FA Cup 4th Round Weekend: Other matches

MrsGrey · February 13

New thread. For your words of wisdom.

MrsGrey · February 13

Not watching, but now and then checking the BBC page to see what's happening.

Not much, it seems.

To the extent that the Beeb think it worth trying to liven things up by reposting this contributions from one of the great unwashed:

I’d love Delap to come good, but he isn’t a Chelsea player and never will be. Next season he’ll be at Spurs or West Ham. (Sez 'Dazza' lol)

MrsGrey · February 13

I think 'Dazza' might have slunk off.

You’ve scared anyone from posting by setting the standard at wisdom

That Digne foul was much worse than the Potts one. He got a yellow.

MrsGrey · February 14

Also, Abraham was offside.

MrsGrey · February 14

Any Newcastle folks who ever said VAR ruining the game, hope they step up after and say they prefer it this way.

MrsGrey · February 14

Yikes. Now a straight red 😂

MrsGrey · February 14

Scenes.

Think that was perhaps the only 1 of the 3 correct decisions mentioned , the offside should have been spotted IMO

Fortuneseeker · February 14

MrsG, EPL ref at Villa Park with VAR normally available to assist them v a Championship referee. Thought both refs at the Hull game & ours were poor IMO.

jay_in_cpt · February 14

Kavanagh having a mare, that was well inside the penalty box , but justice is done , Newcastle score…

MrsGrey · February 14

Outrageous.
Ref gives handball against Digne.
It's clear he was inside the area and he's on a yellow. Should be a penalty and 2nd yellow.

MrsGrey · February 14

Shame that Newcastle leading means lots of images of men with their shirts off. 🙈

So, do we actually strongly dislike Slot?

So you are new to this club then? 😂

Not as much as Arteta!

MrsGrey · February 14

Well, obviously not. 😆 Who could be worse?!

My ' other team ' bandwidth is limited, and so far has been quite full. But now Slot has elbowed his way into my attention (perhaps because there's a plethora of managers who come and go in the blink of an eye before I can form any kind of judgement.)

Slot seems whingy and entitled. I mostly ignored his first season. I was just glad to see the back of Klopp!!!!

Fortuneseeker · February 14

MrsG, I think this part of your last sentence (Slot seems whingy and entitled) sums up a lot of the Big Six managers and their supporters alike.

Haven't seen much of him this season, but, like you, I was so glad to see the back of Klopp that I wasn't too bothered about Slot. Btw, I wonder if Trivago realise that using Klopp in their adverts means loads of people will never, ever use their website.

But not as many as will.

Imagine coming down feeling hung over to breakfast at a hotel and seeing Klopp’s teeth dazzling you from over the baked beans tray at the buffet and having to put up with his crowing about getting a cheaper deal than you.

There is a big match in Scotland at 4.30pm. Hearts are trying to be the first club to break the big two dominance since 1985, should they beat Rangers this afternoon I think they will manage it but should they lose I suspect the pressure will build and either Rangers or Celtic will catch them late on.
