Man Utd could do a lot worse than Bilic as manager.

I wonder what sort of valuations Payet and Marhez would be at if anyone were interested in trying to sign them this summer?
Their values must have gone up dramatically since their respective clubs signed them!

What a great win!
Arsenal had most of the ball naturally but didn't think they created that much until near the end (and you need some luck in a cup run with regard to that Welbeck miss)
A cracking strike from Guedioura and nice to see Ighalo get his goal.
Excellent atmosphere.
Roll on Wembley.

Congratulations, you were excellent today. You have an excellent manager who got his tactics spot on.
Unlike our old duffer who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'tactics'.
Pleased for the Palace, Watford and Everton fans. Hopefully West Ham will finish the job and complete a great FA Cup semi final line up.
Also, big respect to the Spurs fans today applauding and joining the Villa fans in the anti Lerner songs and booing the stewards who confiscated the "Lerner Out" banners. The "Lerner for Arsenal" chants were particularly good! Good luck to both Spurs and Leicester in the title race.

It will probably be the case that newcastle will get a result.
It is always the case that players tend to up their game when the previous manager has been shown the door.

Meanwhile here is a genuinely affectionate piece on Leicester City by a real supporter, Gary Lineker, in today's Guardian entitled "Nothing compares to this truly magical title charge by my Leicester City",

Read that this morning, a very heartfelt piece of writing.

Okay, I think you have occupied the sensible ground, so I will go for a more off the wall prediction. Leicester have been creating several good chances every game recently, but not converting as many as they were earlier in the season; this is obviously true for Vardy as well as for the team. Tonight they are up against one of the worst defences in the premier league and one of the worst attacks. I predict a Leicester win, 4-1.

Just saying that players tend to do brilliantly when they have contributed to the manager getting the sack.
We have forum posters who question my loyalty to leicester city. I support them regardless of result and regardless of league they are playing in.
I aint a glory hunter who supports a team when they are doing good and when they are going through a bad patch latch on to the next best thing.

Maybe (and I think Rafa WILL keep Newcastle up) but tonight may be a bit early for him to really work his organisational magic. No doubt they'll be far tougher to beat soon enough but I'm still expecting a Leicester win. Could get twitchy if the Foxes don't get a goal in the first half. I think Rafa will be targeting Norwich, Southampton and Villa away for seven away points and hope to pick up a couple of wins at St James'. 37 points or so should see them just escape. I'm thinking Sunderland and Norwich will join Villa in the Championship.
Be interesting to see how Leicester deal with the way Newcastle play this game with Newcastle not allowing them to play their usual game of long ball over the top on the counter attack.

Don't worry, nobody would accuse you of supporting the team when they're doing well.
I think Rafa can keep them up. They have a better team than their position suggests. The fans need to support them not get on the players backs whenever they go a goal down like now because that certainly won't help the team.
Great finish by Okazaki. Leicslad will be happy, that goal should keep them up in the Premier League.
