2017-18 FA Cup

I think that's a pretty naive and simplistic point of view.

When he did it at Bolton the Sky 4 was still a thing. Now there’s a clear top 6

So yeah things do in fact change.

P.S. it was 8th, 6th, 8th and 7th under Allardyce

The Firmino/Holgate thing has been reported to the FA by Madeley. Investigation to take place.

 

[RossFC]

Will Grigg's on fire scored against Bournemouth.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You do know he led Bolton to three consecutive Top 6 finishes right?

No he didn’t.

 

[kreglze]

Come on Burnley, please hold. As usual, this may be Arsenal's only chance at a trophy and City going out this early would be handy.

 

[Sellout Scully]

Well Man City are in trouble. Looks like the ol' Stones is back

Perhaps the biggest shock though is that Coventry are beating Stoke. If they lose Mark Hughes will be hanging on by a thread.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Welp.

Just like that and the financial dopers are ahead.

It is scary how quick they can put the goals on.

Sounds like a pretty s**t performance from us. Back to the Bridge for a replay.

Top 8 not Top 6, apologies. Regardless, it evidences that a club with finance can produce good performances and results under Allardyce. When there was a clear top 6 and Martinez got Everton to 5th was that an imposssibility?

You're down to FAITH's level? Embarrassing.

Football has moved on since that time. Has Alladyce? His record is more miss than hit since he left Bolton.

Everton have taken a gamble. They were probably actually worried about going down with this group when they hired Sam. They obviously felt he would have the experience to keep that from happening, but going forward I can’t see him being able to break them into the top six let alone top four. If the board are ruthlessly ambitious they should sack him in the summer, but that in all honesty would be ethically wrong

2-0. Happy with the result. Sunderland huffed and puffed in the first half but didn't really offer much. We certainly weren't at our best but I'll take it.

Hits: Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, Palace
Misses: Newcastle

There's no doubt he can get clubs safety and mid table football. It's whether he can do it with a club with resources. It's like Redknapp before he took the Spurs job

Urgh, a draw. Dont need more games. Will probably win the replay with ease too

 

[Pessimistic]

There’s no denying city’s class but they are getting the rub with their offside trap exploitation

The got two goals that way and nec Minnit a burnley player is similar and it’s ‘offside’

 

[largebus]

The day Spurs sacked him was a sad one indeed. Funniest manager outside of LVG

 

[Art Vandelay_]

WOW. What a towering header for Newport to (likely) dump Leeds.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Dean gives a straight red before the restart to Saiz. No F'n idea why, lino has seen something.

Spat at someone apparently.

 

[kreglze]

Seemed offside by a mile, but Ospina is so weak, should never be a goal. Such an Arsenal goal to concede.
