The Football.....

Now we're getting to the pointy end of the season let's take a look at CycleChat's very own fantasy football cup.

We're at the semi-final stage and after 25% of the rounds' matches played the status is thus:

Should Henderson have got a red? Yes, judging by what I've read and seen (didn't watch it). But it's on City that they had so many goal scoring opportunities and wasted them. Blaming the officials won't cut it.

It was an absolutely ludicrous decision by VAR not to intervene, absolutely clear goalscoring opportunity

True. But as bad as the decisions were, still on the teams to get on with it and get the job done…

Lots to play for and still anybody’s game

8/10 games played - they’re stretching it out this round.

Andy’s underdogs setting up a final against the league leaders at the mo. Will they hold on to their lead?

Underdogs is an understatement. It doesn't help that I only remember to occasionally update my team and that I had no idea I was even in a cup competition.

I'm so conflicted about this match. On the one hand lumping more financial misfortune on Man Utd is incredibly attractive, but on the other hand, Spurs winning a trophy?

I know what you mean, but trophies are only for Christmas. Bankruptcy is forever.

I feel the same.
Loving the plight of both clubs. Hilarious.
I can't be doing have Spurs win anything, but if they do then they can at least say they had a better season the the Arse.

That's the bit I can't possibly allow. I forbid it.
