    I have, Joe. Thanks for asking. I had a bagel with cream cheese and biltong on top during my break. If you've never tried it, I highly recommended it.

    In a few hours, Goodison Park will be welcoming thousands of fans under the lights for the final derby match before a new ear begins at Bramley-Moore Dock stadium...

    Haha, yep that sums it up nicely, thanks Henry.

    OK, I think now's the time to focus on Celtic vs Bayern Munich and the Merseyside derby.

    Fancy a "favourite Goodison memories" as our next Get Involved?

    To sum up this mornings Pep chat. I think we can all agree, Guardiola is definitely one of the managers of all time.

    The floor is open to anyone who wants to make Dave's day.

    Even though he won't be a free agent any time soon, could somebody suggest Alexander Isak to Arsenal, for old time's sake?

    On a serious note, as an Arsenal fan can someone please put out a list of strikers that are free agents?

    Is a penalty shootout just a lottery? Not according to Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

    "It was a tough one. This is the FA Cup, we knew how hard it was going to be," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.

    "Credit to Exeter, but probably we didn't do one of the best games. At the end we are happy, this is more important.

    "Penalties is not a lottery. We have to prepare them and the boys were really focused on doing things properly.

    "We take our penalty shots in training sessions and did really well here."

    Where does this persistent myth of Pep only inheriting great sides come from?! Barca finished 3rd and 18 points off the pace the season before he joined. City scraped 4th on goal difference. He built both of those title winning sides! (Barca being the best ever side). Just odd that it persists despite being provably wrong with 2 seconds of thought!

    Nottingham Forest beat 10-man Exeter on penalties

    "It was a heroic effort - it feels like we've been playing for about three days," Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell told BBC Sport.

    The Grecians are 18th in League One and Caldwell thinks the game against Nottingham Forest can help spur his side on for the rest of the season.

    "The players were outstanding. The mentality, the teamwork, the looking after each other and protecting each other in difficult moments was incredible. It's something we have to take forward," he said.

    "We have to use this performance, we have to use this feeling and take this into the next 17 games."

    There was also FA Cup football last night - it just never ends.

    Nottingham Forest are into the fifth round of the competition but Nuno Espirito Santo's much-changed side - 10 changes in total - needed extra time and penalties to beat 10-man Exeter City at St James Park in the fourth round.

    In the shootout, Exeter's Reece Cole had his effort saved, while Angus MacDonald smacked the bar for the hosts before Neco Williams scored the decisive penalty for Forest.

    Josh Magennis opened the scoring for League One Exeter after five minutes, but Forest were soon level, then ahead, through Ramon Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi.

    Magennis got Exeter back in the tie with an equaliser from a set piece in the second half, although manager Gary Caldwell also watched his side go down to 10 men when debutant Ed Turns was given a straight red for an 87th-minute foul on substitute Morgan Gibbs-White.

    In the end, Forest avoided a potential banana skin and they will face Ipswich Town at the City Ground at the start of next month.

    Here's my controversial Pep take....He is massively over-rated. Inherited the greatest side ever at Barca, took Bayern backwards and performed as expected at the richest club in the world. Of course, as a United fan, I'm sure I would be singing a different tune had Fergie convinced him otherwise

    I've always wondered, who is it that makes these Tifos? They're hardly something you can just stitch together in your front room.

    And who checks for typos? Speaking as somebody who makes them often.

    Re 09:27 - When Pep arrived at City the spine of the team was Kompany, Fernandinho, Aguero, and David Silva. He's won two titles and a treble since they left. Not only is it yet another moving of the goalposts as far as City are concerned (remember when we wouldn't be a great team till we won in Europe), it's demonstrably untrue to say Pep hasn't had to rebuild the team.
