Great from Spurs, Harry Kane will be on the bench when he's fit!!! Did anyone watch the Real Madrid game, they are so jamy!

Oh, I agree Danny Rose is shite, but I was genuinely amazed at just how good Vertonghen was in that role last night. Talk about embarrassing for Mr Rose! :lol:

Heard they got bailed out by VAR.
I HATE that club. Everything always falls for them. Run out of cash, no worries the Spanish Gov buys their training ground for 200m yoyos and sells it back to them for 1yoyo. Soft Penalties, dodgy decisions, last minute screamers, Liverpool Keepers who pass straight to your CF 20 yards from goal etc.
Superb result for Spurs, surely not even Spurs can mess that up now?
Not a full strength Dortmund side, but nor was it a full strength Spurs side so it evens out.

I didn't realise Dortmand were 3 - 0 up at the weekend and through it away, Spurs were amazing though IMO. As for UEFA Madrid, you need to see it, ridiculous and as for Ramos, the bloke is just an out and out cheat.
UEFA investigating Ramos admitting he got booked on purpose so he wouldn't miss the quarter final. Not sure WTF they can do. I suspect they will do FA anyway as it's Real and they get away with murder.

Yeah probably, although some would say Chelsea already are! :roll: Man Utd could lose tonight and against Liverpool and I think they will still have a good chance of getting 4th, which isn't bad when you look at where we were. But for me it will be depressing going out tonight, even though City will probably win it, at least we could have something to look forward to i.e, semi final or final, assuming we avoid City next.
I didn't realise how many times we have been drawn against Chelsea in the FA Cup, ridiculous it is!
2-2 tonight. :wink:

Well, you were half right. Utd scored two.
Chelsea were pish. It looks like everyone has worked out their tactics revolve around jorgino (spelling) dictating play from CM and ALL their attacking goes through Hazard. To stop Jorgino you put a man close to him and ehhh Chelsea fall apart. Sarri has no alternative p0lan. whether that's cos he is too stubborn or he genuinely has no other idea I dunno but I will be amazed if he is still in charge after City destroy them on Sunday.
I still don't know if Solskjaer is a decent manager either lol. Chelsea were so poor and so predictable tonight that Utd didn't really need to get out of third gear. They are clearly better under him than under Jose, but that isn't a compliment. If he gets them CL footy and makes an FAC final (assuming they don't draw City in the semis, a spot in the final is there for them) where I suspect they will lose to City, Solskjaer can't really have been expected to do much more. Is he a long term option at Utd though!?

With the squad UTD have you have to think that any half decent manager not intent on playing anti football and/or destroying all confidence in his own team could get them to the latter stages of the FA cup and in with a shout of top four?
Who should they get instead?
Poch?
Howe?
Zidane?
Wenger :lol:

Ohh, I agree. That's one of the reasons I was so hard on Jose, cos he was making it sound like top 4 would be a miracle. In fact I think he used that exact word. He has been shown up for the washed up has been that he is, and by a bloke who was managing in Norway FFS.
As for who Utd should get in full time, there is a guy available, big reputation, great track record (ish), bound to do a good job. His name is Jose Mourinho! :wink: :lol:

I actually thought at half time I was going to be right and had a repetitive dream last night of Utd throwing away a two goal lead, but randomly against Arsenal. :lol: I thought Utd were a little fortunate to be 2 up at half time, but I find it hard to watch those games, I just think Chelsea are going to score every time they get the ball. So it's probably reverse biost, if that makes any sence? :?
I think Sari has had it at Chelsea, the way they change managers. I reckon in 10 years time Chelsea will go through a couple of managers during a game. Time will tell with Solskjaer (spelt that without checking so he must be doing something right) and one thing I would say is they should wait till the season has ended until a dicision is made public.
Flipping Wolves away next, that is harder than Chelsea. Bloody stitch up this draw has been so far.
On to Liverpool now can see them destroying Bayern Munich tonight at Anfield. :wink: :lol:

I've already told you Liverpool are going to win the league. Liverpool will go through against Bayern, I really do reckon as well. I did think they would win tonight.
Well that wasn't quite the game I was expecting. Fair play to Bayern they turned up with a game plan, boring as it was, and executed it perfectly. It didn't exactly make for an exciting or even interesting spectacle but I doubt they give a ****.
Second leg will be a different affair, they will obviously have to attack and that will leave spaces. They can't exactly play with a flat back 8 and Lewandowski stood on the half way line, at home.
Mark Lawrenson reckons the result plays to Liverpool's strengths. Ehhhh rrriiiiittteeee.
That's the same Liverpool who have lost their last five away CL games? Including one to the might of whatever the **** Red Star Belgrade are now called. They are going to play a Bayern side who have lost 3 of their last 30 CL games (all to eventual winners Real). And that is Liverpool's "strength"?!? ****, I'd hate to see what he calls a weakness.
Advantage Bayern.

Yes but if Liverpool get an early goal, all those stats go out the window. I don't think it's advantage anyone, games in the balance for me.
Another example of Poch getting punished for taking unnecessary risks today. Why bring on Lamela in place of Foyth in an already light back 3? You don't need to panic when it's 1-1 after 60 minutes, and having 4 strikers on the pitch doesn't help. The first two goals for each team cancelled out two bad refereeing decisions, but the winner for Burnley was just plain **** defending.
And this is what Spurs specialise in - losing a 'must win' game before two massive ones, and instead of being 13 points clear of 5th we'll be 1 point away by this time next Saturday.

Definitely a disappointing result for Spurs. Sloppy defending conceding two needless goals, and the usual snail's pace moving the ball forward until after the second Burnley goal (when there was no time left), when they finally started putting a few useful balls into the box and causing Burnley problems. Too little too late.
