Some Tottenham fans claimed they wanted to lose today in order to hinder Arsenal. Made it sound like they had a choice in the matter. Judging by that first half I think they should be looking over their shoulders rather than worrying about Arsenal #TOTMCI

Yes, we need to improve on our recent league displays. But not a bad weekend after all for Arsenal. Hopefully everyone can calm down now. #COYG

I’m no lover of Man City and all they’ve done to English football. But that VAR decision is an absolute joke! #NEWMCI

I reckon that is the 115th time City have been drawn at home against lower league opposition in the FA Cup since 2011 #FACup #facupdraw

Fair play to Macclesfield. But anyone in that ground with a half and half scarf should not be allowed to celebrate that win #FACup

Starting to think Man Utd should have a guest manager every week like Have I Got News For You do with presenters. So Solskjær this weekend, Keane the next, maybe Scholes at some point. But probably wise to miss out Rooney.

Not sure we need lectures from Neville and Keane on what constitutes a disgrace in football, though. Reyes, Haaland, Southgate, Andy D'Urso are examples where they let themselves down.

Keane waited years to do Haaland. Perhaps he should sit this one out.

What Martinelli did last night was wrong and he has apologised. We've all done stupid things in the heat of the moment and then realised that we need to hold our hands up and admit we cocked up.

Slot was brilliant in his interview. Calmly explained the situation re time wasting.

Just seen that Jamie Smith dismissal. Speechless really. Probably the worst thing to happen to English cricket since some wise men came up with the idea of destroying August with that ridiculous tournament #Ashes2025

Remember when #SPOTY used to be good? Think this will be my last year watching this once great programme. Look at the 1985 BBC Sports Review of the Year. What a show:
