Man Utd also tried there best to top Tottenham's result but they won on pens against Rochdale, and the lights went out on Bournemouth literally as the floodlights at Burton went off 3 times in the second half as they lost 2 - 0 to the 3rd tier side.
Anyway heres the 4th round draw:
Quite a surprising fact with 11 PL sides there was 5 all PL ties with the 3 standout ties being Chelsea - Man Utd, Liverpool - Arsenal & a derby with Aston Villa v Wolves.
But Burton v Leicester is the only tie that could have a legitmate upset, it is worth pointing out though that their will definitely be a League 1 & 2 team in the last 8 so a potential big payday is in sight for them for whoever progresses.
We will lose in the quarter finals against man city on penalties for the 3rd year in a rowWest Ham: Hold my beer

And football fans think Arsenal are Banter FC, Tottenham of late clearly trying their best to take that crown it seems:
Anyone want to create THFan TV - at the rate of Tottenham's decline we would be youtube millionaires by the end of this season.

You don't want to qualify for the Europa League they said. Too many games they said. Thursday nights and Sundays they said.
3rd October: Besiktas 0 - 1 Wolves
6th October: Manchester City 0 - 2 Wolves
3rd October: Besiktas 0 - 1 Wolves
6th October: Manchester City 0 - 2 Wolves
So after another break for international action, which saw England lose a qualifier for the first time in 10 years but then trounce Bulgaria 6 - 0 with unfortunately racism being the biggest talking point of that match rather then the great England performance.
Anyway domestic football returns this weekend with the highlight being Man Utd v Liverpool tomorrow, not only are Man U missing De Gea and Pogba for that massive game and going through one of the worst starts in there recent history but after reading this:

It probably looks like to their fans - Ed Woodward is basically saying this to them:

Well just another ordinary weekend in the Premier League...
Own goal winners
Keeper saving 2 penalties - but still loses 3 - 1
Arsenal fans stuck with a captain they hate:

So heading into the international break Liverpool with a massive win over Man City to have a 8 point lead at the top, Chelsea & Leicester also maintaining there good form meaning the top 4 have pulled a gap over the rest of the European chasing bunch - led by Sheffield Utd...
Amazing how quick things can change, Pochettino leads Tottenham incredibly to a UCL final 6 months ago and got the chop only a few days ago, and the Tottenham board didn't wait long as Mourinho was announced as there new managed just 12 hours later, its pretty shocking and the timeline of events leaves people with no doubt this was clearly planned well in advance by the Tottenham board.
It'll be interesting to see how Mourinho gets on, as for Pochettino I imagine it won't be long before he's made manager of a proper big club.

Don't tell me you've got your head in the sand over football as well as F1. FFS.
What are you on about, so what do you disagree with me on - That Pochettino overall didn't perform a miracle at Tottenham or that Tottenham aren't a big club?
You seriously think Tottenham are a big club!
My opinion on who classify as big clubs in this day and age, you have the classic big 3 of Arsenal, Liverpool & Man Utd.
Now some people would argue that Chelsea & Man City apply to that group, Chelsea could have more legitimate claims but have only being dining consistently at the top table for trophies for the last 15 years (since Abramovich took them over), there fans could argue they have built there history in that period, but I'll be very interested to see what will happen once Abramovich sells up and if a return to obscurity follows.
Man City had some decent history before they had there takeover, but the past 10 years have seen them truly return to prominence, but for me they need another 10 years at the top to have legit claims that there a 'big club'.
As for Tottenham there clearly a level below those mentioned above, as in the last 30 years they've won just 1 FA Cup & 2 League Cups and spent around 20 of those years finishing in mid-table obscurity, not only are they the epitome of being 'bottlejobs' in this day and age, also they somehow managed to finish 3rd in a 2 horse race only a few years ago.
Hell I've even had the joy of witnessing in the past, the Tottenham fans at white hart lane throwing there season tickets on the pitch en masse at the final game of the season.
And even if you want to go to the extreme of entire club history, then my team who are a small club in the grand scheme of things and have punched well above there weight, have won more league titles then Tottenham and almost as many FA Cups as them.
So to summarise are Tottenham a big club - nowhere near.

Euro 2020 draw:
Holy F*ck - Group F should be illegal.
I imagine the German's, French & Portuguese fans are reacting like this to that draw:

FA Cup 3rd round draw:
The Merseyside derby is obviously the headline of this draw, but how times have changed in the past most fans thought the draw was rigged in Man Utd's favour in the early rounds, but these days that accusation is pointed at the other club in Manchester.
