So glad they got dumped out. The way it happened was even sweeter.

Just pray they can now finish the job off in Paris......

At very least it gives us a team to cheer in the final.

Most spectacular bottle job ever from one of the most overrated managers ever

Losing a 2 goal lead in 45 minutes is one thing but blowing it in stoppage time would really make you sick.

Wonder how they'll react, will it be wounded animal strikes out and demolishes the next Prem game or will the belief drain away and give the title to Liverpool?

Pep has only spent around £1bn at City so far, so I think he's done brilliantly to get his small squad this far

Similar to how brilliant Orient have done spending money over the years and ended up in the National League and now are struggling in league 2

I should of course mention that City have been hampered by sticking rigidly to UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules. Like Chelsea, they only spend what they earn. It's why Chelsea aren't have any problems despite no longer having the Ruski's billions pumped in every season

It’s not really similar, is it though?

No it isn’t. Which is why its bizarre how obsessed Orient fans are with Premier League clubs. It’s small time as f***.

Hardly an obsession. Couldn't give a monkeys about any of them, yet can't help having a chuckle when it goes pear-shaped for the real big spenders.

A day doesn’t go by without someone on here mentioning United, Liverpool, City, West Ham or Spurs.

Again. Orient nearly ceased existing because of bad spending. Have a word with yourself.

But you were happy for him to be outspending the divisions if it meant promotion

Pep is a flat track bully. Glad they got knocked out. Grealish is a fraud too £100m and only a sub

A bit unfair on Grealish. True, he hasn't had the impact at City that many thought. That's because of the abundance of quality around him. Some players, and managers too, are suited to being a one club man. He was the 'king' at Villa and that's where he should have stayed.

Not unlike Mahrez. He was sensational for Leicester. It’s taken him years to finally get himself some regular games.
