The Natural Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Picked my Bradford City birthday present today, last one there. Bradford City are playing Bolton Wanderers at home, first time Phil Parkinson's returned to Valley Parade since going to Bolton. 22 minutes in and 2-0 to the Bantams.
Pete Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 39 minutes ago, The Natural said: Aye. Well done, Lincoln. First non-league side into the final eight since QPR... in 1914.
sabremike Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 If you put a Lincoln on Lincoln to reach the quarters how much would that have netted you (I'd ask Dewar our resident gambling expert but he's Canadian so the Lincoln currency reference wouldn't apply to him)?
Dewar Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2896454/lincoln-citys-odds-slashed-from-20001-to-1501-after-extending-their-remarkable-fa-cup-run-following-win-over-premier-league-burnley/ Lincoln started out at 2000-1 to win the cup, is now 100-1 going into the quarterfinal. You can still get 4-1 odds on Arsenal or Man United to win the cup. Those are both bets I would consider making.
Death From Above Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 What are the odds on "Wenger will manage until he dies, then he will return as a vampire lord and continue to manage"?

Pete Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 So one of the Hatter denizens yesterday asked me why I thought City wasn't winning handily because "you're the smart guy here, you're the intellectual." All righty! Me: "Well, Huddersfield are really good this year and the match is at their place so they've got a hot crowd, plus we're probably looking ahead to Monaco mid-week and United next Sunday..." Cindy: "It's because we're playing like shit!"

sabremike Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 It starts tonight at RBA. FORZA METRO!!!!
AxB Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 All the papers today are saying Rooney's off to China. Next Tuesday. He stayed long enough to get the ManU record, and the Chinese transfer league doesn't close until the end of February.
Death From Above Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 It's seriously crazy all this money flowing out of China. Like, I'd never even heard of a significant move by the Chinese league a year ago and now there are world record salaries flying around.
ChesterCopperpot Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Ranieri DOWN! (apparently) Dilly ding dilly gone

odessasteps Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I only hope that he goes to China so there is no chance he ends up back at Goodison Park.

ReiseReise Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 It's sad, but recently it didn't seem as if Leicester was able to turn things around. It's football. Coaches are the first to go if actions are required.

(Congrats if you get that reference).
Roman Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Ranieri sacked... What a fucking joke. I hope Leicester goes down now and never shows its face in the Premier League again.
AxB Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Has David Moyes always had no eyebrows, or did they fall out somehow?
Death From Above Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 He had eyebrows when he was a Celtic player, so I'm just going to assume that Manchester United kept them when they fired him as some sort of penance.
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 Crystal Palace fans accidentally vandalize their own team's bus http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/27/crystal-palace-fans-accidentally-vandalise-team-bus/ They should relegate them just for this.
Jiji Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Leicester 3 - 1 Liverpool Ian Ayre, one numpty, replaced by Peter Moore, an even a bigger one. But I guess we'll get Coutinho on the cover of FIFA 18 (if he's still around).
sabremike Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 41 years later we finally got revenge for our FA Cup defeat at the hands of Southampton. Somewhere the Doc is smiling. Well done Ibra, well done Special One! Would really like to win the Europa League as that's the only major trophy we've yet to win.
