Fair enough - I'm off to the pub.

Well tough game, West Ham away is always a stiff test, not really a bad result, plenty of games to go....

Could be worse....we could support United...

When they started, I thought "oh no, 1 nil down straight away, shall I switch off" but I braced myself and it was a good game.
At 2-2 I had no idea how it might end and the amount of players dropping showed how hard it was.
Fair result.

Bittersweet victory.
Personally I'd swap a trip to Wemberly for De Bruyne not being injured. Looked nasty, could be costly

Yeah it might cost you a title chance or CL. Accidental injury seemed to fall akwardly, clumsy Everton tackle but nothing malicious.

Have to feel sorry for Everton, it looked definitely out, BUT the ball has to be 100% over the line, 95% is not good enough. Who would be a referee or linesman with so much at stake?

I would be very annoyed if it was the other way round.

I really hope KdeB is OK, looked quite a bad injury.

So it wasnt definitely out?

Yes, definitely out going of that picture.

That's the problem linesmen have, they are probably a few yards behind play and Sterling's leg would have been in the way anyway.

No problem at all with a camera pointing along the full goaline, between the two extreme posts, it seems so obvious, we are not back in the 1800's.

I am sure Referees would welcome it too.

Deffinately out, i could see it even on my telly but I also think the Everton goel shouldn't have happend as Augero was fouled just before they scored.

Not really. We should have a penalty in the first leg and a foul in the build up to their goal last night.

Not to mention the penalty we should have had in the league game and Martinez's graceless comments afterwards (which he seemed to conveniently forget last night)

Chelsea away in the 5th round.
Last season it would have been very tough,
This season, I don't know. It'll still be tough, they're improving but they can be beaten at home.
Is Kompany back by then?

I ended up buying a vintage shirt and had a great time at the game on Wednesday - I'll not comment on the prices of the beer/food though . I enjoyed it - I only made a couple of rugby comparisons



Ran in to some famous local guy too....

[stuartmmcfc]

Brillant, and the shirt suits you!
Are you going to be a regular now?

[stuartmmcfc]

Re the local guy.
I get sick of seeing him
