should be easy, if we beat Watford.

Which you didn't. :D

Typical Leeds losing again.

looks like we have a youth team run out then :$

West Ham WTF

Goddammit no doubt Brooking will be all over the TV and radio putting a hex on us :mad:

He can't do that, he starts his new job as FA technical director today

Newcastle :|

meh we lost to Spurs at home in the league but then again we did beat Man City away in the league and drew in the cup,so hopefully we can win the replay cause i reckon we have a chance.

Quite a few all premiership ties so i'd think RBF would be the most pleased.:(

Sadly I think your right.

Will it be another 4-3 thriller?

I doubt it :(

I think we are going to win :(.

Ant :cry: ({)?

All the people on my floor at univesity are scouse supporters - fun day out woo!

:cool:

I seriously reckon we can beat Spurs,won't be too mad if we don't as league is top priority but if we can and then avoid the top 3 + winner of Newcastle/Liverpool then we can go to the quarters.:D (Then all we need to do is avoid Wycombe :$ ).

Barnsley are in better form than Blackpool though.:$

Got a bit of a feeling that Everton might upset some teams this year.

GO LEICESTER!!!

GO NORTHAMPTON!!!

:rant::rant::rant:

Ganea should play, if he doesn't do it against Kiddy then we're screwed for the league :cry:

We need Izzet back in the team after Sunday's mess.:cry:

:cool:

Dammit Kidderminster :cry:

Last time I used them on FIFA 2004, I beat Leeds 5-1 on world class :cool:

Stuart Brock = The goodzz

YAY NORTHAMPTON

Come on City... :(

Oh well, good enough.

West Ham - David James in the next round :-\

Don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing

...which isn't happening. :'(

I got a laugh out of it,my dad asked where Nalis had been since the Wolves game so i said he'd gone to France for family grievances or something and then about 2 minutes later Nalis kept on giving the ball away every time he got it,so my dad said:

"PISS OFF BACK TO FRANCE YOU ****ING FROG"

no offence intended btw. :$

Gary Neville is a fu</>cking disgrace, its bad enough he dived, but his rection after was shocking. If he is going to dive, at least do it properly. And dont throw a big girly tantrum and try and start on the other team afterwards, (doesn't he remember from the Arsenal game at OT that his team mates are pussies?).

Headbutting McManananaman was stupid too, and then you get these moronic United fans claiming that people hate them because they are jealous. Well, actually, everyone hates them for the same reason that they hate Leeds and Millwall, they are dirty cunts.

P.S, Nistelrooy's goals combined were about 1 year out. how people can tell me he doesn't just score tap ins is beyond me. And City's defending is whack.

Who says RVN doesn't score tap ins? No way was the second offside though.

Neville is a tool. Hopefully Roy Keane will beat the piss out of him later.

Oh yeah, Ronaldo can't cross :roll:

This competition is all the poorer for us not winning it this year.

That is all.

Yeah I don't understand what the hell Sky sports were on about for that second goal, Nistelrooy wasn't in an offside position when it was crossed, nor was Keane when he headed it, and nor was Nistelrooy when he tapped it in.

People always say he scores good goals and can score from outside the six yard box, the only time I have seen him do this is from a penalty.

And Ferguson is wrong, no way should the ref have blown up after Neville's dive, he should have played advantage as Cuty were on the attack, and then when the ball went off, booked Neville.

LOL at when Fortune (i think it was him) skinned that City bloke for Ronaldo's goal, he looked liek a right twat.

You didn't even get very far in the jobber cup, you had no chance in the F.A cup

That is because the jobber cup is for jobbers.

As witnessed by Middlesborough being in the final.

Their above you in the league. :roll:

Not saying much is it :p

Martin Tyler and Andy 'Big Head' Gray are doing their best to label Ronaldo as a diver too but fu</>ck 'em.

1-1 Sunderland/Birmingham

Pretty good Manc derby.:y:

I was hoping Swansea could get through though.:(

:mad: DAMMIT, RBF asked me what the score was going to be before the match, I said 1-1, I wish I hadn't stopped betting a few weeks ago.

:rant:

Sunderland did pretty well imo,looked like a premiership side for much of the game. :y:

What, your biggest fans turning against you?

Sorry...bar the guy who always commentates on Man U on ITV

Clive Tyldesley :y:

Anyways, holy shit :eek: @ Reyes' first. You don't save those [/Soccer AM Andy Gray impersonation]

Yeah it was a good goal, I kinda pissed off about the match, I expected us to lose, but I dont think we deserved to. Durkin is a fu</>cking shit ref, but wasn't baised towards anyone, just plain aweful. The lino is blind. Good to se Mutu getting a goal, he's deserved one recently.

He commentated when we won the champions league so we love him! :love:

Jonathon Pearce is where its at.

As he helpfully reminds everyone by making a reference to 1999 every time he commentates on United in Europe :|

Pearce is good :y:

Barry Davies is still great. Personally I like Peter Brackley as well (the guy who did Football Italia for C4, still does some for Premiership now). Alan Parry's not bad either.

