Couldn’t have been worse, even if you switch it around, I’d actually fancy a Leeds upset over City, as those have been close encounters this season. Instead, they get an easy ride against Southampton.

Yeah Leeds on their day can beat either us or City. At Wembley Southampton will get ripped open by city

We got Leeds.

Lets see if we beat the first PL team we git

For the footballing narrative, they'd want City to with the FA cup (plus the PL so Pep can neatly put a bow on his PL career before driving off into the sunset) but I really want Chelsea to ruin the story by winning the cup.

It was decided BEFORE the game that penalties would not be held at the end where the Leeds fans were behind the goal for "safety concerns" . ...??

Safety Concerns

The decision regarding the end for the penalty shootout in the West Ham vs. Leeds United FA Cup match was made due to safety concerns. The West Ham safety team informed Leeds United that, should the match go to penalties, the shootout would not occur in front of the away supporters.

Authority of the Referee

The referee has the authority to determine the location of the penalty shootout based on safety considerations. This unusual measure was taken to ensure the safety of all participants, including players and fans.

Implications of the Decision

Unprecedented Situation: This decision is highly unusual and has sparked controversy, as shooting towards one end can provide an advantage to the team shooting.

Already relegated.

Olise is an unforgivable fumble.

Bayern really dominating this over rated Madrid side. Maybe Blue Co can look at Bayern. Yeah they’ve got an inexperienced manager but they’ve bought quality over quantity in Kane, Olise, and Diaz. While also keeping their experienced winning players like Kimmich and Neuer.

What could have been, could easily be us if we were ran properly.

He'll probably renew his contract or even retire, but if Neuer wanted to just enjoy some time abroad I'd gladly bring him in for next season to show Penders how's it's done since we won't do anything else of note in that department.

This Real Madrid game has been a tough watch, simply because of the mindless scouse c**t ruining the game with his arsehole oohs and gasps and his gagging for RM to score. Supposed to be unbiased commentary you w**ker

Real Madrid looked like they were in dire need of signing Enzo Fernandez to me ... 😎

From blueco pov, Delap is a much better signing than Kane.

Particularly with TAA showing us - and Tuchel, in the crowd - why he's not in the England squad.

Leicester City: Championship club lose appeal against six...

Leicester City lose their appeal against their six-point deduction for breaching EFL financial rules.

Leicester City have lost their appeal against their six-point deduction for breaching English Football League financial rules.

The sanction was imposed on the club in February by an independent commission and saw the Foxes fall from 17th to 20th, however they have since dropped into the Championship relegation zone and are a point adrift of safety with five games remaining.

They were initially charged by the Premier League in May 2025 for breaching profit and sustainability rules (PSR) relating to the 2023-24 season, when they were in the Championship.

"With the matter now at an end and five games of the season remaining, everyone at the club is fully focused on the matches in front of us and on shaping the outcome of our season through our results on the pitch," a Leicester statement said., external

"We know this has been a challenging period, and we thank our supporters for the backing they continue to give the team.

"The responsibility now is to ensure these remaining games are approached with the focus and intent our current situation demands."

• Leicester docked six points for financial breaches

  • Published

    5 February

Leicester were "disappointed" when it was announced they were docked six points on 5 February and described the punishment as "disproportionate".

Under PSR, Premier League clubs cannot lose more than £105m over three years but the figure is reduced by £22m for every season a club spends outside the top flight.

Despite being charged by the Premier League, the EFL took on the case following their relegation last year and they were found guilty of breaking PSR rules in the English Football League.

Leicester had argued their case should have been considered over a 36-month period rather than 37 months, caused by a delay in submitting their accounts for 2023-24.

The commission ruled that it should be 36 months meaning the club's overspend of the EFL's rules during that period was £20.8m above the £83m limit.

The Foxes appealed the decision two weeks later - and less than 24 hours after the club appointed Gary Rowett as their new interim head coach until the end of the season.

Since they were deducted six points, Leicester's form has slumped further and they now face an uphill battle to survive a second successive relegation, after a run of just one win in 12 games in all competitions.

They could very well go down to League 1.

Cmon PSG 🤞

Nice start.1-0. deflection is a bonus 😂

And deserve to. Played funny buggers to try to beat FFP, delaying release of their accounts to try to change their financial year.
