Think the Champions League campaign and FA Cup wins sort of mask the very patchy league season.

Plus they've had a very favourable last 16 draw in the champions league.

But look at the past week, good draw with Liverpool, late winner vs Chelsea, thoroughly beaten by Crystal Palace.
Still have a good league run now and top 5 and a champions league place is still achievable.

Yeh they do have a fairly good run in.
Always seems to be a drop off as well with new teams qualifying for champions league. See Newcastle

Michael Oliver not even giving a free kick for the face booting by the keeper whilst stood 5 yards away from it is laughable. Needing VAR to show him it was a red even worse.

Jonathan Pearce going on a weird little spiel about how rubbish var is when by that point they'd had to use it to tell the ref to send a player off, and to award Palaces second goal after the linesman flagged for offside after it came off a Millwall defender.

I saw the palace goal. It did it's job. Perfectly.

Jonathan Pearce is just odd.
 
Really good weekend of FA Cup football, and with a game tomorrow.

Feels like it's really opened up as well with the draw. City having to go to Bournemouth. Villa probably the favourites now what with them having Preston away in the quarter finals.
 
Citeh are still the favourites even with their poor form. Especially as it's the only cup left for them this year.

I'd be dreading a Palace Brighton final though.
 
Another entertaining game tonight with Forest going through on penalties against Ipswich.

Champions League back tomorrow, will watch Brugge vs Aston Villa as its an early kick off and probably go with the Madrid derby after that.

Looking forward to PSG vs Liverpool, bit of a nasty draw but you'll need to beat teams of this standard to win the thing so may as well get one of them out the way in the last 16.
 
Apparently Infantino has announced that the 2026 World Cup final will incorporate a half-time show for the first time.

How fun.
 
Most ridiculous goalkeeping performance for as long as I can remember by Alisson last night.

I don’t think this season is the best version of Liverpool that we’ve seen in recent years, but they just find a way of winning every time, what a team.

At the end of the day, that's what's important. Performing consistently well and getting win after win is what works.

Meanwhile, at Old Trafford... :p

It’s annoying isn’t it….
Wheels will fall off when half the team leave this season on a free..
 
Lyon boss has been handed a nine-month ban for confronting the referee, yet the Millwall keeper gets just three games for a insane flying tackle which resulted in 25 stitches for the other player 🤦‍♂️
