How's Pep tonight? Advancing to another cup final by being beaten at home by your 10-man local rivals, whilst the only team better than you in the country just went 19 points ahead in the league. 

 

There's doing things in style, then there's this!

Meanwhile, at the BBC, time for some epic straw clutching....

 


Solskjaer Joins Elite Club

 

Manchester United are the first side to beat Manchester City in domestic cup competition (League Cup and FA Cup) since Wigan did so during the 2017-18 FA Cup, ending City’s 19 game unbeaten run in such fixtures.
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is just the third manager to win two away matches against Pep Guardiola in his managerial career, after José Mourinho and Jürgen Klopp.

That’s not straw clutching, it’s reaffirmation of his unique managerial genius. It would be an unforgivable folly to dispense with his services now.

It was a free bet. 
 

Actually no, it was a ‘refund’ after City let me down last night. 

I watched (on telly, they're from Zaragoza) a game between Ebro (third tier) and Leganés (shit La Liga side) last week.

 

It was at Ebro's ground. They appeared to be playing on a five a side pitch. Absolutely no-one gave a fuck. Players, fans, even the commentators who spent the game chatting about local food. Leganés knocked it about like they were warming up for an actual game. If it wasn't for a hilarious howler from the Ebro keeper it would have finished 0-0.

 

The cup competitions are a complete no go for betting on favourites. Prices are always awful.

I don’t know about that last bit. The team (never heard of the cunts) that are currently smashing Sevilla 3-0 look like they were good value at 8/1. 
 

Edit: 3-1. The comeback is on. Just need three more goals in injury time.
