FA Cup 2017 R5: An Imp & A Giraffe walk into a bar

So an uninspiring draw still managed to throw up a few unexpected results. Newcastle came a cropper to Oxford and did Liverpool against a pack of Golden Wolves. Watford losing to Milwall would probably also be classed as shock, except for the fact that they were awful. Until they stopped being awful - you're welcome. And as to the 2 non-league teams - booya - 5th round here we come!

Interesting fact: Sutton also have a related satellite team inspired by them abroad. I knew Arsenal did and I'm sure other clubs do - but Sutton must be the smallest club ever to have this. The Gambia, if anyone cares. Home of the Argos President.

Spurs managed to avoid being the unwanted shock of the round by the skin of a hen (standing on a beach ball)'s tooth. Chelsea had their usual routine home win against a lower league side. Nowt else to mention other than football's first Saltbae themed celebration. The 21st century amiright...

S6M25: Zero to Almost Hero

Well folks, you'd have to say that's that for the league title.

Liverpool and Arsenal had the chance to reel Chelsea in and make things interesting. Now, the gap is 9 points to Tottenham, and 10 to Man City. Neither of whom have shown themselves capable of the consistency required to make up a gap like that, if - and it's a big if - Chelsea return to their early season form.

So, we turn again to the lesser battles. The remaining CL places are still 3 from 5, with a 5 point range separating the protagonists. Everton remain dark horses for as long as Lukaku maintains his form. At the ugly end of the table, it's also looking like 3 from 5. Sunderland are rallying whilst Palace have yet to show any benefit from their new manager effect. I don't think we've discussed the Alardyce-Cheryl Cole/Tweedy/wtvr her name is now photo yet. That is frankly the most disturbing image I've ever seen.

Hull & Swansea are also showing those famed green shoots, so could Leicester complete the more likely part of an unlikely & unwelcome double. A penny for the thoughts of Riyad Mahrez right now...