On the other hand, Motson is the most annoying commentator I can think of :mad:

Motson has the ideal commentating voice, apparently.

I think that Gray and Tyler are the best duo by far.


good goal form Taylor, gives Pompey some hope.

Why the hell did they time waste at the end, from those corners, thats the best chance that they would have had to win, they aint gunna win at Fratton.

The dive was appaling, worthy of Klinsman himself, but seriously, although i dont think headbutting is a good advert for the game, even i would've nutted mcmanaman, what a knob jockey!

MILLWALL STILL ROCKING ALL THE WAY TO CARDIFF BABY!!!!

Yeah i think Brackley's a great commentator and very underrated.

I also agree with the second point and Dazzs' that Tyler and Gray are the best duo.

I saw what you meant about Ranieri's subs being poor.:$ Today he takes off Mutu who was looking your best threat and at the same time didn't bring on Crespo,i mean even if he's not fully fit he is still a good player and can score(as shown at Pompey in midweek). Gronkjaer wasn't the worst player either so maybe another bad decision but you definetly need a better sub keeper.

Lampard had a poor game though.:$

Congrats to Pompey, lucky bastards :mad:

I thought Pompey deserved something from that match. Liverpool have no tactics and it's clearly a matter of time before Houiller is gone. I think if they don't win the replay he is gone. Gerrard and Owen played well but that's about it for them. Smertin and Yakubu were really good for Portsmouth. Does Yakubu ever run out of energy? I don't think I've seen a striker run as much over 90 minutes (Paul Dickov is close but that's it).

Gerrard is the only Liverpool player who can hold his head up high at the moment, and you know something, all the talk is about Owen leaving, but if Gerrard has any sense, he'll get out when he can, and I wouldn't blame him if he did, the guy is in a different class to the rest of the side. Owen just doesn't have "it" anymore, to me he's just another striker, he plays well for England, because he gets service, Kewell, Cheryou and Le Tallec, just don't provide it. Carragher is quality, very underrated, very consistent, but is IMO being played out of position on the left, which is restricting him. The defence has been looking really shaky, so I think we need to bring back in Riise, sure he's attacking, but he has a good presence and a good header, and puts in good challenges, as well as going forward, the problem today and recently is that Houllier wants both full backs to go forward, which suits Finnan, but not Carragher, get Riise in, attack down that left and leave 3 men back is what I'd do. Riise and Kewell down the left should = service. I was completely shocked by your goal, cos I was talking to my mate one minute about how bad Heskey was, but at the same time the reason I think he should be played, the next minute all I saw was you scoring. I think that was your 1st or 2nd shot in the half?

Anyway, I really think you'll go through, your great at home, and Liverpool just have nothing at the moment, so :(

I disagree with Pompey deserving something. They defended well, but they barely attacked, Liverpool were all over them for most of the game, and should have won comfortably.

Liverpool's tactics are so varied, they make no sense. Switching wings for the wide men is stupid, it doesn't work, its been proven this season. We're still pumping high balls forward, even though Owen and Pongolle are midgets and Heskey can't head a ball to save his life. Today, when we were passing the ball around on the ground, one touch style, we were superb, and it was a joy to watch, but then, it might be successful, so Houllier wont touch it with a barge pole.

Houllier's gonna be out at the end of the season. The fans have turned against him, because he has no heart (not doing a bad joke). He doesn't know what his best 11 is, he doesn't have any idea about how to break teams down, he just doesn't have a clue. He persists in playing guys like Diouf, Biscan and Cheyrou, who all have had a few good moments (Diouf vs Blackburn, Biscan vs Everton (both away) and Cheryou for a couple of games) but that's it. We have no width, we have no speed, and we have strikers who don't make enough runs. Gerrard can't do everything, but Houllier is expecting him to do that. We need Cisse, we need a winger, and we need someone to replace Henchoz, Mexes and Cisse from Auxerre would be great signings, and it might be a long shot, but Pennant from Arsenal would be a great signing, he's quick, he can cross, he's got so much potential, he's not gonna get in the Arsenal side, and he's a Liverpool fan.

If we don't win the cup or qualify for the Champions League, Houllier is out. Hell, if we don't do both he should go.

:wave:

but he scored that goal against Leicester. :wavesad:

If I remember correctly the draw is as follows

Millwall vs Tranmere

Manchester United vs Fulham/West Ham

Birmingham/Sunderland vs Sheffield United

Liverpool/Portsmouth vs Arsenal

Yay... even if we beat Pompey we're out

Yeah that's the draw.

Its ok i guess,guaranteed 1 nationwide league club in the semi's.

Yeah I know, I hate it when he brings off Mutu, but he always does. :mad:, he scored the goal, and worked fu</>cking hard, he does SO much for the team. and then Jimmy does nothing and Ranieri leaves him on, and brings on Eidur who also does nowt. :wtf:

It REALLY annoys me that we realsed Rhys Evans, who is Englands under 21 first choice keeper, and bough Sullivan, Macho and Ambrosio. :|

And I don't think Lampard played badly, he just wasn't as good as usal, for the last five games or so he has played average.

ADRIAN MUTU :rant: :foc:

The papers seem to like him. What I've seen he looks aiight and he scored 2 last week for us so :y:

We are millions of pounds in debt so I really doubt we'll be signing anybody.

Most of the time i've seen him(except fort Charlton at the Bridge ,can't remember how he played in the 4-2 against them),he's been good.Like in the Blackburn game where he should've had a hat-trick but i guess when i compare him to that he would seem poor on Sunday.Point taken.

Ha'way Sunderland! Do Bobby Stokoe proud!

Warnock doesn't want to play Sunderland in the next round, cuz he doesn't want to play someone from the same division. BOLLOCKS! The wanker doesn't want Sheffield United to play AWAY at Sunderland because the last time we played them, we outclassed them in every way.

sorry, wrong thread

:cool: ave it scousers. I haven't seen the match, but I have heard about how much of a tit the ref was.

Still, your going to job to the Arse in the next round.

lol that ref completely sucked,neither of them were penalties nor looked even close to being one.

Well done Pompey but Liverpool really need Houllier to leave and Owen to regain form,i mean they should have won again today from what i saw.

I'm not gonna go on a rant, because I am completely fed up, and gutted.

Congratulations Pompey, I think we were by far the better side over the 2 games, but you did what you had to do, so good work.

Can't be arsed to say anything about Houllier or Owen, the Liverpool fans can say what they like about both, but fu</>ck all is being done.

Hey Sid, have you heard the song we sing? To the tune of the Only Fools and Horses Theme?

It goes:

*clears throat*

I'll Stick a Veron in me pocket,
I'll nick Glenn Johnson from West Ham.
Cos if you want the best 'uns,
But you don't ask questions,
Then Roman, he's your man
Cos where it all comes from is a mystery,
Is it the drugs money or is it the oil industry?
But here's the one that's drivin' me beserk,
How the fu</>ck is Houllier in work?
Nah nah na na nah, na na na na na na etc

:lol:

:y:

I haven't yet heard us sing it, its on footballchants.org. My brother said he heard it when he went to watch us play reading away. I havent been to an away match, so perhaps we only sing it then.

Anyone see Owen's penalty? That's got to be the worst penalty I've ever seen! He virtually passed it to the keeper!! :lol:

The ref was sh</>ite, no doubt, but I still think Liverpool were the better side. They played well, they just didn't create any chances.

Also, I said to my mate as soon as Owen picked up the ball "If Murphy was taking it, 1-0, he's gonna miss" the guy showed no confidence what so ever, and I actually hope we sell the bastard in the summer. If he wont sign a new contract, screw him, he's not helping the cause.

^^^I'm actually watching that game right now. I just saw the penalty by Owen and it wasn't a great shot at all.

LOL @ CHANT must spread around before i rep you again dazz :'(

Anyway I liked the fact that Scousefiends went out cos the people on my floor are generally Scouse fans - gives me something to get at them for a bit :). (poor Cactus ({))

On a totally new point (I think) what do people think of Arsenal getting to keep the cup if they win it for a third time?? Blackburn did it way back apparently but they are one of the people pushing for them to keep it if they win it again. Personally I think it would be a great achievement and something that should be recognised but I dunno about giving the cup to them permanently :muh: so yeah what do you think punks? :mad:

Yeah maybe he felt bad about it being such a shitty penalty decision? Maybe subliminally or something i dunno.

Or maybe it was just a shit penalty :)

Oh and Baros looked like Chris Coleman :y:

Yeah give em the cup they deserve it unbeaten in the cup since 2001 is a nice little title

Owen just has no conviction about his penalties, he doesnt look like he wants to take it, if thats the case, he should have given it to Murphy.

Also, Milan Baros is the man, I have been saying time and time again that the lad has some quality to him, and Houllier needs to bring him back, bar Gerrard he was our best player yesterday.

That's funny because I always considered him the best penalty taker in the country until just recently.

Sunderland's replay with Birmingham is coming up mid week.

Shame we got thrashed by Cardiff on Saturday and probably have no confidence again :(

Answer my question punks :mad:

Part from Ogen :love:

As do the SUPER LIONS!!!, my good man. Wisey will lead us to Cardiff this year and FA Cup glory :y:

:lol: ^

Yeah Dazz is right, Sunderland's name is already on the trophy.

Right next to 1973 ;)

What? Whats going on?

I didn't say anything.

The last Millwall manager was a failed Leicester manager and now the current one is a failed Leicester player,so they should have no chance.

Looks like they'll get to the semi's though.

Sunderland 2 Birmingham 0 A.E.T

Boo yeah! Who says we aren't going to win the cup :D

I do :$

Sheff Utd next at home. Oh Dazz, if you're a betting man, I'd put you're entire bank balance on Sunderland bringing the Fa Cup back home.

What will be, will be!

I used to be a betting man. But I have cut down lately, only made two bets this yea,r I lost one, and the other I dunno about till June/July time.

Great result for Sunderland and it gives me confidence as we play Birmingham at St. Andrews after Wolves.
