    Slaven Bilić looked like a happy man in the post-match interview. Well deserved win!

    A return to the PL next season would be a dream! But? We are only 25% of the way through the season so I will remain calm for now. Lol!

    Hahah! Probably for the best yes, but by the looks of it Norwich are picking up points. Five wins and three draws in the last ten? That's impressive!

    Yep our league form recently has been exceptional! Hoping we continue in the same manor against Derby at home this weekend?!!!

    Puel?

    Only Hodgson rates higher on the underwhelmingometer.

    A step up from Shakespeare I suppose and did reasonably at Southampton.

    Actually given I'm lumbered with Kevin Keegan in posh glasses but with less defensive nous I'm about 2 games away from biting your hand off for someone as middle of the road as Claude.

    You should get Graeme Souness back to kick em all up the arse...that's the type of character we need at Arsenal,a Sean Dyche character.

    We'll probably end up with Claude Balls.

    Hadn't noticed Derby was all the way up to 9th. They must be in good form, as well!

    The first thing managers must look at when perusing a new contract is the severance pay stipulations.

    Carabao Cup draw for the quarter finals...

    Chelsea vs Bournemouth @ Stamford Bridge
    Arsenal vs West Ham @ Emirates Stadium
    Leicester City vs Manchester City @ King Power Stadium
    Bristol City vs Manchester United @ Ashton Gate

    I just call it the Cacao cup now. Close enough.

    Looking at that Arsenal fixture, I don't think it will be an easy one. Fear that Carroll might put one or two in the net behind the Arsenal defense.

    The London Derby is an interesting one, depends which West Ham or Arsenal for that matter turns up. United arguably got the easiest draw though away fixtures can't be taken for granted.

    If the four sides you allude too make the semi finals it will certainly raise the profile of the abracadabra cup

    Two teams blocking each other so far. Will be an interesting second half.

    Yeah as a United fan I expect more when at home, Spurs are a very good side though United had too many wayward passes. Rashford looks lively that's one positive, the ball is just not sticking with Lukaku he has been poor. Lukaku will probably score three second half now lol

    Neve really in doubt. All well and good putting 4 past Lovren and Minger but Spurs just lack the arsehole when it really matters.
