every domestic cup competition in other leagues.

Because you say it is?

 

Empirical evidence suggests they're all the same and all shit, this is certainly true of the 'big leagues'. I daresay the domestic cup competitions in Croatia, Poland, Turkey etc might come with a bit more importance attached.

 

One would think that the FA Cup would be a welcome focus for our top club sides due to Man City's obvious pedigree this season. However, we managed to lose 2-3 at home to West Brom, Spurs have struggled to overcome Newport and Rochdale, Arsenal went out to Forest, and Chelsea only overcame Norwich at home on pens.

 

Meanwhile, we beat two CL sides 7-0 and recently won 0-5 away to Porto, while Spurs have beaten Dortmund and Madrid to top their CL group, Arsenal topped their Europa League group and have put 10 goals past Everton in two league games this season and beat Chelsea over 2 legs in the league cu semis, and Chelsea eliminated Atletico Madrid from the CL effectively, and are 8 points ahead of Arsenal in the league.
