Leverkusen back up keeper Lomb is the worst of all though.

Leicester deservedly out. They started a second string against a very good first string and the best team won.

It was a good win and shows the difference in experience between Leicester and Arsenal. We put out a weakened team and failed to progress because we are worried about our injury situation and playing on three fronts. I guess it makes the weekend match a bigger game. A loss for us and win for you keeps you interested in qualifying for Europe through the league and increases the pressure on us. A win for us and a loss for you makes you put all your eggs in the Europa league route to the champion's league and eases the pressure on us. A draw will be unhelpful for both of us.

Will be interesting to see how how flying Rangers do against Slavia. A win for Rangers would put our defeat into context as poor but I believe that people have been undervaluing Slavia simply because they are from a league that people don't watch.

Arsenal looking for revenge against Olympiakos.

Manu are favourites for the title so should beat anyone.

Spurs have another "lesser" league team so should romp home ;-)

You and I know that ManU are going to crumble right before the goal line. They always do in recent years.

I see a last minute semifinal exit or a loss in the final in their future.

:D That's probably the case. Consistency is the problem at the moment and it only takes 1 bad game.

If , god forbid, Bruno was injured on Sunday and out for the season, do you think that Manchester would stay top 4 and win one of the cups?

As a Leicester supporter, I'm hoping you maintain interest in the Europa League and that you decide to rest players in the next round of the FA Cup. If you're going to finish top 4 in the league, which seems likely, then you winning the Europa League makes no difference to the 4 CL spots for English clubs, so tbh I'd rather you won it than Arsenal or Spurs as they seem less likely to be in the top 4 of the prem.

So that was a dirty little kick on the goalie by McTominay. Should that have been red?

Sweet goal by Amad. What a header.

Milan deserved the win tonight at Old Trafford, but 1-1 is still a good result. Amazing match by the rossoneri, they played very well without Romagnoli/Theo/Bennacer/Calha/Rebic/Ibra.

Why in the blue hell did the ref disallow Kessie goal? Bah.

Yep, 2nd yellow and consequent red. But ehi, tonight ref decided to f*** up on so many calls.
