Watched the Palace game the other night and thought Pogba was awful - probably the worst player on the pitch. Bad attitude, poor application, long passes that usually ended up in the seats. He clearly thinks he’s some sort of world beater the way he prances about but his team mates were pretty pissed with him on Monday night. Really don’t think PEG will put up with him putting in that sort of shift.

He's a gobshite rag sycophant who knows nothing about sport, got badly shown up when trying rugby commentary over here and being unable to shoe in rag cliches every 20 seconds instead of doing his job.

Conor McNamara used to claim that he was a City fan. He also once said on the radio (Today FM, I think it might have been - it was definitely whilst reporting from the ground for a match v the Crazy Gang) that Wimbledon had won the cup in 1988 but City had won three FA In the 1960s.

Why is everyone assuming they will beat Seville? From what I watched they will be lucky to stop them scoring..cue 3-0 home win..

Good man Johnny Giles, never a man for yielding to the hype

Indeed so much for over half the quarter finalists being English that I kept hearing, we could very easily just have us & the dippers in the draw.

This is the only reason I wanted Tottenham and United to qualify for the QF. I don't want them to rest mid-week while we travel around playing high intensity games. Spurs now will have the advantage that Liverpool had against us.

They are not exactly going to hunt us down for the league though are they

“Jose always wins the league in his 2nd season”
“U****d always finish strongly second half of the season”
“U****d Way”

etc... Yawn

I'm not. 2-0 to Sevilla would have been a fair score in the first leg and I can't see the rags not conceding an away goal.

Do you reckon it'll be worth 17 and 21 points to them respectively over the last 9 league games?

It may help if Sevilla don't leave their top scorer on the bench for 80-odd minutes this time.

Yeah that was strange, Muriel is a really good player but not much of a goalscorer, Ben Yedder should play.

Steve 'Umbrella' McLaren reckons the scum are a bigger club than the dippers because they have more followers on Twitter :-/

He thinks the reason Spurs lost to Juventus is that Spurs bring through all their own players and Juve buy an entire team. Yesh Shteve, playing Harry Kane (the only academy player in the squad) really cosht them thish sheashon.

Any rest advantage they may have is mitigated by the fact that we are a different class to them. Shown by our points advantage

I just don’t want these ****s to do a 1969 on us. The jammy scummy twats.

Hope you’re right BH , am still scarred by that and thought of it happening again risks my health and sanity.

Their season has petered out to yet another damp squib, so there's no incentive for them in the league, they'll just conserve all their energy and focus on the FA Cup.
