Has there been a bigger FA cup shock?  Good on Phil Parkinson if he knocked Mourinho like that. The arrogance of that man is quite unpalatable. 

[Frankenhooker]

Bradfrord were amazing today. That last goal was magnificent.

They did what a lot of teams should, just go at the pricks. Fair fucks to them.

[littletedwest]

fucking hell we've been bad but for the money city spent to play like that.

awful. lucky not lose by 5

[an tha]

Spot on, an tha. Neither of those results today were flukes.

 

It's always done my head in when you've seen PL managers make shithouse subs when their team is leading or drawing at a big team. Why would you bring a defender on for a striker, for instance? All you're going to do is drop a few yards deeper and encourage them into you.

 

Read today that Phil Parkinson jibbed Mourinho's premature handshake. Good on him there. As you said, mate, him and Karanka have put a lot of managers to shame today.

It's been happening for years, half the PL used to go to the Mancs and show either total fear or zero ambition and same applies to teams going to chelsea and city now.

 

It does my head in, even when they have taken leads you see them shit themselves dropping deeper and deeper and inviting them on before the 'inevitable' conceeding...or just capitulation as soon as the first goal goes in,then it's all justified by the pundits and media and even worse the fucking managers making out they wouldnt expect anything and it isn't those games that matter...basically defeatist bollocks

[Jairzinho]

Their centre backs have all the pace and technical ability of a smackhead trying to play the French horn, how has that escaped the vast majority of Premier League managers?

[s(k)aturation]

Just watched the Chelsea highlights.

Fuck me, Stead put in a blinder for Bradford.

[matt1983]

Citeh must have known the gods were against them that massively deflected Lampard shot didn't go in. That,or he's losing his touch.

[Razoray]

son in law had a mate with ten quid on Bradford, Middlesbrough,Leicester and Bolton win.

 

would have won about 70 grand had we lost

I think someone had something similar with Ladbrokes online. A €5 stake for 17k and cashed out for 25k before our game.

[Duff Man]

Messi scored his 77th double in La Liga last night.

 

He's a machine.

[Jairzinho]

Did we have anyone in our side against Bolton that has scored three?

[Grinch]

Didn't cash out with Ladbrokes anyway.  They don't do that feature.

[PestiRed]

I see Matt Smith is still an utter yard dog

[liverpoolsno9]

if a bet is worth 17K, there's absolutely no way you'd be able to cash out for 25k.

[Jairzinho]

Yes, I think it may have been a typo. 

 

If not, could you please let us know which bookies this is.

[magicrat]

Brighton have just pulled one back against Arse . Could get back on terms with a bit of luck

[bossy]

I was just saying Brighton are shit and the arse will score at least 2 more and Rosisky (?) scored. I'm right Brighton are a terrible team.

[bossy]

2-3.

[PestiRed]

Should have been a penalty for handball against Arsenal

[Gym Beglin]

That goal from Gil was sexy.

[Razoray]

Sorry 117. saw it on twitter. they posted a pic but obviously could have been bullshit.

[skend04]

Just read that Bournemouth made 8 changes to their team. It really says a lot when a Championship team starts chucking the world's premier knock out cup competition.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

The AFCON is a grim watch. It's like a steroidal pub league.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I see Defour was sent off in Belgium for two offences of kicking the ball into the crowd.

 

He was returning to his old club, Standard, with Anderlecht, and the Standard fans decided to have a banner to mark his decision to play for their rivals, which was emblazoned with the words "red or dead" and a picture of a machete wielding masked man holding Defour's decapitated head.

 

Think the hatred and occasion got to Defour (and he literally lost his head).

 

Bit full on from the Standard fans though.

Bojans out for the rest of the season, done his cruciate ligament.
