Whatever happens in the next half an hour after this game Luis Diaz must be placed behind protective glass under armed guard until the Champions Lge final

[Emmson]

Sad to see what has become of the FA Cup when I was a small boy it was a massive event, by far the biggest sporting event in Blighty. Nothing else came close.

[Kai]

Even VVD is off ffs, pushing prices further but that would be a huge blow

[Trader Pat]

If Man City have any sense they'll lose tomorrow to keep the title race going that bit longer so that we can't rest players before the Champions Lge final

Then there's Man Utd changing from their Grey strip at HT in a league match claiming they couldn't see each other - I'm sure that was against the saints?

Yep, 6-3. I was in Cuba when it happened on a school cultural trip and we only found out in Gatwick airport a week later coming home reading Shoot or Match magazines. Couldn't understand what the fuck actually happened but the Utd fans reactions were hilarious when they found out

School cultural trip to Cuba?!

Don't know what school you went to but in mine we went to a very wet Wexford to see an ancient Viking settlement or some such bullshit!

Posh Proddie majority boarding school but I was day pupil Catholic/Agnostic The teacher leading the trip was a big commie lover, the previous 10 or so trips had been to Moscow but decided to change it to Cuba the year I was in transition year so we got lucky.

Yay lottery time again

No need to apologise to Pointless Celebrity viewers. If they've got nothing better to do on a Saturday evening they're beyond help anyway.

Probably a good time to post this, Kostas Tsimikas has trademarked "Greek Scouser", no joke

[Kai]

I've aged a few years during those last few penalties, I think I'm in my 40's now Pat

[Trader Pat]

Great story that Allisson and Tsimikas are the heroes but spare a thought for Dustin Hoffman missing the vital penalty

[Kai]

Dustin Hoffman

Because of the nose? Thats a bit harsh

Dustin Hoffman

Because of the nose? Thats a bit harsh

The first time I saw him I thought of this fella...

For the uninitiated that's Dustin the turkey.. Ireland's entry in the Eurovision 2008 (Think he was named after Hoffman as well)

Three weeks from now we'll both be in our 80's at this rate!
