Perhaps Dion thought he wanted to flip it for a rental at auction?!

Not FA, but SFA Cup. I’ve just seen Rangers lost at home to Queen’s Park!

A bigger shock odds wise than Plymouth beating Liverpool.

He was harking back to the glory days, when he broke his own neck by head-butting Robbie Savage.

I would love an English team to win a European trophy but I can't see this Spurs team winning anything.

People talk about us having a weak underbelly.

Spurs are 45 mins from exiting 2 cup competitions in 5 days without a single booking. They have no fight. I don’t care how many injuries they have, they just won’t put a foot in and let teams play right through them.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool out.

Please God don't make it the Geordie's year.

I'm hoping Villa throw everything at it and go on to win it. I think their involvement in Europe may be a big factor.

Rashford seems fired up. I do hope the lad makes the most of this opportunity and resurrects his career. It can only be good for England if he does.

Ange will probably be ok as long as they are still in Europe. I think the one they are in gets qualification for the Champions League if you win it?

I thought that but you wouldn’t back them to win the Europa League the state of things at the moment. If Ange actually tried a different approach he might be given more time, but just playing the same way and losing over and over surely can’t keep going on.

Interesting that Villa have given Rashford the number 9 shirt. Privilege for a loanee.

I hope we have a decent sell on for Rogers, he has to be in the £60M bracket now, not bad for someone who was only a league one standard player 14 months ago

 

[Norman_Conquest]

That would have been a cracking goal.

20% apparently

Whoa. "Yorkshire Spurs" scarf. That's an esoteric item.

 

[Abel Tasman]

Here’s a mad stat. If Spurs go out here at Villa Park it would be the first time since the 1891-92 season that none of the North London Clubs, Merseyside Clubs or Chelsea have made it the last 16 of the FA Cup.

And it comes to pass. Great stat.
