I've got a massive roast chicken just out the oven...... and I've eaten all the crispy skin without letting it cool down a bit..... my fingers are burnt and my missus has got the hump cos she likes greasy chicken skin too. Bollocks to it though !! I've now got a massive bowl of "chickin drippin" ready to set, so in the morning when i read all the papers panning us, at least I'll have drippin on toast with a little sprinkle of salt as a little pick me up.

You must have done because you are very, very wrong.

Vorm made no attempt whatsoever to stop the goal, rose made two mistakes leading up to the goal and put in a generally half-arsed performance and Eriksen did absolutely nothing when he came on.
This is comical it really is.

I'm not even going to justify replying to this bollocks.

He had a good game overall. Bit off the pace but some of his 20/30 yard progressive knocks were great. Masonesque.

When he does that and doesn't try to style it too much he's very effective at setting off attacks from deep. When he goes all hollywood to try and impress the world it goes wrong for him.

It's a key thing he has to learn that will determine how far he goes in the game imo.
disagree with you assessment of his overall performance today but wholeheartedly agree with the other part. He really needs to tone it down and keep it ticking over. Every ball (not literally but it felt like it) he was trying to ping a killer ball. Thought his defensive contribution, or lack thereof, more than negated any contribution going forwards. He is young however and he will learn, if he is willing. And I for one really hope he does because I think he has much to offer, just not in the "star of the show" manner he is attempting now.

only thing I can say is "GUTTED".


All I can say is gutted.

Was there any point in beating Leicester in the 4th round replay ? Not in my opinion.

Would have liked those lost Leicester points at home instead. Bugger it, I am very disappointed.

thats true, but Son was not really useful today as well. Onomah does not convinvce me so far. Shame.
He's not ready for this level yet.. there's real talent there & he needs to show more composure in the box.. a loan next season where he can gain confidence in that area is a must.

Because you have fuck all to say. Go ahead and justify it instead of acting like a pretentious, moronic keyboard warrior, you're going to make yourself look like a bigger idiot than what you already are.

Perhaps this game will make people realise how important Lamela is to our team and the way we play.

Lamela could score a first half hat-trick against Barcelona in our first CL tie and save a penalty before scoring direct from a corner and some people would say he should be dropped for not playing it short to eat down the clock.

He'll always divide opinion even though he has time and time again been the much needed catalyst in so many of our important wins.

On reflection we have a chance every season in the FACup. Could be another 25 years before we are genuinely title challengers with 10-12 games to go.

TBH, it felt like 'one of those games' from early on, certainly from the moment Alli's shot hit both posts without going in.

Maybe, subconsciously, we played with the lower level of commitment and intensity befitting a less important game? Anyone else think this?
