yeah, when Owen was about to take it i had this feeling Shaka was gonna save it. Ive never had that feeling before, apart from earlier in the season when Owen missed that penalty against Chelsea.

Must be an Owen thing i spose.

Baros looked good today.

02-22-2004, 08:27 PM

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

**packt up** · 02-22-2004, 09:44 PM

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?

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

**Ogen** · 02-22-2004, 10:05 PM

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

**Cactus Sid** · 02-23-2004, 04:21 AM

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.

**The Mackem** · 02-23-2004, 05:44 AM

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

**packt up** · 02-23-2004, 02:30 PM

Answer my question punks

Part from Ogen

**Rob Ban Fan** · 02-23-2004, 04:12 PM

well its not like its the original trophy anyway, is it? Im fairly sure its been replaced in the past or whatever.

And besides, they've got to actually win the thing for a 3rd time first and Portsmouth stand in their way

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

Right next to 1973

**Dazz** · 02-24-2004, 01:32 PM

What? Whats going on?

I didn't say anything.

**Wengerland** · 02-25-2004, 09:36 AM

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.

**The Mackem** · 02-25-2004, 05:31 PM

Sunderland 2 Birmingham 0 A.E.T

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

**Dazz** · 02-25-2004, 05:33 PM

I do

**The Mackem** · 02-25-2004, 05:36 PM

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!

**Dazz** · 02-25-2004, 05:39 PM

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.

**Wengerland** · 02-25-2004, 05:41 PM

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

**The Mackem** · 02-25-2004, 05:41 PM

I better pitch a tent outside the SOL ticket office. The final tickets will sell like hotcakes.

**Sin Harvest** · 02-25-2004, 06:08 PM

Sunderland for the cup, beating Arsenal in the semi's just like in 1973, BRING IT!

**Y2Ant** · 02-25-2004, 06:10 PM

That reminds me, I need to put a bet on Euro 2004

I was gonna put it on Italy but the odds were better for Germany

**Y2Ant** · 02-26-2004, 01:14 PM

you nob

i'm thinking Italy or Czech Republic or Holland, hmmm

**Wengerland** · 02-26-2004, 01:47 PM

I'd go Czech Republic or England at those odds.

Depending on when my exams finish i might be going to the championships.

But you doubted me when I said Germany would win it.

And MMM, where do you go to bet? Ladbrokes do it at 16/1 for Germany.

**Cactus Sid** · 03-06-2004, 09:37 AM

Just finished watching the Man U game and a few things I thought

Firstly, while Fulham put in a few tough challenges, with a few deserved bookings, I lost count of the number of stupid decisions which were given in favour of United, it was ridiculous, United were the better side, I'll admit, but damn they got a lot in their favour, I guess the ref had to make up for giving a penalty at Old Trafford.

My main problem is with Gray and Tyler, they are so fucking biased to United. When the second goal went in, they both had orgasms over it, how amazing the goal was etc.... it was just a goal, Ronaldo outpaced some young full back (who was shite) put across a ball and suprise suprise Van Nistelrooy put it in from 4 yards, they acted like it was the goal of the season.

Not just that, but for 90 minutes all they talk about is United this, United that, Fulham barely get a mention, and when the game was getting into the last 15 minutes all they talked about is where United where going, and how they were coping, and all this stuff bumming United, it was just sickening to listen too.

Of course, the United fans will say different, but if you just listen to these guys, they are just so up Ferguson's ass it's unbelivable

**Wengerland** · 03-06-2004, 10:01 AM

I wouldn't say Gray and Tyler were really biased,Gray questioned a load of the shitty decisions from the ref and i didn't really think they went that mad over the United goals.In fairness though after the penalty was scored i'd have never have known it from the commentary as at the time i was talking to someone,penalty was taken and then there seemed to be silence,so your right about them there.Plus they did mention Fulham much more.

Fulham looked decent and at time very good in the first half but faded badly in the second,then again United(apart from the goal) rarely troubled Van Der Sar.

First penalty scored by an away side at Old Trafford in some 12 years i believe.

**Rob** · 03-06-2004, 11:19 AM

What are you on about? Those two dickheads have done their best all season to label Ronaldo as a diver who can't cross.

Some many away teams have missed penalties at OT in those 12 years by the way?
