Joe Cole looks like he's been on a ketamine bender for the past three days.
This guy who scored is even redder than De Bruyne.
May as well have had a full schedule of Premier League fixtures this weekend.
They've really fucked the cup with these kick-off times. You shouldn't be fannying about with Friday and Monday games once it gets down to the last 16, you need at least 4 kicking off at 3pm on Saturday to make it seem more relevant than your local non-league team.
I was going to say earlier that all the ties this round are pretty shit/boring.
It seems that everyone felt the same as it's been dead in here.
Didn't see the Newport goal clearly enough to know if it was chip or a lob but I'll chuck it a
I think he was just trying to get to the ball ahead of Otamendi and accidentally toe-poked a sublime chip. Or lob. What's the difference? Is one a volleyed form of the other?

A chip is when you cut under the ball with your foot. A lob is when the ball goes over the keeper. That's how I've always thought of it. I get slightly annoyed when people refer to any old lob as a 'chip'.
Nani.
I've been sitting here trying to work out whether United being owned by the Saudi Arabians would be acceptable if they sold Romelu Lukaku. I think yes.
From a purely footballing perspective I'm sure it'd be amazing, but being owned by a mob even worse than Man City or PSG would be pretty rank.

Yea but maybe the journos would stop making up so many ridiculous transfer stories.
Ya know, for fear of their lives and such.
Killing people involved in your positive PR exercise would rather defeat the object.
The headlines for when he sacks a manager write themselves though.
"Solskjaer IN PIECES"
Tottenham are exellent.
John Obi Mikel is 31 years old despite having been playing for what feels like the last thousand years.
No one would give a flying fuck, realistically.
Not that chucking an unlimited amount of money at it is necessarily going to solve anything.
I'd care which is enough for me.
Loss of enthusiasm, ahem, is just something that comes with getting older.
They'd all just pretend to care about FC United for another 6 months.
Who would? I'm interested in understanding more about United's fan base.
The same lot that did last time. Mostly Manc Sean and his Ostrich nutting mates.
It's all pretty rancid. Fuck them. I've been going Solihull (Sowleehull) Moors recently and it's a million times better. Plus they actually win occasionally and are top of the Conference. Proper glory hunter.
It's amazing that so many people think that Abramovich still gives a shit. I think it was on the Ramble where they suggested he'd fallen in love with the Napoli side hence hiring Sarri, I doubt he'd even fucking seen a minute of them.
I don’t get why Romero is starting. This is the only trophy United could bring home this season.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Sarri on the ropes?
I’ve noticed. I think most teams switch back to their ‘league’ keeper (urgh) if they get to the final. Just feels idiotic as there’s a bit of a difference between first and second choice keeper at United. It’s not like you wheeled out Hilario for this.
What is Romero even doing at United (as number 2)? Always looked a very good keeper. Not exactly Raimond van der Gouw.
Keeping Lee Grant out of the team. I guess it’s that and making a killing without much bother.
They're just kicking us up in the air so far, only way to play against the chin-stroking might of Sarriball.
While I'm at it, the United away support needs to be put in a bin. Bunch of dinosaurs.
That month when DDG wasn't playing because he was gonna go to Madrid he was much maligned (though if I'm honest I can't recall any specific howlers).
Maybe he just lacks confidence and thinks he's better off being the rotational keeper at United than going somewhere where he can get "FOUND OUT!" and replaced but without all of the cool perks.
I appreciate he doesn't really know the club yet, but Diogo Dalot must be a better bet than Ashley Young now.
They'll start singing the 12 days of Eric Cantona in a minute.
Sarri should be sacked on the spot if he manages to lose to Man Utd at home. Lol at Alonso once again.
The genius still hasn't worked out that having the non-defending Jorginho at the back of midfield makes us woefully vulnerable to that type of goal. So much space.
Right, get another defender on.
The irony is that Morata would have buried that headed chance that Higuain had earlier.
'Juan Matic'. He would be some footballer, walking through the entire opposition.
I don't normally like to slate pundits/commentators these days, but Martin Keown (if that is who this is) is a properly witless sack of shit. Why can't they employ literally anyone else? Is having a former BIG NAME mandatory? Although they don't apply that rule to Kevin Kilbane, so I have no explanation.
