5 games away from glory
Real Madrid, Dortmund and Porto are dogshit so one of them please. Chelsea-PSG for Tuchel narrative and Bayern-City for Pep tears hopefully.

So good
Any non English team please. So Chelsea guaranteed.
3 English teams in the semi finals again it is.
City to win it.
A Taremi inspired 2nd leg could do Chelsea but yeah. Raping Real and 3 games away from glory
Tuchel can't believe his luck.
Chelsea’s FA Cup draws have been a piss take too. Sheff Utd is the biggest team they’ll be facing which is the quarters. They’ll no doubt draw Southampton or Bournemouth in the semis to top off the easiest run in history.
Great ties, as there should be at this stage. Haaland and Sancho should be a good test for Man City's defence and new and improved John Stones. Real Madrid v Liverpool could be an entertaining mess - neither look great and presumably both desperate to go through.
I see Man Utd have been give a bye into the next round.
About time we had a decent cup draw.
You could have drawn any of the other seven there and it would have been an easy draw.
Surely Granada, or indeed any team, can't be so bad that United can be considered to have drawn a gimme?
United are a long way ahead of any of them in terms of talent and resources. They aren't gimmes for Arsenal.
The Liverpool/Chelsea side of the draw is pretty lol.
Zidane to end up doing the League/European Cup double.
Hopefully PSG can get past Bayern and then they and City can agree to play their respective home legs in their oil state of choice.
The legend of Binedine Binman must continue.
City bottling this would be superb.
It's not really going to be bottling it if they lose to Bayern in the semis, is it?
There's no way City are beating Bayern. Lewandowski will abuse their defence.
Haaland will abuse them too first but I think City should have enough to get past them.
There is certainly potential for a slip up by City (in the context of the quadruple). They're going to be playing a shite load of games over the next period.
March 20: Everton (away)
April 3: Leicester (away)
April 6 or 7: Dortmund (home)
April 10: Leeds (home)
April 13 or 14: Dortmund (away)
April 17: Aston Villa (away)
April 17: FA Cup semi-final (if they progress) Clashes with the above fixture
April 25: Tottenham (Carabao Cup final)
April 27 or 28: CL semi-final (if they progress)
Saturday May 1: Crystal Palace (away)
May 4 or 5: CL semi-final (if they progress)
Saturday May 8: Chelsea (home)
May 15: FA Cup Final (if they progress)
Mad to think we'll basically be getting an open top bus tour to celebrate the league and CL even though we won't have done the double. What scenes.
Arsenal can do one for the Charity Shield.
We (Ho Chi Minh City) just beat our rivals Saigon with a 98th minute penalty from Lee Nguyen
What a way to make your first post in two years.

Absolutely loving this fluff piece in Forbes of all things.
OK, but answer me this: where is Mr A's comfort zone?Tackling intolerance is an issue that Abramovich also feels personally responsible to do something about.
I know we complain about our media being cunts, but the alternative is this kind of fawning shite you get across the pond.Abramovich's comfort zone is in infusing values and inspiring standards throughout Chelsea, rather than generating personal celebrity.

Haaland is an absolute monster. Dortmund are a proper comedy outfit. Can't defend, and won't defend for shit.
Lewandowski is now up to 35 league goals this season.
5 behind Gerd Muller's record with 8 games to go.
Gerd Muller probably never broke a sweat setting that record so I don't see how it can be beaten.
Man City’s kit is beautiful
Christ, this is woeful. We're done. Even if we stay up, I can't see Bruce staying on. The run-in says we're going to need three points from both Sheff Utd and Fulham. And hope the latter haven't grabbed points before then.

He is indeed in Pole position.
Very strange seeing us score five goals in two games. Newcastle look absolutely doomed.
Our only saving grace is we have two weeks off for the big players to recover. We do have a game in hand but it's against City. And, as fighty as Fulham have been, they're not winning games.
Fulham v Newcastle final day will be in play I reckon.
Their run in looks a lot more doable. Villa, Wolves, Arsenal, Chelsea, Burnley, Southampton, United, Newcastle. Realistically, we might get something from Burnley before the double-header at the end.
I reckon Fulham will be fine. They're in good form and have fixed a lot of the problems they had at the start of the season. Newcastle and potentially Southampton are my shouts.
Brighton @ 28/1 has to be worth a nibble. They have a horrendous run in.
Half the teams will probably give up on the league at a certain point, not least Man City.
Brighton's fine. Six points clear with a game in hand and a decent goal difference. Kind of sad that 32 points sees you safe but this has been an absolute shambles of a season.
False position returns.
