I feel like there can't be a better way to sum up how ass Man City have been this season than an own goal going in off their goalie's ass. Sadly looks like Leyton Orient won't be pulling this off, but that was a fun moment.

This truly is the darkest timeline, and I fear it's only the beginning. Liverpool probably waltzing to the title, City probably escaping serious punishment, United probably floundering outside of the top 10. I knew we'd have to atone for the success under Fergie, but surely, we've suffered enough at some point, right? Right?
Don’t fall into this trap who is manager right now is less than 1% of the reason they don’t play well. I see the stupid crap on fan channels saying “insert name” manager has no system or runs one that does not suit the players. Pray tell what system suits stupid lazy non talented players? They have nothing even remotely like a top talent. Not even one. Way too old or way too young. The recruitment has been insanely poor no manager is turning a collection of turds into anything soon.

Liverpool may win a lot of trophies this year or not, but the season will be overshadowed by getting booted out of one competition by the team sitting last in the Championship.

No it won't lol. Liverpool correctly prioritised their midweek fixture in the league cause winning the league is significantly more meaningful than the FA Cup.

Yeah, that was largely a reserve team, that result could have gone either way. I dont think anyone is going to be too fussed about it.

It's embarrassing, but not particularly meaningful. Now if they don't win anything this season except the Cariboo Cup this one gets worse, but if they win the league and/or UCL no one is gonna remember this.

Obviously its not ideal, it just means that our Reserves are only League 1 level at best. Thats concerning.

Yes it will. Lol

If they had "correctly" done anything right they'd still be in the competition.

Right, Spurs play every 3/4 days with 10 first teamers out for weeks on end, and we should make excuses for Liverpool that rotated 8 guys and lost to a League 1 team.

Imagine they win the UCL and PL and we're here in June saying "Sure, they did what every other team in the PL wishes they could do, but that dang FA Cup loss sure overshadows it all". Your commitment to hating Liverpool is commendable.

Imagine. Imagine. Let's project forward to June. Lol!

If they win the league they'll reflect back and say it was a great move for Liverpool to be "correctly" humiliated by the worst team in the championship.

For someone that claims to support no one the magnitude of your level of butthurt and sad attempt to defend this humiliation is commendable.

Kai Havertz out for the season.
Arsenal don't have a single strike and barely have fit wingers. We are cooked.
