I suspect it will be if he loses the second leg of the Semi-final. But they are two wins away from Europa League at least.

Spurs manager will be sacked if they lose. 

I’m surprised that he lasted as long as he has Tony.

Just a shame Wolves lost. Taking points off Newcastle and putting ManU and Spurs closer to relegation.

Ferdinand taking the "don't stop talking" approach to punditry there.

Something like 2 wins in 10 in the PL. They can be very good and entertaining now and again but ultimately they are some Ardiles/Bielsa hybrid side that was ordered from Teemu.

Mad that, as poor a season as they're having, West Ham are two points above Spurs.

Saw someone point that out earlier, especially given WH sacked their manager as a result of their form.

Five-time winners Lyon were knocked out in the last 32 of the Coupe de France on penalties by an amateur team from the fifth tier of French football.

Despite the five-time winners playing stars Alexandre Lacazette, Nemanja Matic, Said Benrahma and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, they were held after normal time by minnows Bourgoin-Jallieu.

Mehdi Moujetzky opened the scoring for the Championnat National 3 side before Matic equalised just before the break.

Georges Mikautadze gave Lyon the lead after the restart but Moujetzky scored his second to take the match to penalties.

Lyon's Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso both missed in the shootout, as did Moujetzky - whose Panenka attempt was saved.

But substitute Sofiane Atik hit the winning spot-kick to send Bourgoin-Jallieu into the last 16.

The Coupe de France is no stranger to upsets from amateur sides. In 2000, fourth-tier Calais RUFC made it all the way to final, losing 2-1 to Nantes.

The Bourgoin-Jallieu keeper is an engineering student at university in Lyon when he's not saving penalties. Probably a few grumpy classmates this morning.

They play in claret and blue, I notice. Coupe de France is much better than the FA Cup.

Some maniacs on here probably think it would be better if they'd drawn and got a replay.
