Just saw the goals and was gobsmacked how City's goals stood in a competition that supposedly has VAR implemented. Thought to myself, hell, I must have heard wrong then, there must be no VAR at all here. So I googled "FA Cup VAR" and this was the first thing that came up:

"VAR is in use during the FA Cup, but only at Premier League grounds"

In other news, Arsenal go above Spurs now. Although I kinda wanted them to be out of the top 4 as I think they'd find the most difficult to return as opposed to the other top 4 candidates (which means less competition for us), I'm kinda glad for now them as I dislike them the least.

But more importantly, Spurs now have a problem on their hands that they probably didn't think they'd have a few weeks ago, to remain in the top 4. Hopefully they'll raise their performance (they'll have to if they wanna play in the Champions League again next season), and cause some problems for City in their PL match.

Yes exactly, was hoping the mancs would drop points today so they have no other option but to beat City if the want to remain in the top 4.

So that's Spurs and United City have to play, both will have to get something off that game if they want to have hope for CL football next season. Apart from them, City have to play Cardiff and Burnley, both fighting for survival in the PL. And there's also Crystal Palace and Leicester, who look very strong under Rodgers now. That's 6 difficult games for City, surely they'll drop points in at least one of them. It only remains to be seen if we can do our own job.
