It was two FA Cup quarter-finals to remember, as both Manchester United and Coventry City came from behind to set up a meeting in April's Wembley semi-final! Erik ten Hag’s side left it late as they came from behind twice in what was a pendulum swinger of seven-goal affair, culminating in complete euphoria at Old Trafford after Amad scored a dramatic winner. And it was mirrored by Coventry City who scored two goals in four minutes at Wolves to sneak their way into a Wembley match-up with the Red Devils.

It’s Pancake Day here in the UK and Chelsea certainly earned a sweet victory at Crystal Palace, are they were tossed closer towards the relegation zone which leaves major questions of if Roy Hodgson will remain as head chef at the Eagles.

Just when we think we’d had enough headaches with VAR being the main talking point, we’ve now been hit with a possible new rule on the horizon - the blue card. Blue cards would mean a 10 minute ‘sin bin’ for a player following dissent towards the referee, or a tackle which doesn’t quite warrant a red, but is too cynical to be a yellow. So, do you give the blue card the red card, or welcome it into the game?

Mauricio Pochettino has now managed as many games as his predecessor, Graham Potter, and eerily… their records are almost identical. But what isn’t identical is their fate after those 31 games, with Potter sacked shortly after. So, why hasn’t Pochettino received the same treatment and is he given the benefit of doubt due to his relative success as a manager? ‘Wembley of the North’ was the phrase written by the media, as it’s reported that Jim Ratcliffe wants Old - or new - Trafford to become the best in the country. So, do United need a new stadium, and are they at risk of turning a sacred stadium into a soulless stage?
