The FA Cup

Arsenal forced into a replay. West Brom get dumped out by Reading, and Chris Brunt was hit by a coin thrown by a West Brom supporter.

Excited

Rooney's had to feign injury 'cause he still fears Shrews in the FA Cup after his Everton experience many years ago. Otherwise they gone full strength.

Magnan to score fairytale winner says I He's a lower league journeyman, got ditched by Shrews in the summer and dropped to non-league only to be re-signed in January after the new strikers brought in didn't do too good. And a Scouser too. Perfect narrative.

Why are Man Utd allowed to have a group of offside players blocking the keeper's view of free kicks? Is that 'not interfering with play'?

THAT was a bite from Diego Costa, get him hung!

Chelsea season ends with utter failure

Only a shame they managed to claw their way out of relegation battle. Could still finish bottom half though.

Costa won't even get a 3 game ban, let alone the 9 games or whatever it was for Suarez.

It's time to get rid of Costa this summer. He may be the only game changer they have right now and he is world class but nearly every game he has the potential to be sent off and it's just not worth it. There are similar level players or better that aren't maniacs and Chelsea can afford them.

Suarez got 9 cause he'd bitten people before Luis.

That was some hit. Arsenal's got 25 mins to salvage something from their season.

Damn. That is surely the end of Wenger. Arsenal may actually be a force in the next few years now

Don't forget the 4th placed cup they win most seasons but not winning the finish above Spurs cup must really hurt.

As long as they finish top 4, Wenger's safe.

Not this time. In a season where this Manchester United side are still in touching distance of top 4 and Leciester City are 5 clear at the top this is extremely disgraceful from Arsenal, even for them.

Nevermind what should happen, they won't sack Wenger, and he's still too arrogant to leave.

I go for a sandwich and Arsenal are 0-2 down, I should eat more.

'zackly. Winning nothing but qualifying for Champions League is like their bare minimum expectation but as long as he achieves that he won't be under serious threat of sack, it'd only be if he decided to call it a day himself (and you get the impression he'd only willingly do that if he can end on a high)

Chelsea and Arsenal's seasons died this weekend. Will United's season die also?

oh Welbeck. How you miss that?

Watford are gonna f**k this up.

Arsenal could have won the title this year ffs.

Arsenal left it too late to step up the pace. You see the pressure they capable on putting on when they do and you just think - why not play with that intensity the moment you go behind?

Now how many do we think Spurs will score? I'm going 1-5, which is wildly optimistic as I can't really see anyone in our team who can score the 1.

I hope Spurs win 10-0 just for fantasy reasons. It's selfish of Villa to deny people fantasy points now.

But then I don't want Spurs to win the title.

Calm down Luis, potential doesn't matter and it was his 1st red card for Chelsea.

Man U losing now

In my whole life I can't ever remember a season when all the supposed big teams have been so shit.

Which is a disgraceful statistic in itself. He's like Fellaini, gets away with elbowing players, stamping on them and abusing refs. He's a thug and not worth having when you have unlimited funds.

This is what everyone wanted though surely? Embrace it before City buy Neymar and Busquets this summer.

Forgot Schweinsteiger plays for Utd now. Seems like he's been a pretty pointless signing.

It's been great, but the big clubs incompetence is ridiculous.

They settled for 2. Pretty lazy performance by them, would've thought they'd wanna really ratchet up the GD but they couldn't be bothered once it was 2-0.

Villa could still be playing this match until this time next Sunday and would not score a goal. Gestede managed to hit bar with open goal from 3 yards. I look forward to summer when most of these players will leave the club, never to be seen again at any decent level of football.

our goal difference is already very healthy - you also discredit Villa's role, Guzan made some good saves and alongside some dodgy finishing from Spurs we blew that opportunity to really rack up a cricket score early on. Personally I was delighted to see them strolling through the last 20 minutes as tiredness is going to be a factor going into the last 8 games.

BTW apparently the Spurs fans were joining in with Villa fans singing about Lerner out which went down well. I think most Spurs fans know that Villa are a biggish club similar to Spurs who have been let down terribly by board level mismanagement which could happen to any of our club if fans don't keep owners accountable. I personally hope to see Villa back up again soon: been to Villa park a few times and they, like Everton and Newcastle, are what you would call "proper established" clubs without all the glory hunting / media love in bullshit that comes with the likes of the traditional top 5.

Tell you what though. It's great to see Harry Redknapp's ground work finally paying off
