I think the only way Tre doesn't win this series is if Lord Sugar doesn't like his business plan enough. He's a certainty to make it to the interview stages I think and if he can make it into the final 2 then he'll surely win. He always tries to make the best out of every situation even when things are clearly heading for disaster he still tries to salvage what he can.

Well I know I've been here in the past over the years when we've lost to Liverpool! So much talk of "Jurgen Klopp's farewell tour" like everyone is supposed to be so emotional about him going and they should just automatically win every trophy. He could just leave now really, don't have to wait until the end of the season. Roy Hodgson didn't waste any time leaving after all. When Fergie announced he was leaving Man United he did it in May when the season was pretty much finished instead of making a big dramatic song and dance about it and he retired altogether from football management.

In the end it's us who are the beneficiaries of this! Of course Coventry are not to be underestimated but this is the best draw we could have got for the Semi final. As for today's match what a game it was. We started the game well but then after those two Liverpool goals in quick succession we were flat for a long part of the match and when Harvey Elliott scored I thought that was the game gone. Amad Diallo coming on made the biggest difference and what a moment at the end with him getting the winner so late in extra time. Anthony made a positive impact also when he came on. Hopefully we'll go one better than last season in the FA Cup but it's going to be very tough, however anything can happen in a one off match.

Rooney ran me close but I'm glad to have won it in the end for the 3rd time in a row! Thanks for hosting this Mack.

This is the best draw that could have possibly happened! If City are going to retain the European Cup they're gonna have to do it the hardest way possible now.

As this is a replay of the match that got cancelled earlier in the season I will use the original prediction for this match that you made when I get round to posting the results for this round. I had a brief look yesterday and awardinary is another person that would fall into this category as he predicted Bournemouth to win back in December.

No surprise at all that it's ended in a draw, Liverpool could have gone 4 points ahead of Man City with a win but instead it remains a 1 point gap between the two teams. People will say "oh what a great title race we've got on our hands" "it's 3 amazing teams blah blah blah". Arsenal fans will be wetting themselves because they are top of the table for the next few weeks. After this result I'll tell you what will happen: Arsenal fans spend the next 3 weeks gloating about being top of the table ----------> on the 31st March City beat Arsenal at home ----------------> City win the league at the end of the season for an unprecedented 4th time in a row. ^ Same familiar script being followed and if this chain of events doesn't happen then I'll eat my hat as the famous saying goes!

Watching the build up to Liverpool Vs Man City you'd think that Jurgen Klopp is about to be laid to rest!

I enjoyed those matches as well and also enjoyed Sting's final match which included a crazy bump from Darby Allin through glass! The PPV as a whole was great and will be hard to top for the rest of 2024.
