I'm surprised your owners didn't go the route of another bullsh*t sponsorship deal and made their own clothing brand just for City and 'invest' £2 billion in deals to get around the FFP rules.

You can't say that when the Pool are expected to get around £300 million from your Warrior Sports deal.

They don't need to, he's a clever bloke is Shakey Mansour, set up a sponsorship deal with Nike using money that United fans are splashing out on their replica kits to fund us for the future... genius.

HAHA Loving the way you put that.

As for Mansour...well, you don't get to be a billionaire without being smart and cunning...and a little oil wouldn't hurt

Well technically we're only getting about 150 million from Warrior, it's just now Liverpool have the rights of controlling other merchandise which Adidas didn't let us, so we can maybe squeeze extra penny's out.

I've got no problem with teams opening up big deals with sponsors but City's stadium deal is being funded from the Arabs brother which is basically his own company anyway, how that'll pass i don't know.

That's pretty funny actually.

Thomas Ince just scored in the play-offs for Blackpool, so I did a google search and yep...Paul Ince's son.

Ex Liverpool as well. Not had a bad start to his Blackpool career and still only 20.

When playing with our reserves though he always seemed to have that 'better than all you' attitude when he clearly wasn't, just seemed to have a bad attitude at times. Perhaps he was just pissed that he wasn't getting any first team chances.

Edit: Just looked and his shot has been declared an oggy.

Ince was absolutely outstanding for us tonight along with Evatt and Dobbie. I'm gutted that we've only got the one goal lead, I can't shake off the feeling that we're going to rue those missed chances come Wednesday night.

Just watched the Blackpoll-Bgham game, it was quite solid, i think they'll go through with that 1:0 from first leg, but in the finals vs West ham, it's going to be really tough.

FA Cup final today. Is it possible for neither to win?

Only abandonment would result in that, and all that would do is postpone the final to a later date.

I'm feeling the same. I'd slightly lean towards Chelsea winning it since I don't want Liverpool to undeservedly win two trophies this season.

If they win the game then they win the game, you cant win it undeservedly really.

I see it going to ET and pens!

[CheesyJ]

Fair enough, and they would have done well to win two cups, but I just don't really feel that they've been good enough overall to win two trophies. Dalglish's management of the club certainly doesn't warrant it, as he's an awful manager.

[Gareth Croke]

Won't be able to watch the match up here in Scotland cause STV are a bunch of nationalist pricks and don't show the FA Cup.

Still I don't really care who wins, I'm indifferent to both teams.

Arsenal 3 Norwich 3!

Added incentive for Newcastle tomorrow against City!

[JOSEPH X]

YEEEESSSS!

I felt so sick I had to turn off the iPlayer when RVP got the gunners third, but Norwich pulled out an equaliser. Now third is in Newcastle's hands. Come on Newcastle

COME THE FOOK ON!

[SIKKS66]

I'm working tomorrow. Managed to catch the derby but now I miss the real drama. I'll be the guy getting sacked tomorrow for sneaking off to check score updates on his phone.

[Baseball]

Does anyone know what the odds were that Norwich would score 3 goals?

I know the feeling. Working from 10:30 till 6; only chance I will get to see the scores will be around 2ish.
