Football Season 2017/18

Um, look, I’m a huge admirer of Spurs (how could I not be, they have Pochettino?!) but Rochdale levelling for 2-2 was pretty amazing. Here’s to the magic of the Cup.

Wigan - Man City FA Cup tonight on BBC1 7.30 PM.

You know who I am routing for but anything can happen in the Cup.

Good to see Rochdale get something on Sunday.After Kane made it 2-1. I was expecting that was that .Great they have got the replay at Wembley Stadium.Great for the supporters at good payday for Rochdale

The problem with (Cup) games like Spurs v Rochdale is that the Premier League team is on a hiding to nothing. They're expected to win because they are in the higher League. Therefore, if they do the comments are 'So what? You beat a lower League team. You're supposed to.' I f they lose, everybody laughs.

I just hope we win the replay.

Well done, Wigan. The magic of the FA cup is still there.  

Oh my!

Gutted for City - Best of Luck to Wigan - Hope you get those Rags in the Final and bury them like you did us tonight

Shame about the crowd problems at Wigan after the game. Footage appeared to show Aguero needing to defend himself. Not sue what the sanctions will be but rather takes the shine off a great cup upset. 

Looking forward to watching the Chelsea v Barca game on BT Sport this evening. A Chelsea fan I work with tells Messi has yet to score against them in the Champions League. 

An entertaining game at the Bridge.  Pretty even but Chelsea should have won it, save for a silly pass across their own box which Barca punished.   

Chelsea played a fine game, and Willian was brilliant. Will be interesting to see how they approach game two at Camp Nou. Hopefully another good effort!

After the FA Cup exit to Wigan -Here's the Man to bring us some silverwear in the Carabao cup final this afternoon....Come on City

Congratulations Ian, and I must say that your photography is top notch too  :-)

Enjoy the moment, Ian. I think it highly likely you'll have one or two more before the season is done.

Congratulations to City. You are really dominating English football at the moment, playing positive and attractive football.

As to your opponents on Sunday, well I'm a Spurs fan so I will diplomatically refrain from comment.

Oh bugger it, no I won't.............  ARF !!! ARF !!! ARF !!! OH DEARY ME..........

HTF has Wenger kept his job for the last 2/3 years.

Winning the FA Cup 3 out of the last 4 years probably had something to do with it.

Arsenal are now FA Cup Giant-Killers.

Just back from St Mary's. If Saints can't beat Stoke with that many chances, well....

Away to Barcodes next week.

I notice Kev's Hammers being drawn in to the mire too.

Three points and third place.

I'm happy.

Fourth place surely?

Hopefully City can do us a favour tomorrow.

It was third when I wrote it...

Still 13 points above the *rse though.

What can I say? Must be a different timezone up here.

Looks like the competition for 2nd place is getting interesting at least.

Looking great for City and the title.So dominant over Chelski with 71 % possession.Very Happy tonight.

Can't believe the Arsenal situation and what a mess their in.Think Brighton should stay up now - Hope so.

Southampton where woeful with no fight and West Ham dismal with the revitalized Swansea City
