And, we're off.....2016/17

Good draw. Juve vs Monaco should be a great tie. Would love Monaco to get to the final. They've got such an exciting team, and if they keep their young stars they'll be a force in a few years. Mbappe, Silva, Lemar, Sidibe, Mendy, Bakayoko and even more wonderkids in their youth teams. Mbappe in particular has been superb this year.

Also, in shock news, Adam Johnson is a moron. Seen the latest video clip of him? What an imbecile that man is.

Monaco cant generally keep their best players so although they've a good chance this year going forward they'll recycle again, look a very good side for now. I would like Juve to win, always liked them since the Platini/Boniek days and their strip is the best one out there imo. Their defence is superb too. Alas Mr Ronaldo and Co will most likely win again, very very strong team.

Is much of what he said wrong though? Really?

Nothing much wrong with saying he wish he had raped her. Nothing at all.

Now you're paraphrasing what he said to make your point. I said at the time that he shouldn't be in prison and I stand by that - I think he's right when he says that he wouldn't be in prison if he wasn't famous.

Also, someone giving it a bit of bravado in prison? Nothing shocking there, is there?

It's not paraphrasing. The guy says to him:

"It's not like you raped her or owt like that"

"I wish I f'ing did for 6 years"

Bravado or not, the guy's a moron.

Ibrahimovich looks like he is out for the season - if the injury is that bad it could be his career over.

Big blow of Mancs chances of getting a top 4 spot

Think it could be a blessing long term. I'm not convinced on rashford yet. Seems to have it all but the finishing instinct but time will tell. But think they lack urgency with Zlatan in the side. He's obviously been brilliant this year. But no they're record has been any worse without him.

Big blow for United and he's been a great addition but nothing to suggest the injury will be career thrreatening

Hmmm, City get £33 million back from UEFA for sticking to FFP. In fact making a profit for the last two years.
Thats been kept quite.

They've made a profit?


No way that's legit 😂

I read only recently they were being investigated over false accounting to illegally show a profit which was only due to current directors of City forming a separate limited company to loop other revenue and sponsorship through? Or something along those lines.

5live promo for the FA cup this weekend concentrated on the romance and giant killing of the cup. Not quite appropriate considering the semi final line up.

Oh how times have moved on from the brown envelope brigade 😁

A good start in the FA Cup semi-final ..................... but please don't try to convince me that Dele Alli didn't know exactly what he was doing.

I don't know LT, there have been some fantastic giant killings this year, mainly involving Lincoln. But it has been one of the better years for the FA cup.

edit to say if City lose tomorrow yeah it's been a crap year and vastly overrated. 😁👍

Big dive there from Moses but Son put the opportunity on a plate for him.

 

[Tashyboy]

Well am off to buy a big bag of popcorn to listen to the traditionalists explain why we still don't need video replay. Tom Daley would be proud of that dive.

 

[Jensen]

Victor Moses is a better diver than Tom Daley

 

[Pin-seeker]

Clear penalty.
