Bradford knock out Chelsea, Middlesborough knock out City.

Nice.

Well that was certainly an interesting day.

Spurs and Southampton too. Just Liverpool and Arsenal to go. (Though I might let Liverpool win for Stevie G's birthday).

It does not bode well for us tomorrow.

Second best Watford game I've ever been to.

DAYUM, Ighalo was good. Well and truly a game of two halves.

Most rubbish Liverpool performance for a few months, that. Sakho the best of a bad bunch.

How was the game ?? Couldn't go because I was in a show today, but I've heard that we just got in the way for 90 minutes.

Delph signed a new contract.

I don't even care if we lose now (half-expect it anyway), I'm just glad he's sticking around. All these rumours of a 4m transfer were starting to worry me, tbh.

Not only that but you scored goals and won.

Two of them! In one half!
Apparently, since signing the little Spanish fella, we now have...

The chance to claim the record outright for most common FA Cup final matchup is still on, I see. Excellent.

van Praag, current KNVB president and former Ajax president, has announced his candidacy for FIFA president.

Now let's hope he gets 4 other national assocations behind him for his candidacy to be valid

Raiola has removed himself from the race in favour of van Praag.

This is going to be interesting.

It's like the Football Gods decided we football fans had quite enough fun last round and wanted give us a lot of really dull unimpressive looking fixtures for the 5th round to make up for it.

Bojan Krkic out for the rest of the season for Stoke - ouch, that's a bummer, he's been in great form.

by **Evil Lord Sauron** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 8:21 am

Thank you Cazorla. Put my fantasy team back on track.

Crystal Palace busier than most other teams on deadline day, signing Wilfried Zaha back from Man Utd and Lee Chung-yong from Bolton.

What a waste of a year and a half that was for Zaha.

It appears Redknapp's thrown a paddy about not being able to sign players and has resigned.

Speculation
Fact

I've been ignoring mine for like a month. Surprised I only dropped a few places when I come back and half my team is injured or suspended.
I don't know why I swapped Eriksen for Lamela at the beginning of the season, that was stupid. At least I have the wildcard...

I wonder if "leaving to have knee surgery" will be the new "leaving to spend more time with the family"

Yeah I've been tinkering weekly, but last week over half my team was out injured. Had to use an emergency wildcard to fix it. I think since most had Fabregas, Sanchez and a Newcastle defender we all struggled with injury.

The USSF and FA have both endorsed Prince Ali over Blatter (to no great surprise), along with Jordan, Malta, Belarus, and Georgia. These are just the Football Associations that he has mentioned as having endorsed him - there are likely more that have quietly done so in the buildup to the election.

Bertrand, Costa, Siggy, all suspended. Fabregas injured, Yaya at ACN.. There were a few others that weren't terribly notable. Some other players playing weakly. Hanging on to Fabregas and Bertrand, hoping the former can play soon and no more than 1 of Fonte, Clyne, Ashley Williams, and Cresswell get injured/suspended.
It killed me to have to take off Chadli though. I wanted him and Eriksen, but Kane is so red hot and taking out Lloris would be stupid. Swapped him for Downing who is also doing well.

Wondering what would happen if I still had Bony and say 3 other city players when he was transferred, what would happen with the game?
Surely someone had to have something like Aguero, Bony, Silva, and Yaya all on the same team?
