I wanted him for Spurs tbh. Him or Potter.

I'm not saying he's not good, to be clear. I wouldn't have minded him here either.

But having a good squad and going from a dog shit manager to a good one should be an expected bounce - especially with 2 of the "big 6" floundering so badly.

Checks recent post history..... wasn’t me

There's a reason I didn't tag you. :)

I'm not shy about throwing banter, don't worry.

I know.... was just kidding. Nice start to the match by my perspective

What did you find bad? I'm not a fan at all of putting the games behind a paid streaming service, but I thought the actual production was very good.
I watched the Whitecaps/RSL game.

Audio was terrible. Multiple times through the game there was static.

Pre-game was okay, until just before kick off when they cut in and out of live action, seemingly to purposely miss the national anthems, only to come back to live action for the final bar of the Canadian anthem. :laugh: They cut off the commentator twice to go to "commercial".

Half time coverage was atrocious. They showed one highlight from the earlier games. Literally one, a single goal. No talk of the Whitecaps/RSL game at all. Most of halftime was a placeholder screen mixed with a handful of actual commercials.

It was pathetic. Didn't think someone could do a worse job than TSN, but here we are.

Hate to do it but have to give the United manager credit and congrats on his first trophy. Night and day from the previous years and got that Ronaldo twat out. Must be doing something right.

Tottenham lost at Bramall Lane. Wow.

Iliman Ndiaye. What a player. He's going to be a star.

It's going to sound like sour grapes, but honestly, as a Tottenham and Union (Philadelphia) fan, I couldn't care less about the FA Cup, League Cup, or Open Cup.

Yes, it's embarrassing to lose to a Championship team, but in the grand scheme of things, I don't really care.

When you look who's left in the competition this was a really good chance to win silverware though. At the end of the day the FA Cup still is a pretty prestigious trophy.

I only caught the bonus coverage after the United match but was wondering what happened

A club like Spurs should gunning to win the FA cup, especially with the teams left

I had it on in the background while watching the Arsenal game. From what I saw Tottenham were the better team obviously, but they never looked dangerous. Sheffield United had one good chance and scored.

I didn't read the article, but the BBC had a headline that said "Sunday's game means more to Liverpool than it does to United".

I guess so. :laugh:
