Doku was also very good at falling on his arse, i think he slipped about 5 times in 15 minutes. At that stage i was thinking he had pontefract cakes as studs.

lol just conjuring up that image of pontefract cakes

Clutch? What the fuck does that mean? Sounds a bit Arsenal Fan TV to me, got a stink of the septics about it.

You know clutch if you have kids who are gamers

The thing that impressed most last night was our defending. Nearly back to our best. Ake was superb and Dias wasn't far behind.
Gvardiol still has room for improvement mind.

We've not conceded a goal from open play in the FA Cup since the 2022 semi-final.

8 games, and in those games we've played Chelsea, Arsenal, Rags & Spuds.

Seems we save our better defensive performances for the Cup.

No advantage rule now to the attacking team.
Stupid rule now.Take ages now to come to a decision to rule out for being centimetars offside.

Advantage rule?

The only "advantage to the attack" rule was an instruction to the assistant not to flag unless sure the player was offside. Still applies without VAR. So far as I know, it's still the instruction with VAR, and the AR got it right last night. (Whether he would have been so sure without VAR is almost a psychological question.)

Anyway, here's why we wanted VAR... (Kyle Walker a yard offside for Spurs v City, 2015, not given)

I did, soon shut up.

He was suggesting that’s only clear and obvious should be looked at not judged under small fractions

Maybe there should be a margin for error that should be allowed, as there supposedly is in speed cameras. I don't see how var can actually measure offside to millimetre accuracy as they pretend.

It was some night. Istanbul in Haringey.

They were the home team (who haven't won a trophy in the last 16 years, despite being a "big club"), and they had one shot in the whole game. And two corners.
